Maximum Curls

[SkinCareJunky]

Hello everyone,

This is my first post (I think)

I have wavy/curly hair with alot of frizz in it..and it basically just goes nuts when I let it loose. My hair falls significantly too. I've been straightening it with an iron and applying some serums (Farouk Biosilk) before and after the straightening process. When it's straight..it looks neater..and its easier to manage. So, I've come to the realization..I will never be able to let my hair flow in its natural state.

However, straightening has ruined my hair. Besides being unmanagable, it's now damaged..

Also..being that my is hair long..it takes FOREVER. I just don't have that time. So..today..on my day off..I decided..no more straightening. I want to scrunch my hair from now on..which means..I'll have to wash my hair everyday..

..another problem. When I scrunch it, I want to achieve like MAXIMUM CURLS..I LOVEEEEE :icon_love ..that TIGHT CURL look. I know alot of the Egyptian and Pueto Rican girls have hair like that..and when its gelled..it looks awesome.

What products should I use? Help?!!

Thanks guys,

My hair is curly with lots of flyaways and it's dry. To acheive maximum curliness, moisture is key so make sure to condition your hair daily. Use a nice thick everyday conditioner and also try out hair masques & deep conditioners. I'm sure some ladies on the forum could recommend some good ones. Don't ever brush your hair. Use a wide mouth comb when you've come out of the shower. Some people suggest never even doing that but I need to comb it at least then to detangle my hair.

What kind of look are you going for...wet or dry curls? I personally like the natural touchable curls look so I use gel as a base, L'Oreal Anti-Stiky Invisi Gel & L'Oreal Melting Gel, and then I use some mousse as my hair dries a bit. If you blow dry your hair, always use a diffuser. I used to use all of those serums and other products but found they never really did anything for me in terms of frizziness or shine so I stick to plain old gel & mousse to acheive my look. I'd suggest getting some long layers to rid your hair of some weight. This will give you some volume and also make your curls bounce more. Also get regular trims.

Hey Salope, thanks for the advice.

I'm gonna go out and by a comb. About moisture..I've actually cut down on the amount of conditioner I use..and I never use a leave in conditioner..because my hair is VERY OILY..and more added moisture..I dunno. Those products you mentioned..they give you a a dry look right? I want the wet curl look..even though its not wet..I think tight girls usually look wet and shiny anyways right? The girl in the pic looks as if her hair is wet..yet it probably isn't. I've noticed that the hair looks really soft..yet its actually hard as a rock and makes a crisp crisp noise then you touch it. I don't mind this though..lol.

Welcome to MuT!

You can also add a serum (like Citre'Shine or Frizz Ease) to add gloss to the hair and adding smoothness. You can also try CurlySexyHair products as they really help put more curl definition in my hair.

Let us know how it works out for you.

Where do you get "curlysexyhair"? I can't find it. My hair is part loose waves and part ringlet. It is a real pain to get my natural curls to look pretty because there is so much variation of wave and curl. Any suggestions? I end up straightening it quite a bit.

Janelle,

Where can you find these products? CurlySexyHair?

From the way her curls look...I think she's got a perm...I have really curly hair that does its own thing alot, sometimes its just wavy, sometimes it turns into a fro...when I wear it really curly, I usually oil it up and maybe put some sort of serum or oil based spray...I try to stick with more natural products because I hate the stiff and sticky feeling and build up of alot of products, but the one product that always gives a decent curl is the Noodle Head line from Beyond the Zone. I have the spray and the cream.

 

[robinoja]

Thank you! I am definitely going to try it. I'm new to this site and new to ordering haircare products off the internet. Never thought of that - good idea!

 

[SkinCareJunky]

I'm probably gonna try Ulta..but I found it at a site. Not sure if I'm allowed to post the exact link..but its called Eva Beauty.

Can curly sexy hair products do anything to straight hair that I would use a curling iron on, then try to scrunch it???

I have curly hair just like that picture you posted only my hair is only just past my shoulders. To get that wet look (but dry hair) and if you don't mind a bit of crunchiness use Biosilk Rock Hard Gelee. After you shampoo and condition put it on and comb through. Next I put a headband on to keep the hair out of my face and I let it air dry while I get dressed and put on my makeup. This allows the RHG to form almost like a cast and prevents any frizzies from forming when I diffuse it dry. I have tried hundreds of different products and hundreds of different combinations of products and this one seems to work the best for humid weather. In the winter I use Herbal Essences Maximum hold mousse and then top with Splash hairspray by Focus 21 and then the headband , airdry then diffuse routine. Hope this helps.
