I've been fighting my curls my whole life ... even when I'd get many compliments.
Years ago, (I'm 41 now) I finally decided to live with it and care for it the way curls needed to be cared for. I'm at peace with it and get even more compliments!
Best advice ... MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE and MOISTURIZE.
Do not use styling products with alcohol, do not wash every day but DO condition every day, followed by a leave in conditioner, anti frizz serum and conditioning gel. Blow dry with a diffuzer.
I actually will then use a straigtening iron, gently & lightly, layer by layer JUST TO LOOSEN the curl and add a little length - otherwise I look like a french poodle! No thanks!
