Once again curly hair problem? *Try clipping the roots of your hair with claw or butterlfy clips as such after you have put gel in your hair and scrunched.

Also try scrunching your hair upside down to give you more volume at the roots and crown.
*Read the book and visit the sites below about curly hair. I did and my once horrible curly hair is now well defined and healthy. Now I get compliments on my hair all the time! Straighten your hair- be happy for a day, learn to manage your curly hair- be happy for life! But if this is completely uninteresting to you, disregard.
*To style your hair using the curly-girl method you will need gel, a leave in, and conditioner at the minimum. Some less useful, but still nice stuff would be a blow dryer, a diffuser (reduces frizz in curly/wavy hair when used with dryer), and a micro fiber hair turban/old t-shirts (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 unhygienic 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 (avoid these- ingredients will end in -xane, -conol, or -cone). 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 with cold/cool water.
*Do not brush/comb your hair after this point because it will disturb the curl pattern (make sure you already have a part preferably to one side). It is also important to use gel on sopping wet hair and scrunch the hair with your fingers. Make sure gel is evenly distributed everywhere in your hair. If you use too much you can always scrunch out the crunchy texture later.
*Use paper towels or an old t-shirt to gently scrunch some of the water out (generic towels can make hair frizz). You can either let your hair air dry or wait ten minutes and then use a blowdryer with a diffuser. Dry until your hair is almost dry, and then air-dry the last bit. Do not touch the hair while it is air-drying or it will frizz!
*Use a cheap, silicone free conditioner to scrub your scalp such as Suave Naturals or Vo5. Use a moisturizing conditioner, such as Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner (salon) or Nature's Gate\Desert Essences conditioners (health food stores) for your hair. I recommend using a gel (LA Looks, Herbal Essences, La Bella) over a leave in (L閳ユ┉real Out of Bed Instant Texturizer). Experiment with whatever products you wish, but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites.
*You may be able to get away with some silicones (such as amodimethicone) if you clarify with a sulfate free shampoo. Try Devacurl no-poo (salon) or Cream of Nature (drug store). Feel free to find your own but always check the ingredients for sodium/ammonium lauryl/laureth sulfate.
*Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This takes 2 to 4 weeks begin working. Before you decide to quit shampoo, do a final cleanse with shampoo and stop the use of any products with silicones in them. This is hard to do if you don't read the book, or at least visit the websites. Naturally curly hair can be beautiful! I hope you consider this- email me if you have any questions!

Once again curly hair problem? try a light leave in conditioner and john freedas shampoo conditioner and finishing products
Once again curly hair problem? i have natural curls too.%26amp;it can sometimes be a bad thing.also you did not state you hair length,because from my experience,
shorter hair curls a whole lot,looking frizzy after a while.
medium length hair just look frizzy
long hair is when i get the curls.
well,if you want you roots to get curly too,get a curler,like those "traditional" ones where you leave it into your hair for like an hour or so,den apply hair spray or LOREAL curl spray (forgot the name,a pink bottle)so it will last.
it is quite troublesome,but it is worth it cos when you are done,the curls are just to die for.soft%26amp;bouncy
Once again curly hair problem? My hairs naturally curly, too stop it going frizzy i use
"Toni and guy tame it serum" it's about 鎷?, you can get it from boots and it lasts ages!
It makes it smooth and doesnt leave it frizzy, it's really good, i dont know what i'd do without it!
Once again curly hair problem? I also have naturally curly hair. I finally found a good stylist to help give me a cut for my type of curl and products that work for me.(She also cut my daughter's hair, which is curly, and did it just right for her also). I found her on a website called naturallycurly.com and looked for stylists in my town.
Good luck to you. This website led me to a great place and I actually like my curls now!
Once again curly hair problem? I have naturally curly hair too, so I know what your going through.
The absolute best product I've found so far is Potion 9 by Sebastian. It's not cheap, but a little goes a long way. and it's actually a conditioner - so it's good for your hair. Apply it to damp hair and evenly distribute. Twirl your hair in a corkscrew shape in 1 inch sections. Air-dry, or use a dryer with diffuser on low heat. when hair is totally dry separate any curls you think look too big.
viola!
If you can't find Potion 9 LeOreal Studio Effects Melting Gel is also good and is like $3-4 a tube.
also -- curly hair is usually dry hair, so try not to shampoo your hair every day. I try to wash mine only every 3 days, it makes a big difference. My stylist (my best friend) says that Pantene actually dries out the hair more. It feels great while your using it, but once you stop it gets all dry.
**Hi again, I just read that your hair is down to your waist -- that may be too long/too heavy for it to curl at the roots. try cutting a couple inches off... but make sure your stylist knows about curly hair... I've had a few nightmare haircuts by people who underestimated the bounce-factor!!
good luck!
