More Hair Tips For Curly Hair

As Leah Siebold stepped into the shower, she knew what was at stake. A life long seeker of hair tips for curly hair she knew that curly hair and cool and easy hair styles did not necessarily match up exactly.

Still short curly hair styles are popular. Coveted even. And don't be rolling your eyes. It's true. So what do you need to do to look your best?

"Look," she said determinedly, "more than half the women in this country fight to keep their natural curls sleek looking and frizzy-free. Using everything from blow dryers, to flat irons or even resorting to better hair through chemistry. It's like the curse of the curly haired. But hey. We've all got our cross to bear right?"

"To top that off, more than 75% of us curly tops are dealing with hair that is baby fine. So besides friz, straw like dryness, the curly headed among us have to be prepared to deal with limpness." "

"Some days I go with a shampoo that's specifically designed to eliminate frizz," Siebold explained.

"Yet since the curls inhibit the flow of scalp oils I shampoo once every 14 days with an intensely hydrating cleanser. This helps deal with the tendency of curly hair to be dry."

"If I blow dry, I tilt my head to each side using a diffuser attachment. Drying from the roots to the ends. Trying to avoid blowing too much hot air on those finicky ends or else I'll have a fried hair day."

"Yeah," Leah went on with a sigh, "dryness can be a problem at times if you're going with short hairstyles for curly hair. That's why I try to wash my hair only every two or three days at most. And use a protein rich conditioner, some of which I leave in. In an attempt to get some softness?"

"Yet most days, to protect against humidity, I do spritz my hair with a non aerosol, flexible hair spray."

Still, whether your hair has gone wild or flat, we promise you can get it under control.

Seven Things You May Or May Not Know

What curly head hasn't experienced uncontrolled frizz? Tell me about it! But did you know control begins in the shower? Where you need three things to get on top of the frizzies - the right shampoo, conditioner and a wide tooth comb. Do this right and there's no reason curly hair can't look as soft and touchable as any other type.

This explains a bit of good advice. Leave in treatments help by cutting down on the overall volume refining the actual shape of your curls.

Even if you have naturally curly hair, why not use rollers to get to-die-for curls? Just be sure to use the right ones for job. You see, the size of the roller determines the tightness of the curl. For soft loose curls go with velcro rollers. But those smaller flexible curlers produce much tighter ones.

Then too many curly heads resort to mousse. Bad move as styling products go. Mousse adds, not diminishes, volume. Plus your curls can be left feeling rather crispy. Instead go with a curl activator to define and smooth.

If you know anything about curly hair you know blow drying should be avoided. But if you must, or are in a time crunch, use a diffuser and cold air if you want to avoid the dreaded "frizzy effect".

Over all curly heads need extra attention. Not to mention extra care. For best results you need to focus on using products that either add, or help your hair retain, moisture.

To that end don't be afraid to ask for help from your salon stylist. Only you can care for your hair at home. And if you don't know what products to use, and how to use them, how can you do that?

Hopefully if you've got your eye set on some sexy, cute or trendy haircuts for this summer, these styling ideas and hair tips for curly hair have helped.
