How can i get my hair curly without the POOF?

my hair is naturally curly, so i mean its really no problem using a curling iron ( not that i even know HOW. ) but when it comes to managing it im out of luck. it always poofs up, and when i put frizzy stuff on it, it gets really oily. also, when i brush my hair, all the curls come out. should i just learn to use a curling iron? Help please! =)

I, too, have curly hair, and used to encounter the same problems you described. Here is what works for me:

1.) I wash my hair every other day to help my hair maintain its natural balance of oils.

2.) Deep condition once a week (anything without alcohol is best, since alcohol will dry out your hair, causing more frizz).

3.) I use a curling cream and mousse to style my hair. First, I apply the cream with my head upside down (I use Catwalk's "Curls Rock"), then scrunch Garnier's curling mousse into my hair. Then, I flip my head back over, part it to the side, and apply a little more mousse for some definition (especially around the face). The extra mousse helps when it comes to frizz, since it holds the curls.

4.) Let hair air-dry.

5.) Don't brush, comb, or touch your hair once it's styled. Touching it and/or brushing causes more frizz.

That's pretty much it for my routine. Oh, and if you get long layers put into your hair, it will help define the curls more. Just make sure the first layer isn't shorter than your chin, or else you'll end up looking like a poodle. :/ I hope this helps, and good luck! :)

definitely use a curling iron!

if you straighten your hair nice and smooth

put a dime- sized amount of styling gel (or even regular body lotion!),

rub it on your hands and smooth it into your hair,

wrap your hair around the inside of the curing iron and curl all of your ends, it will look so good!

i have extremely poofy/frizzy/thick/wavy hair, and my hair always looks good when i do this.

Use a good gel and a serum. Buy a blow dryer with a diffuser. Don't brush it and if it is getting oily you need to shampoo it more often with a moisturizing product.

i want to know that same question,but my advice to you is to just brush your hair before you wash it, and then comb it with the conditioner in it in the shower. use a wide-tooth comb. when you get out, don't brush it, that makes it very frizzy. wrap it in a towel for about 5-10 minutes. i find mousse on it works the best, but it weighs it down. so buy a banana clip, and put it on to give your hair volume while it is air drying. don't wear it all day though, it will look funny. try to find out how to put on on though, because it takes some practice. and don't touch your hair too much, it will make it frizzier.

I used to have that same problem, what I do as weird as it sounds, works for me, here goes: I wash my hair with cold water only, and dont wash it EVERY single day, it damages the hair and removes the oils and other things that your hair has naturally; untangle it while its wet, if its done while still in the shower even better. If your going to tie your hair, I'd suggest in a "bun"(? Im not sure how is called in english x__x) or a braid, but dont braid it often, it splits the ends, or any other style that keeps the whole hair tight. You can leave it loose, but try not to give it too much motion,dont go spinning your head around or anything, let it dry on its own, in the shape when its loose, so it stays that way.

Also tempature really works, I lived in a hot, tropical climate and it would always be poofy, but then I moved to a cooler one, with AC and I noticed it wouldnt go poof on me anymore.

And of course, DONT brush it when dry, or you'll loose the curls :)
