If Curls Could Talk: A Curly-Girls Guide to Embracing her Locks

Everyone is attracted to girls with curls... Some of the girls just don't know how to take care of their curls. Use this guide as a tool to celebrate your curls, and then set them free the way they are naturally!
As a curly-haired guy (at least when it gets longer), I can attest to the horrors of keeping it in line. If I go metal again now I’ll know how to carry it off better instead of settling on the ‘fro.
Brilliant! Have you tired Ojon? It’s changed my curly-haired life. It’s created from the oil of a plant found in Central America. It actually makes my hair silky!

Yes, you heard it right. It is called No-Poo and it means you STOP using shampoo.
Hey, I can see your face right now, and you look disgusted… Listen, I haven’t used shampoo in four years, and it is the best hair decision I have ever made.
Curly hair is naturally dry, that is why it curls! We think we need shampoo to keep our hair and scalp clean, but we are actually washing our precious locks with harsh drying sulfates that are not good for curly hair. Would you ever use your dish soap on your hair? The harsh ingredients in most shampoos strip your scalp and hair of moisture, and makes curly hair frizzy and unmanageable. This is where the No-Poo concept comes into place…
Replace your shampoo and mediocre conditioner for a cleansing conditioner. Try no-poo’ing your hair for a couple weeks and watch your curls transform. If the idea of not using shampoo grosses you out, then try not washing your hair as often, or restrict yourself to only shampooing your hair once a week.
The infamous Devachan salon in NY helped the no-poo concept go mainstream with their luscious conditioning products. This is my favorite, One Conditioner.
To give you a better cut for your curl, most curl specialists will cut your hair when it is dry.
Don't Brush It
Conditioners should work well enough that you can use your hands to separate the tangles. Brushes are hard on curly heads.
Soak it Up
Let your hair soak up the products, and use a paper towel instead of a towel for scrunching.
Hidden Curls
When your hair is drying, take the tight curls that are behind your neck and stretch them to the curls in the front with a clip. This will help make the tight curly-Q’s stretch out with the length of your hair.
Don't Do It
There is no need to use a hair dryer, and certainly no need to buy a hair dryer with a hand at the end of it to scrunch the hair for you. This dryer kind of grosses me out.

Don’t you love how when some “frumpy” girl in a movie gets a makeover, she inevitably has her hair straightened? I call BS on that. Curls are awesome.
And that hand hair dryer is totally creepy. Yikes.
