Curly Hair Tips

from the Ask Nicole pages



Hundreds of curlyheads have written to ask Nicole Siri their questions about curly hair - how to cut curly hair,
how to manage it, style it, moisturize it, what to do about bangs and fringes, how to get rid of the frizz, how to get curly hair in the first place ... even how to straighten curly hair.

If you have a question about curly hair, the chances are that another curly girl has already asked it ... and maybe Nicole or another visitor has offered her advice in response.

We can't guarantee this, but it's worth a try.

We've listed below the curly hair questions that have been answered, and grouped them into categories.

Each question is a link that will take you to the original submission, where you can read the full text and check the comments to see what advice they received.

You can leave comments yourself, too. And if the answer you seek isn't there, you can ask your own question :)
