- 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! 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, a leave in cream, 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 sodium laureth sulfate or anything close to that). 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 (cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone are examples). 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 wil disturb the curl pattern (make sure you already have a part). It is also important to use gel on sopping wet hair and scrunch the hair with your fingers. Make sure gel is 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). Then let your hair air dry or wait ten minutes and then use a blowdryer with a diffuser. Do not touch the hair while it is air drying or it will frizz!

- Use a moisturizing conditioner, such as Desert Essence Organics Italian Red Grape Conditioner (found at health food/organic stores). The combo of products that I use daily is L'Oreal Out of Bed Weightless Texturizer (comes in a black-colored tub) and then Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Gel but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites.

- I advise against thinning b/c it will make your ends ratty. Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This may take 2 to 4 weeks to begin working. I suggest doing a final cleanse with shampoo and stopping the use of any products with silicone in them before if you decide to no-poo. Hope this helps!

First you need to start with a great hair cut. A bad stlyist can actually make your hair much worse. second you need to be sure you are moisturizing your hair. You need to make sure you are not washing your hair to often witch can servely damage your hair causeing it to be frizzy, Do not use product that dry your hair. Redken makes a great produt called glass. and has a whole line for curly hair. It rocks. also bumble and bumble is a awsome line that you might want to try out.

I HIGHLY suggest using Bumble and Bumble hair products. They are professionally made, and are great products. These products are a little more expensive than others, but are worth every penny. They also last a really long time if used sparingly. If these products cannot be bought, still follow these steps using different products.

Begin by getting your hair cut/trimmed by a professional stylist. They will also thin it, which will help with a lot of the extra bulk in your locks.

1. Wash hair well with Bumble and Bumble's Curl Conscious Shampoo. Apply a small amount to palms and rub gently onto scalp and hair. Using fingertips massage your scalp and rinse well afterwards.

2. If you are going to use a conditioner, (I recommend using only 2-3 times a week) follow after shampoo. Use Curl Conscious Conditioner for Medium to Thick Hair. Use a small amount and apply to your hair. Do not rub into your scalp. Leave in for 1-2 minutes and rinse with cool water. Rinsing with cool water will allow most of the nutrients to be absorbed and not washed away.

3. If you are styling your hair curly, scrunch dry and apply Curl Conscious Styling cr鐚玬e. You can also add any of their mousse/hairspray to add firm hold. Leaning over and letting your hair fall upside down, scrunch your hair upwards towards the top of your head using your fingertips, while blow-drying.

If you are styling your hair straight, follow steps one and two, but using a different shampoo/conditioner. Any of the Bumble and Bumble ones are great.

1. Apply a small amount of Bumble and Bumble 閳ユソtraight閳?onto palms of hands, and work through damp hair.

2. Blow-dry with your fingertips until mostly dry, and then finish by using a round or paddle brush. Because your hair is so thick, I would recommend doing it in sections.

3. Using a flat iron (I strongly recommend a CHI.) straighten your hair in small sections, combing/brushing through as you go.

If desired, you can add a finishing touch by using the Bumble and Bumble Defrizz. This is a great tool for those extra hairs that never seem to stay down! =)

I hope these tips help. I wrote them myself, but the products can be bought at www.bumbleandbumble.com I know it can be a pain to have to spend extra money on hair products, but they really do work, and it閳ユ獨 really worth it. I can promise you閳ユ獟l be happy. If you cannot purchase these products, don閳ユ獩 stress, just follow the same steps I gave, just using different products. (these are just my favorites) I wish you the best of luck閳ヮ泧nd if you need any more help, tips, or advice on products, let me know!
