Curly Hairstyles!?

Hey i have really curly blonde hair and i need a hairstyle that can be done in less than a half hour. My hair is wavy/curly, inch past shoulder length and blonde. It would really help if you could describe it too, or add a link

- Read the book and visit the sites below about curly hair. I did and my once horrible curly hair is now virtually frizz-free ringlets. Now I get compliments on my hair all the time! Straighten your hair- be happy for a day, learn to manage your curly hair- be happy for life! It also takes way les time to wear your hair curly.

- To style your hair using the curly-girl method you will need gel, a leave in cream, and conditioner at the minimum. Some less useful, but still nice stuff would be a blowdryer, a diffuser (reduces frizz in curly/wavy hair when used with dryer), and a microfiber hair turban (to dry wet hair while sleeping or in the morning).

-The main philosophy of the curly-girl method is to not use shampoo. This may sound unhygenic but it has actually made my hair less oily and dandruffy. Most shampoos contain some of the same chemicals found in laundry detergent (aka sodium laureth sulfate or anything close to that). They dry out curly hair. Also you shouldn't brush your curly hair dry because it damages the hair and makes it poof.

- Massaging of the scalp with conditioner to remove dirt is all that is needed. It will clean everything but super clingy silicones (cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone are examples). Then rinse and spread conditioner on the outside layer of hair and the hair at the nape of your neck. Gently comb tangles out with your fingers or a wide toothed comb and rinse with cold/cool water.

- Do not brush/comb your hair after this point because it wil disturb the curl pattern (make sure you already have a part). It is also important to use gel on sopping wet hair and scrunch the hair with your fingers. Make sure gel is distributed everywhere in your hair. If you use too much you can always scrunch out the crunchy texture later.

- Use paper towels or an old t-shirt to gently scrunch some of the water out (generic towels can make hair frizz). Then let your hair air dry or wait ten minutes and then use a blowdryer with a diffuser. Do not touch the hair while it is air drying or it will frizz!

- Use a moisturizing conditioner, such as Desert Essence Organics Italian Red Grape Conditioner (found at health food/organic stores). The combo of products that I use daily is L'Oreal Out of Bed Weightless Texturizer (comes in a black-colored tub) and then Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Gel but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites.

- ';Strictly Curls'; is a book about curly updos and such. Curly hair looks good long with LONG layers. I like to sweep hair back with 2 crisscrossed bobby pins after parting my hair to the side. I also like to wear my hair half up and leave out individual curls to frame my face.

- I advise against thinning because it will make your ends ratty. Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This may take 2 to 4 weeks to begin working. I suggest doing a final cleanse with shampoo and stopping the use of any products with silicone in them before, if you decide to no-poo. Hope this helps!

if you put your hair in a side pony tail and add a cute head band or tie a sash in your hair its really cute. i understand if u dont want to do this everyday so switch off between that and maybe a messy bun or half up half down. simple easy and cute
my favorite thing to do with it is super easy after you take a shower just blow dry your hair, and use little clips to pull half of it back its really adorable
if u dont lyk the texture, u can get products to straighten (john frieda works great for me!). i bought some rly gud ones at target.

for hairstyles- bobby pin on top (u can pin bangs if u got em), half-pony, braids, headband, headband w/ ponytail, ponytail. dont forget messy buns! they're easy for school and hot dates!

btw i think ur hair wud look great if u grew it out a couple inches. =D but its ur choice. good luck!
