You blame the weather, your genes, and just about anything whenever you put comb through your hair as it tangles through your mass of curls. |

You have grown up fighting against your curls, torturing them with treatments, and straightening irons. But over the last few seasons, hair experts have taken up on the versatility that curly hair offers. So suddenly your corkscrew curls are no longer bad news. Your loose s-shaped version is also much in demand, as spring hair calls for feminine styles. However curly hair can be super dry, and need extra care to remain fabulous and not frizzy.
* Avoid cutting very curly hair very short. Stick to at least shoulder length hair. Get a U shaped style with long layers to handle heavy curls.
* Since curly hair is dry you don't need to shampoo every day. But do use a conditioner in the shower, or apply a leavein conditioner to your wet hair to weigh them down.
* To give structure to your curls take a dollop of curl defining mousse in your palms, and run through your wet hair. Then let it air dry.
* If you need to blow dry, always use diffuser, and use your fingers to roll out the curls. You can also scrunch your hair when it's partially dry for more definition.
* To get a day long wet look, take little baby oil in your palms rub them together and evenly distribute through partially wet hair. As it dries the oil will give it a sleek, frizz free look.
* Use wide toothed comb or your fingers to comb your hair. Avoid brushes at all cost.
* At night always put up your curls in a soft bun to get tamed hair in the morning.
* Use moisturising oil like olive or almond oil before every shampoo. Massage through scalp and apply generously to your strands. Then wash and condition as usual. The oil is a natural conditioner, and keeps the curls soft, and supple.
