Curly Hair Styles and Curly Haircuts for 2010
Curly hairstyles are a creative challenge for most stylists. Women with straight hair often try to emulate them, but the woman with natural curls may envy her friends with straight hair when she has difficulty finding a stylist who knows how to bring out the best in her hair.
Difficulties with naturally curly hairstyles include getting the curls to grow in the right direction, controlling frizz, adding shine and keeping the hair in good condition, which is why curly-haired women should head straight for an expert in curly hair.
Searching a Hairstylist for Curly Hair Style
Ouidad, a famous hairstylist to such curly-haired celebrities as Juliana Margulies, Minnie Driver, and Mary Steenburgen, was the first person to open a salon and create a product line especially for curly hair. Since she created this specialty over 20 years ago, several other hair salons and products have sprung up to serve this market. Some well known ones are Ricci, Christo Fifth Avenue (whose clients include Joss Stone and Melina Kanakaredes), Hickox Studios, and Devachan Salon. Many of these salons are national chains, so with a little searching, curly girls should be able to find a local expert.
While you are searching for a stylist who can make the most of your curls, here are some tips from Ouidad on how to care for them at home: shampoo hair no more than twice a week (natural oils help tame curls); condition daily and deep condition twice a month; use a styling lotion to help set your curls, and avoid heated styling tools as much as possible.

Sounds really good, but if I only washed my hair twice a week, I’d be a ball of fuzz! How in the world is that possible, and NO HEAT!? OMG, if I don’t ad gel, and blow dry-ball a frizz AGAIN!! How are supposed to condition it every day w/out washing it??

What they mean by not washing it is to not shampoo it. Shampooing strips hair of it’s natural oils. You can condition either with a rinse out conditioner (and wash and rinse your hair with the coldest water you can, which will help to seal the cuticle and make your hair shinier and less prone to frizz) or with a spray in one. If you use a rinse out conditioner you can leave a tiny bit of residue in your hair, that is, not wash it out completely. Mostly, but not completely.

Another tip I have found that works is; just before you get out of the shower squeeze out excess water and put in the styling product that you use…then take an old cotton t-shirt and scrunch out the water that is left…DO NOT use a towel on your hair any longer…you will be surprised at the difference it makes…i have been doing this for a few months now and you can really tell the difference
