Here are some basic tips for curly hair that you might find helpful:

*Try to find a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair. A great tool for finding curly stylists in your area: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlsalons

*Don't shampoo every day.

*Comb conditioner through hair in the shower.

*Apply styling products to dripping wet hair. Scrunch or twirl hair to achieve desired shape. A leave in conditioner under gel is generally good.

*Avoid terrycloth towels on hair; use linen, paper towels, or t-shirts instead.

*Try plopping to decrease drying time: http://www.wikihow.com/Plop-Your-Hair

I have really curly hair too.



To get rid of the frizz, you should use hair mousse.

After coming out of the shower, brush your hair out. (Or brush it out before you go in so that it doesn't get damaged when it's wet)



Then apply the mousse, you'll need to put in quite a fair bit if your hair gets frizzy easily. Then blowdry, scrunching and fluffing you hair as you go, until dry.



You can finish with hairspray (although I wouldn't recommend using it every day).



I do this, and people always comment on how great my hair looks. Only thing is, don't sleep with it in every night, or it might get damaged after a long period of time. Always try to sleep with clean hair.



And also, this can make your hair feel hard, but don't worry it will look good and you can always put less in if you want it softer.



Here's what I use, but there are plently of hair mousses in stores everywhere.

You won't have any problem with wearing your hair down.

Hope I helped :)
I hear ya! I have really curly hair, too. I use a gel like John Freida and the trick is to not comb it thru your hair. What you want to do is squeeze some into the palm of your hand and rub it with the other hand. Then you grab pieces of your hair and pull the gel through piece by piece. After you do your whole head, leave it to dry. Once it's dry, you do a touch up in the same way, but use a little gel at a time so it doesn't look clumpy. Good luck!
