Find a stylist who works with your type of hair. Avoid washing your hair every day. Pick a hydrating conditioner and let it soak in. Comb your hair when it's wet. Put styling products on when your hair is still wet. Try out different products to see what's best for you. Remind yourself that straightening products and heat can cause damage. Wait patiently for your curls to grow out after a chemical relaxer.
Some stylists just don't know how to cut curly hair, and it can be disastrous. A good stylist can help you find the perfect cut for your hair! Don't forget to bring in celebrity photos to give your stylist an idea of what you'd like. If you don't have a good stylist, ask someone you know with a good haircut who has a similar hair type. They'll likely love to give you a stylist recommendation! You may think you need to wash your hair every day, but with curly hair, it's really better to wash it every other day or even less. Washing it too often will dry it out, and curly hair is already prone to dryness. You may only need to wash your hair once a week, even. Conditioners are particularly important for curly hair, as it tends to be drier. Opt for a natural conditioner without silicones or sulfates. Look for one made specifically for curly hair, and when you apply it in the shower, leave it in for at least 2-3 minutes before washing it out. A leave-in conditioner is also a good option, as it gives the conditioner a chance to hydrate your hair. Curly hair doesn't take well to detangling when it's dry, unless you have very fine wavy hair. Otherwise, you're just going to turn your hair into a tangled mess if you try to brush it when it's dry. Wait until your hair is clean, then use a wide-tooth comb to de-tangle it. Rub a dollop of the product into your palms and flip your hair upside down. Then, run your hands through your hair to apply it. Scrunch the ends of your hair to help encourage your curls. For most curly hair types, it's best to apply product to hair that is at least damp. In fact, for curls (rather than waves), using products on sopping wet hair is even better. It helps define your curls and keep the frizz at bay. While you can get recommendations for your hair type, no 2 heads of hair are the same. So even if someone you know raves about a product, it may not be the best one for you. Don't be afraid to switch things up to see what works.  Start with recommendations from friends or family and go from there. Avoid products with silicones, sulfates, and parabens, which can coat your hair and block it from getting the moisture it needs.  Natural products work well. For instance, try aloe vera gel as hair gel or flaxseed hair gel. Over time, continually trying to straighten your curly hair can lead to dry and weakened hair. By going with your natural hair, you can take care of it better, which will lead to happier, healthier hair. For instance, flatirons and blowdryers tend to dry out curly hair and lead to frizziness. Chemical relaxers are even worse because they are so strong. If you used chemical relaxers most of your life, it will take time for your curls to come in. It can be hard to wait because you'll go through an awkward phase of half-straight and half-curly hair. If you can wait it out, though, you'll be rewarded with fun and full curls. To help yourself through this awkward phase, try updos, braids, and buns. Conditioning treatments can help, too.
