Curly hair tips

How can I get bouncy, soft curls?? what products can I use??

how the mess would I use a straightner??!!

you act as if you're going to straighten your hear except you twist the straightener to wrap your hair around it and then slide down the straightener. they end up being curls, wonderful ones.

wet your hair and braid it.

the smaller and tighter the braids the curlier your hair will be.

don't brush your hair after you braid it, or it'll go boofy!

What I would do is use a real light gel and rub it in your hair while its wet, then blow dry it or let it dry naturally then curl your hair with a good curling iron and every curl you do spray your hair w/ hair spray while its on the curling iron.
if you want tight curls use little amounts of hair for big wavy curls use more hair around the iron.
hope it works.
b/ci know when I had long hair I would use that technique.

start with curl defining shampoo/conditioner
Add some curl product. . .whatever you like is fine (Redken is great, Halo does some great stuff. . .just something that will add hold)
Curl your hair into spirals almost like you're making dreads while it is wet and then dry those using a diffuser (you can also air dry for a diff look). . .scrunch the sections into the diffuser and just hold it onto the area for a while.
Voila. . .curls. . .totally realistic curls with minimal effort.

Also, the straightening iron works. . .get one that is smaller (1 inch) and wind your hair around it then run your hair through it. I'd google for some kind of demonstration. The bigger the surface of the straightener, the bigger the curl. It's also a LOT faster than a curling iron and you won't get those annoying ends.

use leave in conditioner,and products with silicone like samy for curly hair

You need a gold barel curling iron and then you need Ossy or Bed head I find to be the best...then before you clow dry your hair you need to put some hair spray in it and also some moos then wait till the iron is hott then start to curl it should look very good but always curl the top then go the rest down your hair and make sure to seperate the parts dont do it in all one lump sum
