Taming curly hair is no arduous task

Surprisingly, the texture of most curly hair is fine, not coarse as many people think. But there is usually a lot of hair, so any type of product buildup or any type of dryness makes it difficult to control, leading to a bad case of the frizzles.

Getting curly hair to behave begins in the shower. You should wash your hair every other day, preferably with a moisturizing shampoo, and always follow up with conditioner. On the off day, simply wet your hair and condition it. This will allow you to have more control over the curl and prevent your hair from drying out. And you should only comb your hair when it`s wet - never comb it when it`s dry and never, ever brush your curls.

Take care while you dry your hair

Certain products are also important when it comes to taming your waves. Look for a gel that contains guar gum, an ingredient that gives you more control over styling and banishes frizzles. Silicone-based products have become very popular over the last few years, but they should be used sparingly - they`re very difficult to wash out and consequently can build up and cause the hair to lose its lustre. When it comes to blow-drying, the less disturbance the better. Always use a diffuser attached to the blow-dryer`s nozzle. This will prevent the airflow from disturbing the curls` shape. Never dry your hair completely. Instead, leave it slightly damp and let it finish air-drying on its own. Over-drying will only create frizz, and then the only option will be to start over again. Colouring and highlighting give ringlets a glamorous look If you prefer to let your hair dry naturally, towel-dry it lightly to remove excess moisture and apply a styling gel. Then, taking two-inch sections of hair, twist the curls around your finger so they look like little dreadlocks. Repeat this on your entire head. When your hair is dry, flip your head upside down and tousle the curls with your fingers to soften them up.
