I have really retarted hair! help!?

ok. well, my hair is wavy/ curly. some areas are really curly and other areas are straights.


the sides of my hair are curly and soft, and the back of my hair is straight and rough. the ends of my hair are straight while most of my hair is either wavy or curly. the only time when my hair is nice is when i straighten it, which is super damaging to do all the time. and its also nice when my hair is at the length of my shoulders. now its like a little passed my boob. and i really want to make my hair long. and healthy. which it used to be until i was like 10... how do i have really nice smooth curls without a perm or anything like that. please please help.


ur help will be greatly appreciated!

Go to a salon and get curls rock hair products, and set an appointment and tell the stylist what you want and let her show you how to get the curls. I have really curly hair and use the products and a diffusor on my blow dryer....

Use a leave in conditioner after washing your hair, comb it out, and squeeze the excess water from your hair, DO NOT RUB IT. After that use a curling spray i.e. tigi bedhead curling spray, (it comes in a clear yellow spray bottle) spray it all over your hair. Get a diffuser, put it on the end of your blow dryer, set it to warm low, and bend over so that you can flip your hair over and let it hang down. Use the diffuser and your fingers to gently scrunch your hair as you dry it. It will come out curly all over and nice and full and look beautiful without being frizzy. Use that leave in conditioner. I recommend Infusium formula 23. You can get it at the store. John freida also makes a really good curling mousse. I don't like L'oreal springing curls mousse cuz it's too heavy and sticky.


Another thing you could do is use hot rollers on the straight sections of your hair. Or soft velcro rollers overnight while you sleep. Just shower at night, put the leave in conditioner and curling spray in, and put the velcro rollers on. Cover your pillow with a thick soft towel. That way you are not using heat to dry your hair.


As far as straightening your hair goes, use something to help protect your hair from the heat like thermasilk. Alterna makes a great straightening balm that works and protects your hair really well. Let your hair dry naturally almost all the way. Get a straightening iron that has felt on it. You will lessen the chance of burning yourself and your hair.


I hope this helps. Good luck.
