I want curly hair !?
How can achieve the curly hair i want? My hair is naturaly wavy but has started becoming dull & straight from past straighteners i used. Geling my hair is completely out of the question (i think it makes hair look oily, messy, and just all around gross)! I tired a variety of mousses and shampoos but nothing seems to work! The only way i can "kind of" get my hair to look curly is if i sleep with braids (but that isn't the look i'm going for). So please help me, is there anyway i can get my hair to look nice, full, thick, and cury/wavy without it getting tangly and knotty! I don't have enough time to sit there and actually curl my hair with a curling iron but it you have a good iron to suggest please tell me or even other shampoos, conditioners, & secret tips! Thank-you so much :]

SCRUNCH IT!
wavy hair looks so cute when it's scrunched. everytime i do it, i get at least ten different people come up to me saying, "Wow, I LOVE your hair! hah, how'd you get it like that?!?"
then the next day, when i come back to school, I see like five girls who have attempted to scrunch their hair like i had mine. well, let's just say it didn't work to well. haha.
i use John Frieda. =]
first, use the Curl Around shampoo.
second, use the Curl Around conditioner. (Leave it on for ONE minute.)
DO NOT BUY THE HAIR SERUM! unless of course, you want incredibly greasy & weighed down hair. =]
third, squeeze some of the water out by with just your hands.
fourth, wrap your hair around in a towel (DON'T RUB YOUR HAIR WITH IT!) until it is damp & not dripping wet and comb your hair (DON'T WORRY IF YOUR PART ISN'T PERFECT!).
fifth, spray some time of hair spray in your hair from middle ways to the ends (DON'T SPRAY IT ON THE TOP PART OR IT WILL LOOK GREASY!). i would suggest Dove Extra Hold.
sixth, turn your head upside down & flip your hair over. put the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Corrective Styling Mousse in your hands & run it together. once again, don't put it where your roots are unless you want your hair to be weighed down & greasy.
seventh, run your fingers through your hair so that the mousse is distributed pretty even around all of your hair (except the roots).
eighth, pick up a small handfull of hair and push it up towards your head. hold it there for a few seconds.
ninth, continue scrunching (pushing your hair up towards your head) & blow dry your hair with the heat setting on low or medium (it's better to be on low). When it's on high, it can damage your hair overtime & medium can do it sometimes also. just to be safe, put it on low.
tenth, look in the mirror. someone's gonna have hair that'll make everyone jealous. hmm, i wonder who that could be?

I would also suggest going to get a deep conditioning treatment, etc, etc.
But if you don't want to go to a salon then I would use Mane 'n Tail "Deep Moisturizing Conditioner."
To get curls:
LaCoupe "Perfect Curls Frizz-free Smoothing Mousse"
-Scrunch and leave to airdry or blowdry.
Or
John Frieda "Frizz-Ease Hair Serum Step 3"
-You can use this with the other products by John Frieda or alone.
-Again, Scrunch hair and leave to airdry or blowdry.
To get more of a wavy look:
John Frieda "Beach Blonde - Ocean Waves"
-Spray on hair and then twist into ropes.
-It smells good too!
Oh, and as the person said before, DO NOT BRUSH YOUR HAIR AFTER YOU SHOWER!

My suggestion? Make yourself an appointment at a salon to get the best deep conditioning treatment they have going. The straighteners have damaged your hair from repeated use. You need to get the heath back into your hair. It's too dry and/or over processed. Mine gets the same way.

This is how I do mine, and it works great-
Brush your hair before you get in the shower. Wash your hair like normal, but after you get out of the shower, don't brush your hair, because the brush will take out natural clumpiness. Then, Take just a little mousse or some kind of curling product, and scrunch your hair. Flip your head over, and scrunch while upside down. When you get it scrunched to where you like it, stop. Then, whichever works best for you, you can dry your hair with a blow dryer with a diffuser on it (The diffuser is important!), let it air dry, or sleep on it. Sleeping on it may not work for you, so try it on the weekend when you don't have school or work. I guess the main tip is don't brush your hair after you get out of the shower.
If you have any more questions, let me know! =)

Have you thought of a permanent wave? The spiral perms can look really nice.
