my hole life i have had curly curly CURLY hair! i tryed everything until i learned to DO NOT brush my hair. It frizzis and destroys curls along with splitting ends. I also thought if i just kept my hair short it would go away but instead with no weight of curls on my head, my hair would just poof! So when it got longer, it weighed down. well when im in the shower i use my fingers and stream it through my hair WITHOUT useing shampoo, most shampoos strip and dry hair. But only most. Try to use naturaul products like mousse anything light and even what works to is braiding your hair at night and sleeping with it in! Any other tips post!
Curly hair is not bad - it needs to be managed like anything else in life. Have had the same thing with mine. Now I do not brush - I comb it. Shampoo is needed to keep the oil or dryness down. Washing your scalp is more important than just using streams of water.
Might also see a hairstylist to have your hair layered. This is a process that will help eliminate poof that occurs when its super curly. That is the layer underneath will be trimmed back to keep it from ballooning out.
To tame a curly mess I sometimes put water on my fingers and comb the offending ends into submission.
Carol's Daughter makes GREAT products for curls, from cleansing, conditioning, styling. Great stuff for straight hair too, but I know curly girls love her stuff and I do for sure!
my solution on 3 different occasions was the GI Jane look. Now I wear it longer and whenever I wash I blow dry and straighten
I have had curly hair my whole life also, and I have learned a few tricks over the years.
1. At the most, I only wash my hair every other day.
2. CONDITION, CONDITION AND CONDITION some more. I use twice as much conditioner as I do shampoo. When I rince it out in the shower, I also comb it out with a wide tooth comb.
3. NO MOUSE!!! Get a curl cream and use hair serum.
4. If you can, let it dry naturally, and if you must use a diffuser.
5. If you slept on your curls and they look a little flat, you can give them that bouce back by just spraying it with a little water in the morning.
Here, you can get a look at how curly my hair is.

Beautiful curls that many pay big $$$ for. I work with a lady whose hair is the same. Love, love, love it!
I could use some tips, too.
My 4 year old daughter has long curly hair and I'm not sure what to do with it.
I've tried so many products and nothing has really helped yet to combat her frizz.
I've done the whole just using conditioner in the bath but it seems to leave her hair lifeless.
i'm at a loss. Her hair is so pretty but so frizzy.

I tried that on my daughter's hair. (a leave in conditioner) and it left a sticky film on her hair. It was awful and so expensive,too! ugh. : /
with that line, a LITTLE goes a LONG way. Did you return it? What product was it?

Yes, I didn't over use. I can't remember now what the specific name was. I believe it was the hair milk. It was a leave in conditioner, though, I do remember that. I gave it to friend who has a daughter with mixed hair texture because maybe it would work better for her. She told me the same thing, it left her hair with a sticky film, too. So, IDK.
