Natural curls look amazing if you wear them the right way. Curly hair takes a lot of care, but looks great when you're finished. So put away the flat iron and embrace your curls.

STEP 1

Wash your hair often, but not every day. A mistake most people make is shampooing everyday. It may seem like a good idea, but it strips your scalp of the natural oils it needs to be healthy. Naturally curly hair requires all of the moisture it can get to stay healthy due to the shape/form, and excessive shampooing can leave your hair dull and dry. Remember that you can still shower without shampooing. If you like to shower everyday, you can switch off. One day you can shampoo and condition, and the other you can just condition.

STEP 2

Invest in a good shampoo and conditioner. Studies have shown that conditioner's impact your hair more than shampoos do. It's definitely recommended that you find a shampoo for your hair type, as it will help your curls turn out better.

STEP 3

Have your hair trimmed. However, don't trim it until needed.

STEP 4

Try a hot oil treatment. As often as you want, warm up coconut or olive oil, rub it all around your hair/scalp, braid your hair, then shower the next morning.

STEP 5

Use a wide-toothed comb. Brushes can be very damaging to curly hair. By replacing your brush with a comb, not only will you make untangling easier, you'll protect your hair.

STEP 6

Apply products while hair is wet. This locks in the products and keeps them in your hair.

STEP 7

Scrunch wet hair. After getting out of the shower,use a good scrunching gel and scrunch your hair.

STEP 8

Use a cotton T-shirt instead of a towel to dry hair. Replacing your towel means reducing frizz and getting better sculpted curls.

STEP 9

Get a diffuser. If you ever need to dry your hair quick, you should buy a diffuser for your blow dryer. Diffusers evenly distribute the air and heat and don't give you the frizzy look blow dryers usually give you.

STEP 10

Wear your hair curly to school. The night before, take a shower and put it in a messy bun while still wet. The next morning spray your hair with water and scrunch.

STEP 11

Enjoy your curls!
