Long Red Curly Hair.....!?

My hair is long and curly. I'm kind of sick of always doing the same things. (1) combing through when wet, add a bit of mousse/gel and let dry naturally, (2) tying it in a high ponytail with a handful of hair left hnaging there on the right side (i part my hair a bit to the left. What else can I do...? I might trim it a bit to get even more curls (not that i don't have enough already.. ;D ) but i'm not rreally sure I want to colour it either because I get so many compliments on the naturel red already. Any tips??

Yeah, don't dye it. You're color sounds real pretty. I have curly hair also, and I do get sick of the same hair do always. When that happens I take my straightener and straighten it. I can then wear it down and it multiple different ways and it's not as bothersome as curly can be. And I only wash it like every 4 days so my hair stays straight till I wash it again, and that isn't so damaging.

i LOVE LOVE LOVE natural red hair there is NO WAY you could look better if u color it!!!! but my hair is curly too and i straighten my hair so it isnt as curly or just leave it down like you naturally would and you can ask you hair dresser/stylist for ways to do it differently

I have long curly red hair too, and i use moose every day. I got my hair layered and that really brings out my curls. Just be sure to not get it cut too short or it will give you a fro!!

good luck!

I have the same problem. But I remedy it by layering some of the top and sides. Not like cheezy 80's feathered hair, more like Jessica Simpson. I like to mix it up a bit. It looks nice when you put some Rusk smoother in it, then a moose or gel and then John Frieda "Shine Shock leave in glosser" then let it air dry your hair will sit better no matter where you part it. Next day I take my curling iron, not a flat iron, and straighten around the roots, pull straight down and curl back up on itself about half way up the length of your hair. And it is time consuming, I curl all of my hair piece by piece but believe me the look is so sexy and soft that you will have compliments no matter who you talk to. Now as far as your color is concerned, I am not an advocate to dying your hair, but sometimes it is necessary. So depending on your skin tone, if you are fair skinned, I would recommend some lighter red highlights. If you are medium skinned you can pull off some low lights with a darker red or even a medium brown. If you are olive complected or darker, I recommend bringing in a light blonde to accentuate your face.

I can feel you here because my hair is also red and naturally curly and comes down to my rump. What I do is try different parts--zigzags, whatever. I also alternate between blow drying my hair straight or creating waves. Sometimes an up sweep hairdo is lovely also. Whatever you do, don't start coloring until you've got some grey. If you want strawberry highlights that's okay but nothing major and always have it done professionally. We redheads have unpredictable color sometimes--we don't have the same results as blondes and brunettes with over the counter hair color.

Now if you want to dry your hair straight use the cool setting. When your hair is 80% dry (it looks dry but feels damp) start using a paddle brush while you blow dry to make it straight. Use a product like Biolage gelee to make it "set". Make sure to point the nozzle down on your hair instead of sideways or you'll create frizz. Finish with Redken Glass and a very light mist of Biolage hairspray for shine and hold. To achieve wavy hair, do the same but instead of using a paddle brush you can scrunch your hair with your fingertips OR fall asleep with your hair loosely braided for lovely summer locks.
