Curly headed girls

How do you do you do your hair? It seems like everybody has their own "trick" or routine? So what works for you?

Also, have you seen the Curly Hair Problems on Pinterest? I think those are pretty funny because they are so true!

    I comb my hair in the shower with conditioner in my hair and then leave a little in. Then I use the cheapest hair gel and squish it in and then some mousse and let it air dry. If its humid, I will spray hair spray on it when it is a little damp.

    Aww man I was seriously just about to post this same thing specifically to you because I figured you would know!!

    B's hair is curly/wavy and it is getting long enough that it just looks weird in the back.  We bathe at night so I don't feel like doing any kind of product in her hair would keep til morning.

    Currently we do a pony with the curls hanging out the back that aren't long enough to reach the ponytail.

    Have you tried a little conditioner in her hair? Both of my kids have straight hair, but when I put in conditioner in theirs it makes a huge difference!

    For me, I only wash a few times a week to avoid drying it out. If I'm throwing it in a pony tail, I use cheap gel and scrunch it. If I'm leaving it down, I flip my head upside down and scrunch the underside with mousse, then flip it over and scrunch/style with more mousse. I usually finish with a little hairspray, too. For special occasions when I want it to look good for a while, like a wedding or party, I love TGI Catwalk Curls Rock.

    For DD1, oy. Her hair is thin, fine, and super tight curls - think Shirley Temple. It's adorable and she gets comments everywhere we go, but it gets super crazy as the day goes on. So far I've been using a leave in conditioner after baths a few nights a week, and to style in the mornings just a detangling spray so I can get a comb through it. Some days I just pull the top up into two little pigtails and others we stick a little headband on and call it a day (the harder plastic type, not the stretchy baby ones :) ).

    I wash my hair every other day. On days I wash it I will towel dry it a bit, and put a dab of gel in it. I usually don't use a blow dryer. I have to use a lot more gel in the summer when it's humid.

    On days I don't wash my hair I will use a little water to dampen it to reactivate the gel.

    I also think it's important to get your hair trimmedfrequently with layers to keep your curls looking nice.

    I have fine naturally curly hair. I used to love it but it changed textures after having a baby so now I despise it. However, when I do wear it curly I use Hair Rules Curly Whip styling product in the shower, Garnier Spray gel or a curling cream, and then diffuse it dry. I then use Frizz Ease Secret Weapon and shine spray to finish it off.

    This styling video is wonderful. I get great definition and volume if I style my hair like this:

    I just found this stuff and I love it!!  I just made my mom try it the other day and she's hooked on it too, lol.

    Wow!  Her hair is amazing!  I just don't want to take the time to do all that...not to mention that I don't have that much hair since I chopped it all off.

    I have to use John freida conditioning spray after every wash or it gets dry. Then for curly hair days I use John freida dream curls spray and fruictis spray gel. I dry it with a finger tip diffuser on low and sometimes use a touchable hairspray, must be aerosol.

    I'm in desperate need of a cut though, the curls always look best after
