A Natural Hairstyle


Question Posted Thursday March 6 2014, 11:15 pm

I just went natural and I normally go to a salon to get my hair flat ironed. It's not really helping much because my hair still ends up in a ponytail. So instead I thought of using a product that will let meme west my hair out and curly without being really poofy. If you can name some product names that would be a great help! Thanks!

I went natural and mostly chemical free in the fall of 2010. It's been tough, but my hair has had time to heal and I don't plan on stopping. I strongly suggest checking out the naturallycurly website. They have forums for all different types of hair, product reviews, and a bunch of other stuff in between. Plus, you can find reviews on salons curly hair friendly. Personally, I have loose curls, and I just had it cut in layers so my longest layer is midback. I had to, as my hair was being weighed down by the length (lower back). I use lighter products because my hair gets weighed down easily. I use DevaCurl Light Defining Gel and their Frizz Free Volumizing foam, NOT at the same time. I like the volumizing foam more but it can get a little drying since it's like mousse. I also use AG Recoil for more curls, or JessiCurl's Rockin' Ringlets. Good luck! :)

First of all, make sure your hair is well moisturized to avoid frizz. A moisturizing shampoo and conditioner can make a big difference, as well as deep conditioning twice a week.
I swear by It's A 10- it's a spray in product that makes hair smoother, softer, shinier, and protects against heat. However, it is qiite expensive. Aussie Hair Insurance is a cheaper option.
Aussie Sprunch conditioning mousse is the best curly/wavy hair product I've ever used. It defines without making hair too big or crazy. (If you have extremely kinky curly hair, you may want to use a serum like John Frieda Frizz Ease instead.) For tight curls, Tresemme Curl Defining heat activating spray is great. If you want wavea, L'oreal Txt It is amazing.i also like to sleep with my hair in two loose braids to create waves. Whatever product you use, make sure you start with a small amount and build up.

Not sure where you live but in the UK we have a few straightening shampoos available such as Herbal Essences and Garnier, if you check the different bottles.
