Curly hair needs some kind of product to keep it under control and looking its best. Shampooing and conditioning is not enough. Also, everyone uses different products. What works for you might not work on the next person. All curly hair is different.
Some people have large curls, others have tight spirals. Some people have dry hair, others have very dry hair. The best way to know which products will work for you is to experiment. If you try a product and your hair turns out bad, try something else.
You need to start with a good shampoo. Shampoo can really dry out your hair because it can strip your hair of it's natural moisture. Make sure you get one made especially for dry or curly hair. Also, don't shampoo too often. Once to three times a week is plenty to shampoo. Otherwise, just rinse and scrub your scalp.
Next, it is time for your daily conditioner. Don't use the really cheap dollar conditioners because they are usually very thin and nowhere near moisturizing enough. Use a thick conditioner like dover or garneir fructis. You don't need to buy an expensive conditioner, just not the cheapest. Leave it on for at least a minute.
Make sure you condition your hair every time you wash it. This is an important step. Put more conditioner towards the ends that are older and dryer.
Don't skip the conditioner! It is the most important step for curly hair. Even a daily conditioner still might not be enough. Use a deep conditioner once a week or once a month. A deep treatment will give you that extra moisture it needs when it it needs it.
Once you are clean and conditioned, you will be styling. Styling products are important to get the right curls. If you skip the styling products, your hair may frizz up and just get unruly. There are several different types of styling products you can use. Whichever you choose I recommend always starting with a leave-in conditioner first. This ensures that you won't lose moisture throughout the day.
Next, you will need to use a styling product that holds your curls and reduces frizz. A serum is a possibility to help reduce frizz, but on top of that I recommend either a gel or mousse. Both of these provide much needed hold for frizzy hair. - 15266
