Hi Irishfrndly65! I have very curly hair, and I think the key to keep the curls is moisture. I never blow dry my hair, and I try not to use any products that will dry it out. I used to wear a lot of hair spray and stuff to keep it in place, but nowadays, I just tend to let it roam free.

I also don't wash my hair every day, because it tends to dry it out, and frankly it's easier to style when it's a little dirty.

I don't have any specific products that work best. I used to love Avon curl shampoo, but I can't get it easily these days so I don't use it anymore. Garnier Fructise products usually work well for me in keeping my hair soft and keeping the curl.

Intersting. My hair has always been straight as a stick, but now is turning curly -- well wavy underneath anyway -- after menopause. I thought it was strange and didn't know why.

I don't have naturally curly hair but my sister does, she has beautiful curly hair and its thick, but she hates it. She's always using a flat iron to straighten it, not too long ago she went to the salon to have it chemically straightened and it wouldnt't do it, it just got curlier..ha. I asked her why you wanna do that? Alot of people pay good money to have that kind of hair, including me, I'm always getting perms. She said she knows, she hears it all the time. I don't know what she does to it, I know she uses alot of conditioner. When she was younger it used stick out everywhere, real frizzy, but as she got older she learned to take care of it, so now its not so wild.

I have naturally curly hair as well. Been that way my whole life. I have one trick that I use regularly. Take a tiny bit of conditioner and while your hair is still wet work it through your hair. Don't rinse it out. (That's why just a tiny bit). It keeps the frizz down and the moisture in. I also do a hot oil treatment once in a while. VO5 works great.

My daughter has dry curly hair. I have tried a few different conditioners, but they always weigh her hair down and make it look greasy. I am looking at the Mixed Chicks website right now and I see that they have products for kids. I may have to order some and check it out.

Oddly enough, Irish, my hair only curls up when I grow it out. Its natrually curly, but when its short, it just goes froma bit of frizz to straight with good volume, so I'm not complaining a bit. I have no product recommendations, but I can say that I'd prefer my hair to be on the curly side.

I have that book too. I started wearing my hair curly a few years ago after trying to straighten it about 20 yrs. I would blow dry it, then hot roll it...sometimes twice a day. It left my hair in really bad shape. Now I just let it air dry and most days just put conditioner of it and rinse. I use the Samy curl creme on my hair too. I am familiar with the naturallycurly.com site but not the other ones. I will check them out too. I have a hard time finding a hairdresser near me that is good with curly hair. Most of them want to straighten it.

My daughter has really curly hair as well. It's thick too. We had it straightened last year and what a mess it was. We are going to the city this time to get it done. We have tried numerous products. I am going online to get that book now. I want to find something that she can use that will make her hair gorgeous and not put a lot of product in it- She wears it pulled back most of the time- otherwise it snarls!
