Enhance Your Curly Hair Starting Today

It took me years to embrace my naturally curly hair

, but now that I have, it is one of my favorite features about myself. But that doesn't mean that I don't still struggle with controlling my mane. Yet that is just the problem--we all try to control our hair rather than enhance it.

But curly locks require special care, so you'll never get the results you want if you don't know the right strategies to work with your hair rather than against it. So let me tell you what has worked for me.

Limp locks? That is often a result of hair that is too heavy to form full-bodied curls. To remedy this condition, visit your salon and ask your stylist to thin out your hair. He or she will use special sheers which will get rid of some of the excess weight, allowing your hair to spring back to life.

However, you should bear in mind that this can make your hair appear shorter than it actually is. So another idea would be to visit your salon and consult with a stylist about a perm. That's right, I said a perm! A permanent wave can be manipulated to add body and boost volume for hair that already has curl.

You never want to weigh your hair down or make it appear crispy, so when you choose curly hair products, you need to pointedly select leave-in conditioners, gels, and hairsprays that are lightweight and specially formulated to work with your hair's needs.

If you need stronger hold for your style, don't turn to a heavy-duty hair gel. Instead, look for a texturing balm that will add shine and keep your tresses where you put them. Plus, some of these balms are made to seal split ends, which can be very helpful after plenty of duress brought on by heat styling.

I used to use a curling iron to add more body and big accent curls around my face. But this hardly ever yielded the results I hoped for, so I decided to switch to hot rollers. These create softer, more natural-looking curls and provide increased manageability. I do not recommend them for daily use, however.

Avoid using thick ponytail holders or bobby pins for long periods of time, as these tend to cause breakage on already delicate hair. But pins can be used to create classy looks as long as you are willing to experiment a little. Try to have fun with your hair instead of getting hung up on your frustration.
