Your Best Curly Hair Style

By Samantha T. Flower

Do you hate your curls or do you love your curls? If you have curly hair, you might always be on the lookout for an amazing curly hair style that you want to copy. The best way you can wear your hair curly is the style that works best for you.

Straight hair is usually easy to manage. You just straighten it out as you want it. If you want to have curly hair, you're going to fall into a lot of trouble. Curly hair is hard to get when your hair is straight. It's hard enough to get it to curl, it's even harder to get the curls to stay.

If you want beautiful curls, you have to get your hair in the best condition possible. You need to use the right shampoo, condition, and styling products. If you constantly dye and fry your hair with a blow dryer and straightener, your hair isn't going to look it's best.

When you dye your hair, you are seriously damaging it. It will cause your hair to be very dry and brittle. If you have naturally curly hair, your hair is already dry and dying it will only make it that much worse. If you can help it, don't dye your hair. If your hair is graying and you would feel more comfortable coloring it, trying to use the most natural and hair-friendly dye.

If you are a serial hair dyer and yet have a beautiful natural color, you need to stop if you ever want to have beautiful curls. If you don't like your natural color, you should really think about it. You were given that color for a reason. That reason is simply because it's the color that looks best on you.

You should also avoid heat at all costs. Blow drying and straightening your hair can really fry your hair and cause it to look and feel like straw. I can always tell when someone really has curly hair but straightens it all the time because their hair looks like frizzy straw. Using heat draws all the necessary moisture out of your hair and cooks it. You will only end up with horrible hair after that.

All of these things you do to your hair are causing it to look bad curly, and you may not want to admit it or even realize it, it makes your hair look bad straight, too. Your best hair style is the one you were naturally born with and your best curly hair style is done with natural, damage-free hair.

Once your hair is damaged, it will never go back to where it was naturally. You have to wait for all new growth to come to get your true hair, but while you wait, and can help the hair you do have. First, throw out all hair dye and straighteners, and only use your blow dryer with a diffuser on cool setting. Condition like there's no tomorrow, add some leave-in conditioner and gel, scrunch it up, and your ready to go! - 16755
