This is what I do to make my curly hair look nice.
1. I shampoo and condition my hair.
I like to give my curls one last cool rinse before styling before coming out of the showers.
2. Once in every 2 weeks, I like to do `Whattacurl wants` from the Curly girl book. I suggest that you don`t use this recipe every single day, trust me...it makes your hair feel a bit weird. Just use it once in awhile. (See below for recipe)
Whattacurl Wants
The baking soda will remove heavy product buildup and leave your hair feeling shiny and clean.
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 cup warm water
1. Combine above ingredients in a spray bottle and shake.
2.Wet, condition, and blot-dry hair as usual
3. Spray with mixture
4. Allow to sit for a minute or so, then rinse with cool water.
5.Blot dry again, style as usual.
3. After I get out of shower, I take tiny drop of my conditioner and I run through my hair with it or I scrunch my hair with it. (Yes I know, it sounds a bit disgusting but it really helps me to get rid of my frizzies without using tons of products)
I also like to mix olive oil or some kind of nut oil with my favourite perfume and spray my hair with it.
4. I then take any gel(tiny drop) and scrunch my hair with it... sideways...looking down...always from the end toward the scalp.
5. I also then take any gel(tiny drop), graze my hands over the top layer of hair. (It really minimizes frizz)
6. I then just air-dry my hair.(Leave it alone)
7. I fluff my hair from beneath before it dries 100%
If I dont feel like taking shower ...I just spray my hair with a spray bottle filled with water. I then just use tiny bit of conditioner and gel to style my hair.
Well hope this helps!
