By the sounds of it you need to MOISTURISE, MOISTURISE, MOISTURISE!

I have the same problem, except my hair isn't curly, more like dry and stiff.

Anyway, If you want to go fully into treating your own hair and not going to a hair stylist/consultant, which can be way spendy, I suggest the following.

Find a really, really good shampoo and conditioner. For your type of hair you can use store bought stuff like Garnier, Pantene, Tresomme, Mane %26amp; Tail.

If you have access to a beauty shop in your area, a large one, there is a brand of shampoo and conditioner call Prosperity. This stuff is so ultra-smooth and silk........if I could find it where I live I'd use it all the time.

Secondly, after you have washed your hair, you should leave the conditioner in your hair for awhile. There are a lot of leave in conditioners on the market, so choose the kind that is particularly for dry frizzy hair or for curly hair. Rinse it out and you should let it air dry....No blow dry. I'd say keep a comb pick with to detangle any curls you have that are super knotty and do this while your hair is still wet.

If you go and get your split ends cut, do it when your hair is mostly dry. That way you don't risk the chance of cutting off more than you want. Wet curly hair can be deceptive when you pull and cut it. It bounces back.

Throughout the week you should rub cream moisturizer into your curls. This keeps your hair moist and springy. To attain the kind of Afro that stands up, all you need is hair spray.....A LIGHT HAIR SPRAY. Nothing that contains a lot of alcohol because that will dry out your hair. To make it shiny, you can use oil sheen.

This may sound like a lot to do, but you got the kind a hair that you have to work with in order to attain a certain look. If you don't want to go through all of that, then the next suggestion is to dred it. I bet it would look awesome dredded and it super low maintenance.

Good Luck!

Start with a good hair cut, layers for your type of hair! Then maintain about every 6 weeks cut it again. After shampooing, apply a conditioner and rinse with cool water. Towel dry and apply about a nickel size gob of "Humectress" (leave in conditioner) with a couple drops of "frizz-ease" serum mixed into it. (Rub it onto your palms and smooth through out your hair.) For better curl definition, Apply Loreal curl definer by scrunching starting at ends of hair and working to the scalp.Works best when head is upside down while scrunching. That ought to do the trick!
