Steps

1 Don't use heat. Hot styling tools like a hair straightener or curling iron only harm your hair, turning it into a dry, brittle, unhealthy mess as you literally fry your hair when you use it. Therefore, the first thing you should do is cut off the split ends of your hair, you can do this at your local hairdresser or even do it yourself if you're not afraid.
2 Don't wash your hair every day. You may be thinking that washing your hair every day is beneficial. But when you wash your hair every day, you are flushing out its natural oils and the result is that your hair becomes dry and frizzy. Curly hair requires a lot more moisture than straight hair, so daily washing is not necessary. You should wash your hair 2 to 4 times a week. Optionally, you can use hair conditioner in between shampoos.
3 Get the right shampoo and conditioner. You may be thinking that it doesn't matter what kind of shampoo and conditioner you use. But it really matters. The type of shampoo and conditioner used has a profound effect on your hair. Everyone has different needs, so the type of shampoo and conditioner used depends on your personal choice and on your personal feeling: which product makes your hair look best. For example, if you go to the pool and often swim in chlorinated water, you should use a cleansing shampoo and conditioner, as the chlorine in the pool water can be harmful to your hair.
4 After moisturizing your hair, apply conditioner starting about 2 centimeters from the hair roots. Avoid applying too much conditioner as this can cause your hair to become oily. Apply enough conditioner to leave your hair silky smooth. Wait 1 to 3 minutes before rinsing off the conditioner, during this time comb your hair with your fingers until you have combed out most tangles, then use a wide-toothed comb, starting from the ends of the hair to the roots to avoid damaging the hair.
5 You should deeply condition your hair at least once a week to keep it hydrated. There are many deep conditioning products available, such as Garnier Fructis Nutri-Repair 5 Minute Ultra Nourishing Butter Mask.
6 Detangle your hair now. As a girl with curly hair, you probably already know that, other than when you need to go to the masquerade in the form of a witch, you should avoid combing your hair when it is dry, because it will just turn into a cloud. Use a detangling spray on any tangled areas and gently brush through your fingers or a wide-toothed comb. Do not use a regular comb because it can damage your hair.
7 Avoid towel drying your hair. Friction of hair when drying, increases hair frizz when dry. Just gently squeeze your hair out in the shower to remove some moisture from your hair. To dry completely wet hair, wrap it in a towel on the top of your head and hold it there for about 5-10 minutes.
8 If you are in a rush and don't have time to let your hair dry naturally, then use a diffuser (it comes with your hairdryer), because we all know that hairdryers are a nightmare for girls with curly hair, as they just turn your hair into a cloud of hairs sticking out in different directions. Point the diffuser in the direction of the curl, hold the curl in your hand and squeeze it gently as you dry. However, you should not use a hair dryer on your hair too often, and when you do use it, be sure to use hair products that are designed to protect against heat.
9 Do not dump all the funds on your head at once. As you already know, it is best to apply the products to damp hair, however, you should not apply different products in layers, because, like us, our hair needs to breathe. Too much product on your hair will simply make it oily and frizzy. It is recommended to use 1 to 4 products on the hair, and it is necessary to take a break for 3 to 5 minutes between applications so that the product has time to be absorbed.A great way to apply products to your hair is to gently press it into your hair, this will help keep your curls from looking slick.
10 Use the right products. Curls tend to frizz, to prevent frizz, you need to use an anti-frizz serum. To add extra shine to your hair and help it heal, there is a wonderful remedy - organic coconut milk. If you want to add some moisture to your hair, you can substitute coconut milk for your conditioner. There is no need to buy expensive hair care products to keep your hair looking good. There are excellent products available in pharmacies and cosmetic stores that help hair well.
11 Curling mousses and gels are great tools for styling curls and creating casual, natural curls. However, if you use too much gel or mousse, it can give your hair a hard, unnaturally crispy look. So make sure you use the right amount and spread it evenly through your hair, crushing it into it. The Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Line has a wide selection of styling products such as mousses and gels that work wonders for your hair while keeping your hair looking natural and odorless.
12 Shape your curls by squeezing them and wrapping them in curls around your finger.
