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!

Help with Curly/ afro hair please?

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!

Kinky Curly Hair?

Kinky Curly Hair?

My son doesn't have the kink but has the sprial curl and to keep it tangle free I use the Matrix Curl Life line. It keeps the curls, detangles, and doesn't dry it out.

Have you tried to wear your hair in twist. Like to two strand twist. on natural hair. You won't have to comb your hair every day so it takes away the daily stress you put on your hair. Leaving it to grow long and healthy.

Kinky Curly Hair?

hum interesting you dont come your hair often yet you have detangles. I wonder why. I need to come your hair everyday not be lazy. Yes suave kids detangler. Brush out your hair with bristle brush then use a comb over the comb hair to get all the tangles out.

Some products do create more of mess instead of improving a hair style that part of washing your hair daily

I have curly hair but it is becoming straight, why?

I have had VERY curly hair since before I was even 1 yr. old. I am 21 yrs. old now. My hair started to relax significantly, only about a month ago. I am not pregnant, nor have I ever been. What type of nutritional deficiencies could cause this? What are other reasons why my hair is going straight?

I have curly hair but it is becoming straight, why?

Hormonal changes are usually the cause of hair changing. Your thyroid could be acting up or you could be going through some physical changes you aren't even aware of. Are you gaining weight? Are you sleepier than normal, or moody? Probably all hormones. If you're concerned, call your doctor, and see if you need an appointment.

I have curly hair but it is becoming straight, why?

Hormonal changes as you get older.

I have curly hair but it is becoming straight, why?

Yes, it could be hormones. My son had perfectly straight hair (like me) until about age 12-13, when he started going through puberty. At that point his hair started getting curly and wavy (like his dad's).

I have curly hair but it is becoming straight, why?

The very same thing happened to me. I used to have curly hair, now it is wavy and a kind of striaght. I mostly blame it on the products in the market. Now, majority of products contain silicone. Silicone straightens hair. Also, my hair is much longer than it was before. That means more gravity and therefore, straighter hair.

I have curly hair but it is becoming straight, why?

Every 7 years your body goes though a change (transformation)

if you are in need of keeping your hair you have to do it now

Begin using NIOXIN NOW! dont use anything else and use the one for beginning stages

bbuy it from a salon not over the counter . The SCALP THerapy

(conditioner is heat sensitive becasue it is one of the only products that is "cold Pressed") when the product seperates its has no beneficial properties

I have curly hair but it is becoming straight, why?

hair goes through a change every 7 years, so being 21 yours is about due

I have curly hair but it is becoming straight, why?

The length of oyur hair might be doing it, the more hair you have the more weight so it relaxes the curl. Or using cheap shampoo and conditioner.

I have curly hair but it is becoming straight, why?

is it longer now than it was when you were younger? the extra weight could pull it down; that's what happens to my hair as it gets longer

I have curly hair but it is becoming straight, why?

boo... lucky you.. i wanted to have my straight hair that i was born with but it turn curly as i get older... very curly... =( if only we could exchange hair.. lol..=)

I have curly hair but it is becoming straight, why?

It could be several things, lenght of your hair, hormones, the products your using at home, and if you bleach your hair at home or in the salon, or if your on a crazy diet. it could be a combo of these things also.

I have curly hair but it is becoming straight, why?

It could be because you wear your hair up a lot. Hair is pretty adaptable.

How do i make my curly hair silky?

im a seventeen year old male..I have curly hair..kinda ...not too curly though ..i want to straighten up my hair without any damage(suggest some herbal methods if possible) and my hair is kinda half long :D so plsss suggest me a kool hair style which wud suit medium sized hair !!

How do i make my curly hair silky?

i use large curlers to "straighten" my slightly curly shoulder length hair. If your adverse to heat, which will damage your hair, use velcro rollers or old soda cans held in place with hair pins as your hair dries.

Use Jojoba Oil to "smooth" your hair. You can get it at a health food store or GNC. put a few drops ( or you'll get greasy hair) on your hand, rub them to warm it and gentle smooth it over your hair to smooth it after you take the rollers out.

I think guys in emo and pop-punk bands have cute long-ish hair. Do an image search and take the pic to your barber.

straighening your hair first and then curling it is always an option, and it is sometimes nice because then you can do different types of curls.

Out of the shower, (i know you said no products) but use a curl enhancing creme and put it in your wet hair. Use a diffuser on your blow dryer and your hands to work your hair's natural curls in to beautiful, bouncy curls.

Good Luck!

How do you curl curly hair?

Use your regular shampoo and conditioner. Special shampoos can damage your hair sometimes. After you get out of the shower, dry your hair. Now, straighten it with a straightener. After that, use a curling iron to curl it. It's kind of annoying and time consuming, but that is how you get the best-looking curls.

How do you curl curly hair?

Pantene makes a really good "curly" line of products that's what I use and my hair has chemically relaxed and I still get really good curls when I use it. I just put it in right when I get out of the shower and scrunch it and it looks really good. Also if you haven't had a trim in a while you might want to consider it because I had the same problem it felt like my curls didn't want to hold and I got my hair trimmed and they looked phenomenal.

How do you curl curly hair?

I have curly hair as well. And I curl it all the time.

If you want a wet look use gel and apply it all over ALL over and then use hairspray and apply ALL over as well it will feel really gross at first but the end result is what I call Crunchy hair It looks really pretty

If you want dry pretty curls Use rollers. It wont always look pretty towards your scalp so I suggest you use a straightening iron to straighten out the top after wards use some type of frizz ease serum

experiment with different stuff and see what ya like! :]

How do you curl curly hair?

Take some of the natural curls that you want tightened up and take a curling iron that has a barrel about the size of your curls (tiny curls = like a 1/2 inch or so barrel, ect) and wrap your curl around the barrel (aka, don't take the barrel to the roots then pull the hair in it straight - just start at the end of the hair).

Hope that made sense and helped!

How do you curl curly hair?

blow dry your hair(doesnt have to be perfectly straight) and then curl it with either hot curlers or a curling iron

How do you curl curly hair?

Ahh it took me forever to learn how to curl my curly hair!

Remember less is more don't use a lot of products in your hair because it weighs it down and gunks it up.

Grab some Bio-silk or Frizz-ease a round brush (choose the size of brush according to the size of curls you want) and a blow dryer. It takes awhile but it makes your curls look awesome and have that CurlyQ look.

Take a section of your hair brush it out, the wrap it around the round brush.

use the blow dryer to just dry that part of your hair.

Once its dry and you unravel it from the brush its soft and bouncy and has a pretty tight curl

After you have your hair all done lightly spray it with a flexible hold hairspray or a glosser of some type to keep the hold and to keep the frizziess away and there ya go.

I hope my answer is not to confusing good luck! It works well for all hair types especially well for thick hair.

How do you curl curly hair?

I am a hairdresser and your question baffles me. First of all if your hair is already curly yet its limping out why not try some product to keep the curl in? Are you opposed to product? Or are you possibly asking how to go about curling your hair into a style instead of letting it take its natural course and be "no style" curls. The question of straightening your hair and then recurling it has me a bit confused as well. If your hair is an unmanagable curl ...why not blow dry it out some and use an iron to style it. Remember, product can protect your hair if you're flat ironing it and product can help curls to have retention if you're using a curling iron or hot rollers. I do hope this helped some.

How do you curl curly hair?

I have super curly hair and this item is what works in 2 mins %26amp; easiest for me....can't live without it. I learned that if I use a hairspray while the curlers are IN...they last longer. Also enables you to go straight the next day....Works if your hair has been dry all day, so either wash night before then curl in the morning.

Curly or straghit hair?????

Why not have both? Get a straightner! I have a friend that has the curliest hair I have ever seen and she straightens her hair sometimes. I loved to watch her straighten her hair, actually, amazed to see how her curls went from curly curly curly to perfectly straight! I bought the same straightener! It's Remington Wet to Straight. It has up to 20 settings on it so you can straighten your hair when it is soaking wet or when its damp or dry. I ABSOLUTELY love it!!! Cuts out the need for a blow dryer. Plus, after I use it, I use a sleek and shine oil to put the oil back in my hiar that the heat took out :)

Curly is good if you don't like puff it out cause then you look like a puff ball. If you want curly use a curling iron. Straight is good also. Straight can get kind of annoying.
