Tips for very curly hair?

I have a very mixed background, and my hair is pretty curly. My hair is about a 3B. There's a link to a pic of 3B hair below.

I just wanted to know some tips to keep it frizz-free, and how to tighten and define the curls.

Yeah, I know most would think I'm crazy for wanting tighter curls when my hair is 3B already, but I just like it like that. =]

Tips for very curly hair?

Never use HOT water on the hair and scalp. Always wash the hair with warm water followed by a cool rinse.

Be delicate with your curls while washing, conditioning and styling.

After you shampoo your hair:

Tilt your head to all three angles again (side/back/side), pile the ends into the towel and squeeze from ends to roots. Allowing the hair to fall away from the scalp prevents that oh-so-common flat top/wide bottom scenario by lifting and encouraging the wave pattern at the root. Squeeze hard and push against the scalp gently.

DO NOT COMB!! Apply your chosen curly hair product by either scrunching in gently from ends to roots or spraying if that's the case. Tilting works here too and will help ensure that you get the product underneath, especially near the scalp.

Curl Enhancer Styling Lotion - This creamy curl booster eliminates frizz, defines curls and provides light curl control. Ideal for fine hair textures. Go to this website for a complete line to take care and define your curls:

Avoid raking your fingers through the hair so you don't separate the curls. If your hair tends to be flat on the top, lift sections gently and spray the roots underneath those top sections.

Let your hair dry naturally, scrunching occasionally, or diffuse by tilting to all three angles again (even upside down, but carefully), gently piling the ends of the hair into the diffuser and pressing it up against the scalp.

Again, if your hair tends to be flat on top, make sure you're lifting those root sections slightly as you dry, the shape hair dries in is the shape it'll hold until it's washed again. Stop diffusing when the hair is still slightly damp, not visibly though. This will prevent frizzy hair and brittleness from over drying.

The less you disturb the hair during this process, the better your results will be. This technique effectively clumps the strands together, creating a well-defined curl or wave pattern and maximum shine while reducing frizz.

If your curls are very tight or tend to be fuzzy, stay away from brushes altogether!

Tips for very curly hair?

Don't wash hair every day. This kind of hair needs the natural oils from your scalp to reduce frizz. Try putting on some lavender oil or coconut oil in your hair for styling. This will reduce the frizz, while conditioning your hair and protecting it against sun damage. Its a good idea to deep condition your hair at least once a week a lot of frizz comes from damage to your hair. Wash and condition your hair using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Wavy and curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair. Comb hair in shower while conditioner is still in. Never brush or towel dry hair. Instead, air dry or diffuse.

Applying a leave in conditioner will often help tame your frizz, without weighing it down too much or leaving it feeling greasy. Some suggested leave in conditioners: Aveda Brilliant Damage Control, Bumble and bumble leave in conditioner with frizz control, or Aussie Hair Insurance. A great product for air drying your hair is Aveda Brilliant Pomades- they come with a humectant for letting your hair dry curly. If you're going to blow dry your hair and you want it curly, use a diffuser on the end of your blowdryer. Flip your head over and scruch your hair, but not too much. Dry until your hair is almost dry, and then let air dry the last bit. This prevents frizziness. Use a mousse or pomade for this. If you want Spray hair lightly with an anti-frizz spray.

How to handle curly, thick hair?

k welll i have thick curly hair and its really hard to handle it because it always gets tangled and the tangles take forever to brush them out! What should i do? also what are some good shampoos or conditioners to try? i use Frutcis Grangir(spelling?) and i need some new hairstyles? also does curly hair look better when its short or when its long?

THANKS!

How to handle curly, thick hair?

well if you are brushing when it is dry///tisktisk.

haha but.. the shampoo and conditioner you use is great.

just rememeber not to Shampoo everyday.. because thats not good for your hair..

and if you dont like your hair thick, go to a professional and get it thinned...

I think curly hair looks a hell of a lot better long... so if you want new styles just play with your hair.. with clips and stuff

cause you are lucky for having curly hair, you can pull off almost anything in a clip =D yeah

and maybe if you want to change your hair get it dyed... yeah..

How to handle curly, thick hair?

With a razor.

How to handle curly, thick hair?

i think curly hair looks better long. try brushing it more often and straightinh it

How to handle curly, thick hair?

NEVER use a razor. It grows back even thicker!!

I have the same problem - my hair's thick and curly. I use Pantine Pro-V curly shampoo and conditioner. I have medium-styled hair (to my shoulders) but I cut it off if it gets longer because it's painful to brush.

Try using a hair pick. It's easy to pull out of hair when you reach a bad tangle.

I know it's not a long answer, but I hope I've helped you. Good luck!

How to handle curly, thick hair?

i'd say to use herbal essences or tressemme it smells really good and it should help you. and you should also bring a brush in the shower with you! make sure you brush your hair out very well so when you get out you won't have that many knots.

How to handle curly, thick hair?

I have thick long curly hair too!!

Here's what I do.

Everynight after I take a shower, I braid my hair. This prevents it from getting tangly during the night. But first I put some hair gel in it because the braid can kill the curls. You can also try taking a shower in the morning and letting your hair curl up naturally.

Tresseme conditioner works really well for me!

For hairstyles, I have bangs which I usually straighten dead straight or I sorta curl it at the bottom so it's really bouncy looking. When I'm not in the mood to do my hair, I take this huge hair clip that's big enough for my hair, and clip up my hair in that. I also leave it down often.

and for your last question, I personally prefer longer hair, but short and longer hair both have their pros and cons!!!

I hope this helps!!

How to handle curly, thick hair?

if you like the way your hair is, try hot oil, should smooth it out. matrix sleek look shampoo and conditioner would work, its a little pricey but it comes in huge bottles. its worth it! :]

How to handle curly, thick hair?

I prefer curly hair when it's long. I have short curly hair and have the same problem. Use detangler shampoos and conditioner like Dove, which is so gentle and leaves your hair really soft and manageable. Sunsilk also works for me (You can try their shampoos and conditioners for poofy, kinky or frizzy - whichever might more apply to you. Don't forget their hair lotions for everyday use.

How to handle curly, thick hair?

straightening would be the best option. To avoid damaging your hair use heat protector serum before using the straighteners, that should help protect your hair. Ceramic straighteners are also healthier for your hair.

i think curly hair looks better when its longer, because there is a natural bounce to it.

How to handle curly, thick hair?

i'm a hairstylist living in hong kong (i'm from uk), usually when it comes to curly hair, it really depends on how curly and how thick when choosing length, very thick and very curly usually gets too BIG if its short (bob length) and very fine loose curls gets very flat and "lank" when it's too long, i suggest sitting down with a decent stylistand having a thourough consultation (a good stylist wont charge for a consultation, providing u call in advance expaining u want some advice), stay away from commercial products u get in a superstore, a salon will be able to advise u on which product is right for ur hair. to remove the tangles i suggest combing the conditioner through in the shower, carefully with a large tooth comb, like a rake comb or an afro comb. to find a reputable stylist, try going to ur country's expat website, every country should have one and put up a post asking for a recomendation, u'll see the same names keep coming up, thats usually a good guide. hope this helps... good luck.

How to handle curly, thick hair?

Get a really nice defuser. This helps make the hair a controllable curly. I think curly hair looks better atleast shoulder length. But that is just my own personal opinion... but I would deffinetally try a defuser. They work wonders. I promise.

How to handle curly, thick hair?

I'm right there with you! I also have thick curly hair that can be hard to manage.

First of all, go out and buy a comb with thick, spaced out prongs and use it during your shower. Brushes and combs with the eensy weensy little prongs separate curls into little sections that can make you look like little orphan annie. Make sure you use it IN the shower or right after it. dont use it when hair is dry or it will give you even more frizz. Don't towel dry hair, the rubbing will also break up your curls.

When your hair is damp, take a small amount of mousse and rub it between your hands, so you dont get a huge clump of mousse in one area. Take the mousse and lightly scrunch hair towards your scalp -%26gt; thatta way. Dont scruch up, you wont get coverage for most of your hair that way. This should help relax your curls so they aren't so cork-skrewy!

Next, go out and buy some Garnier Fructis soft curl cream. Because even though you made your hair more relaxed by using the mousse, you still need your curls to stay DOWN! instead of springing out all over the place. With the cream, take a small amount (its very thick) and rub in between your fingers, not your palms. Then, take your fingers and run them down over the curl (It should go straight for a second) then go back and wrap it around your finger, a pencil, a curling iron (not when its on though!) etc. to get the shape that you want. You can do this to any curl on your prettily shaped head. :)

Thats one style ive come it love and it gets easier every day i Do it! (Of course, i sometimes get lazy and deal with my little orphan annie curls) But if you want a style for your tight corkskrew curls, i found that growing it out a bit, leaving the bangs and some long strands towards the front down, while putting all the rest in a giant clip in the back looks pretty.

You say you want a nice shampoo or conditioner? Well, I haven't found a perfect one yet but you should look out for this:

Since curly hair is naturally dry and unmanageable, its best for you to NOT take a shower every day. Washing your hair that much will keep washing all of the natural oils from your hair and make it more frizzy and dry. So, in a shamppo and conditioner, youd want to look out for extra moisturizing products with oils and vitamins etc. It'll help A LOT!

As for hairstyles, you might want to find a hairstylist that majored in the care of curly hair. Not every stylist knows how to manage our little problems, but they'll guess and mess up if you don't instruct.

You might want to start growing your hair out asap. Nothing looks prettier than a girl with long natural waves, not too long though. We dont want to be cousin it with a bad perm! :) If you cut your hair short, itll bounce right back up and shrivel into this mini-afro.

my suggestion? make your hair longer, about 2.5 inches past your shoulder, then get lots of random layers. It'll help stop the mass of hair from piling on top of one another since the weight of the hair will make your top straighter and your bottom curlier. Its a way to even out the masses. But also make sure to request long layers, we don't want crisp cuts anywhere, it'll make your hair look too choppy and crisp. Curly hair is about going with the flow.

Jews with curly hair?

say what???????????????????????????????????

Jews with curly hair?

Obviously you have never been to Israel. The real mccoys have naturally, black curly hair. European Jews converted or intermarried with the other races because there is no such thing as a blonde-haired blue-eyed Jew unless of inter-racial marriage. It's just that simple. The real true Jews are Hebrews from the Mid-East.

Jews with curly hair?

So what you're saying is we're not white? ok.

Jews with curly hair?

I actually answered a question similar to this today, where someone asked about people who "look Jewish". You know, it's funny, I'm pretty sure there are folks out there who are convinced that Jews have curly hair rather than straight hair (never met a guy with a Jewfro?) Aaanyhoo, here's what I told the other guy; I think most of it applies here as well:

The "Jewish look" is a myth. In America, a lot of people go their whole lives only meeting Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern European descent (or at least, only realizing that these ones are Jewish, and it never occurs to them that some of the non-caucasians they meet might be Jewish as well). So when you say to a Jew: "Funny, you don't look Jewish." What you really mean, whether you realize it or not, is probably "funny, you don't look Polish".

We Jews are a mishmash of ethnicities at this point. Part of it is the fact that we've been scattered over the better part of the globe for the last two thousand years. And part of it is the introduction of Jews-by-choice (i.e. converts) into our people going all the way back to Abraham, who you could say was the first Jew and therefore the first convert.

So yeah, "looking Jewish" is really a common misconception. I've known Hispanic Jews, Middle Eastern Jews, Black Jews (and we're talking both Jews-by-choice and Jews-by-birth), all of them 100% Jewish, but if you looked at them, you'd probably think "you don't look Jewish," probably because a Black guy doesn't have an appearance you'd think of as "typical Jewish" (read: typically Polish/Slavic/Russian Ashkenazic). In fact, there are some 150,000 Ethiopian Jews - it's just that most of them are in Israel. Is my face more Jewish then theirs just because my Mom's family came from places like Russia and the Ukraine?

Jews with curly hair?

... and again you have smoked too much.

Where did you get this information? Did you read a book about the theory of races written by a so-called expert from the 3. Reich???

Stop smoking, dude, and stop smoking!!!

Any good hair cut/style suggestions for curly hair?

layers are your best friend.

I have curly/wavy hair. I make sure to get it cut in long layers so it will fall naturally around your face. Try not to go to short, because depending on your face shape, it could make you look chubby.'

hope this helps. good luck!

Favorite hair products for curly hair?

I have tried so many hair products for my thick, curly hair. None of them ever work for me. Can you recommend me some products? And add a short little review on it. I mostly want mousses and sprays. Thanks %26lt;3

Favorite hair products for curly hair?

BIG SEXY HAIR CURL ACTIVATOR! AMAZING!!! I use it on all my curly clients. i was skeptical at first but when i tried it on a wavy haired client it caused her waves to tighten up into this rockin texture. its not hard or chrunchy, its a mousse spray, you just spray it all over damp hair and its kinda foamy, then comb it through and do a quick scrunch and let it air dry. wicked curls... you can use a diffuser to accellerate the drying, but usually i just let these ladies go with slightly damp hair and it turns out fabulous.

Favorite hair products for curly hair?

I have the same type of hair you have, thick and curly. Lately I have been using Garnier Fructis, it is a leave in conditioner. It leaves my hair shiny, it defines my curls, and gets rid of the frizz. It was about 4 bucks, so not too expensive. You can find it at any drug store, or wherever Garnier Fructis products are sold. It's my favorite.

I hope that helped.
