I have naturally curly hair. I don't want it straight or moussed, just wavy. Any suggestions?

My hair literally expands like a pyramid when it's dry. I've tried almost all the products out there, and nothing has worked for my hair. Just straightening my hair takes about 3 hours (too long!!!) and I just want it to be wavy and something that I can comb through, not curly and moussed. Suggestions, anyone?

- Read the book and visit the sites below about curly hair. I did and my once horrible curly hair is now virtually frizz-free ringlets. Now I get compliments on my hair all the time! Why don't you accept your hair as curly? Straighten your hair- be happy for a day, learn to manage your curly hair- be happy for life!

- To style your hair using the curly-girl method you will need gel and conditioner at the minimum. Some less useful, but still nice stuff would be a blowdryer, a diffuser (reduces frizz in curly/wavy hair when used with dryer), and a microfiber hair turban (to dry wet hair while sleeping or in the morning).

-The main philosophy of the curly-girl method is to not use shampoo. This may sound unhygenic but it has actually made my hair less oily and dandruffy. Most shampoos contain some of the same chemicals found in laundry detergent (aka sulfates). They dry out curly hair. Also you shouldn't brush your curly hair dry because it damages the hair and makes it poof.

- Massaging of the scalp with conditioner to remove dirt is all that is needed. It will clean everything but super clingy silicones (read more about this at one of the websites) . Then rinse and spread conditioner on the outside layer of hair and the hair at the nape of your neck. Gently comb tangles out with your fingers or a wide toothed comb and rinse. It is also important to use gel on sopping wet hair and scrunch the hair. Then let your hair air dry or use a blowdryer with a diffuser.

- Use a moisturizing conditioner, such as Aussie Moist Conditioner. The combo of products that I use daily is Garnier Fuctis Sleek and Shine Leave In Cream, Tressemme Clean Hold Gel, and Aussie Tizz No Frizz Gel, but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites.

- Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This takes 2 to 4 weeks begin working.This is hard to do if you don't read the book, or at least visit the websites. Naturally curly hair can be beautiful! Hope this helps!

Try braiding it while its still wet and letting it down when dry. I think this will work.

i have almost the same problem!! when you wash it use the matrix shampoo and conditioner (it smell really good and gets rid of virtually all frizz!) and then when you get outta the shower french braid it and sleep on it like that. in the morning take it out and it will be REALLY WAVY, yet smooth and tangle free! good luck!!

I have naturally curly hair too, what i do is wash and while it is still wet french braid it and sleep on it. In the morning when you wake up it should be really wavy. It works for me.

I have the same problem also and i agree with braiding your hair and going to sleep on it, that works really well. Or you could try getting a hair product with sea salt in it (john freida makes one) and you put a frizz ease in your hair than use the sea salt product and it works good, but i think it also depends on how curly your hair is, but you could try it out, it worked for me.

I have naturally curly hair too and what I do after I shampoo and condition is, while my hair is still wet, I put some Softee hair food or some sort of leave in conditioner. I either French braid it or a simple braid until it dries. It comes out wavy, shiny, and smooth. I use a comb and braid it every night so in the morning I just brush and go.
