I need mom-friendly ideas for styling my curls - HELP! My hair has been short (shorter than my shoulders) for almost 3 years, and now I've gone a bit long again (few inches past shoulders), but I have no idea what to do with my hair, and I'm sick of it always being tied up in a sloppy nest.

I started using Keratin products...this has made a world of difference! I have really long hair and I can wear it down almost every day when using this. It's pretty amazing if you haven't tried it.

No, I don't mean like that. Actually, I use and love Deva products. (https://www.mydevacurl.com/) I have good curls, just looking for something to DO with them. I wear a lot of headbands and things, but hoping for some ideas on different ways to wear it other than just down all the time. Something to feel "fancy."

I have super curly hair as well and lately I've been putting it in a loose low ponytail or a low side pony. I also have been wearing it half-back, which helps because I have some layers around my face and it keeps the shorter pieces out of my eyes when I'm attending to LO.

My go to is applying Redken ringlets while it is wet and air drying (I mean do you think I have time to blow dry?) Then when it's dry I put cute barettes or bobby pin type clips in. Just a little back so curls still surround my face but it gets the bang area out of the way for practicality.

Honestly, my hair is crazy! I can't seem to find time to do more than messy bun or messy pigtail buns! It's my go to look, no always a good one? Eh, I don't mind.....

Girrrrl, it is all about the "rake and shake" Ouidad technique! Once you put the effort into defining the curls with product, then diffusing or air drying them, you can get like 3 days wear out of them. It is the only way I do curls. Once you get them pretty, then do what pps have mentioned like half up or side ponytails. You can check out Ouidad's website for a tutorial on the rake and shake!
