HELP!! CURLY HAIRSTYLES?

We have picture day tommorro and i do not know what to do with it! I AM NOT GOING TO STRAIGHTEN IT! I have black shoulder length hair and my hair is REALLY curly!!!! and good hairstyles?HELP!! CURLY HAIRSTYLES?
- 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!


- 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 (sodium laureth sulfate, sodum lauryl sulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, etc.). 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 evenly 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). You can either let your hair air dry or wait ten minutes and then use a blowdryer with a diffuser. Dry until your hair is almost dry, and then let air dry the last bit. 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) or Activate Hydrating Conditioner (drugstore). 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 or Body Envy Gel, but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites. The products I recommended are my personal favorites and contain no silicones or drying alcohols.


- ';Strictly Curls'; is a book about curly updos and such. Curly hair looks good long or short 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.


- Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This may take a couple weeks to begin working. Before you decide to quit shampoo, do a final cleanse with shampoo and stop the use of any products with silicones in them. Hope this helps!

scrunch it or put it in a pony tail with twisties!!!!!!!
half up and half down something tht u dont wear often
As long as it is not in a pony tail or big, ugly braids (the ones that girls think are cute, but no guy in the room ever compliments a girl on! [you know what I'm talking about; they're big, generally French braids...]), you'll look good. Well, you'll look good IF you look good, if you know what I'm saying. Pretty hair doesn't beat pretty ugly! I recommend straightening it. Of course, you don't seem to think that your yearbook picture (I assume this is your yearbook picture) that will hold precious memories of your youth is worth the extra effort!
If you know how to cornrow or flat twist. You should do about four of those in the middle of your head (In the front), and leave the rest out. Remember to avoid frizz in curly hair. Try to comb it in the shower. Once you've washed or conditioned it put whatever styling products you use in it. Run it threw with just your fingers. This won't help by tomorrow but go to curls.biz they have a whole line of products that are good for all types of curly hair.

Do a side partition and sweep some of the hair in your face into a cute pin to the side. Then use some baby oil to de-frizz your curls and define them and leave then down.
