it looks like they use a curling iron on emma watsons hair in the new ones, but if you get a curl creme (I suggest curl life by matrix) from your local drug/grocery/ cosmetology specialty store and put it in your towel dried hair then blow dry it with a diffuser (an attachment that goes on the drier ( it looks like this if you dont have one or never hear of one) http://z.hubpages.com/u/220191_f248.jpg and I always flip my hair upside down and just kinda scrunch your hair while you dry it...then if your hair is still a little limp or even frizzy just go through with a curling iron and define the sections that look frizzy...it seems like a lot of work, but if its worth it to you i think it will work :D good luck!I need curly hair help ?
. No brushing


2. Only comb hair with a wide tooth comb with conditioner in it.


3. Do not wash every day. Opinion differs but it can anywhere from every other day to once every two weeks. Focus on scalp when you do wash. Hair gets clean from run off.


4. Eliminate sulfates from hair products, they build up in curly hair cuasing frizz.


5. Curly hair eats up moisture. Deep treatments every two weeks, condition everytime you shampoo or even co wash (wash hair with condish) and have a leave in condish every day.


6. Twist/braids at night.


7. Apply gel washing hair or a humectant, This prevents frizz.


8. Plop hair with an micro fiber towel rather than terry cloth.


8. Touch hair very little throughout the day.

Presto. Less frizz. It's all in the book Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey. In the meantime the below websites are awesome



Go to a salon for a consultation. Bring pictures of Hermonie (or others) that you like. When you go to the salon, style your hair as you normally would, that way the stylist can see it.


In your consultation the stylist may recommend several different ways to cut your hair, products/tools to use or treatments (relaxation, etc).





Keep in mind how much time you're honestly willing to spend on your hair and upkeep...and money!!

i have really curly hair and used to be puffy but what i do now to fix it is:


when you get out of the shower towel dry your hair.


you can brush to get a part but do not over brush.


then in about inch wide sections take the hair and twist it around your finger and do this all around and finish with light hairspray if wanted/needed.


hope this helps!
I have the same problem. My secret to awesome curls is to brush my hair as soon as I get out of the shower. DO NOT BLOW DRY!!!! This always makes my hair pooooooffffffyyyyy!!! lol





The next morning I throw in a little fine mist spray and go about my merry way! lol :)





hope this helps!!! :)

the next day i straighten it


then after that i scrunch my hair with my hand
