Curly hair tips??

Question

I have naturally curly hair but I feel like I don’t really know how to take care of it or style it properly. I usually end up leaving it down in a middle part most days and I want to try some different things. Do any of you have any hairstyle ideas or tips that you use to keep your curls healthy and defined (especially overnight)?

This is what it looks like most days ^^

Answer

With your curls I would get a short, layered haircut and style it like this 😍😍😍😍😍

Answer

I have really curly hair so I can help you out. When you’re in the shower use a wide toothed comb during conditioning to detangle. Cowashing and deep conditioning are very important! I usually deep condition every 2 weeks. There’s recipes online that you can use at home. 
And I always use the LOC method after washing my hair (leave in conditioner, oil & cream). After that I braid my hair up to go to bed or keep it out for a wash & go style. Your hair will be healthy & moisturized :)

Answer

Layers! Getting a haircut with layers will do wonders for your hair. I use the SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine (I buy it at Walmart) shampoo and conditioner. And I only comb it with a wide tooth comb in the shower while it's sopping wet (it feels ridiculous but it helps a lot). After that I flip my head upside down and squeeze a nickel sized blob of gel into my hands, rub them together and scrunch it up into my curls. I use a t shirt to dry it in the same scrunching fashion. 
The short version: only comb/brush it when it's sopping wet, don't use a regular towel, use products without silicon which will weigh your hair down. 
The best thing you can do is look up "curly girl method" videos on YouTube and find someone who has similar curls to yours and see what they do. You don't have to buy fancy products or anything but there are ingredients to avoid. I don't remember what they all are but most shampoos and styling products that are made for curly hair will be fine to use. 
Good luck! 😊

Answer

Brush it when it's wet. Use a hair brush that won't cause static like a wooden brush. 
If it's still frizzy, you can use oil (like argan oil or just olive oil) to smooth that out.
After detangling using a boar-bristle brush will help distribute your hairs natural oils and make it shiny, and reduce frizz. 
Try to find a shampoo that doesn't strip your hair of oil too. 
You can search about using baking soda and vinegar in place of shampoo and conditioner. 
Or use a real soap (liquid) like castille or African black soap. Most shampoos are actually  detergents that will just strip your hair.
