How to Take Care of Your Curls in Daily Life

Posted by Kmm, Jan 5th, 2009

When the hair is wet, put a soft hold gel on your hair, tie it in a bun and let it air dry over night.

Then, after your hair is dry (in the morning), take some pomade (or heavy styling / finishing product) and run it through your hair with your fingers. (If you rub your hands together and create some oil in your hands - it will help also)

Then it will give you relaxed, non frizzy hair. Actually (and this probably goes against everything you've ever heard about your curly hair), when your hair is dry, after rubbing your hands together to create some oil, pull on your hair for 5 or 10 minutes and it will really relax the curl. The oil really helps and after a couple of minutes it won't be frizzy.

Also, don't wash your hair every day. Just wrap it again at night and re-style (add a little more product if needed) and you'll be all set.

One other suggestion would be to wrap it in velcro / regular rollers and let it dry on the rollers over night. Not really the sexiest thing if you have a boyfriend / girlfriend though.
