Do not use a brush on curly hair. Instead use your fingers to untangle your hair. The plastic comb is to be avoided. Use a wide-toothed comb. The curls must be softly de-tangled with an appropriate brush. The curly hair can tend be frizzy and look like a bush on a bad hair day. The morning curls are almost scary.

hair everyday. IT makes the hair drier. Shampoo it every other day. Do not use towel to dry your hair, use your hand to squeeze out the water of your hair. Curly hair tends to be dryer than normal straight hair. IF your curls are dry and frizzy apply a dime sized anti-frizz serum on your hair and then blow dry with a diffuser. Always keep a diffuser attached to your blow dryer. Also, do not forget to deep condition your hair once every week.

The harsh hair gels and hair sprays must be avoided for the curls might loose their charm. While blow drying, one must take care of the curls or they end up being rough, fizzy and almost unmanageable. The curls have to be protected and hence before sleeping one must ensure that it does not get tangled by the rise of the sun. The curls have to be naturally natural and have to be maintained and conditioned well. But usage of harsh shampoos and harmful ammonia-based products might give trouble to the curls. To enhance the texture and shine of the curls herbal oils and mild shampoos may be used with good conditioners.

Some women constantly crib about their curls and try to change it by straightening them. It is a very bad idea to frequently straighten the curls as it damages the hair and hair breaks off easily. As soon as the curls are washed, the required softening products might be applied to keep it shiny and glowing. In all good hair is a way to look ravishingly beautiful.

  4. Great article. Love the gentle tone taken here. I have wavy, curly, frizzy hair. I would even suggest not using a shampoo at all. But instead using a ‘conditioning cleaser’ on your hair twice a week. I’ve been doing this for 16 months now and it’s sooo much kinder to your hair.

  5. Sorry – should have said ‘conditioning cleanser’. Try to look for products with botanicals in them. No parafins, silicons, waxes, or alcohol. Makes your hair even drier in the long run.

  6. I use gel with simple rollers…but the effect is not so good…they dont stay for even 2 hours.
    please name some products to be used with rollers.
    thanks
