Curly hair can be bliss or a bane. Some individuals with curls lone them while others can never get over the bad hair days. Whether you love it or hate it, you have it and need to tame it. Curly hair tends to be dry and is therefore, vulnerable to humid air as it soaks up moisture. This causes the cuticles to expand, which results in frizz. The secret to keeping frizz at bay involves a deep conditioning treatment, use of products involving silicon, hot oil treatment and regular massage.

One of the biggest myths surrounding curly hair is that it doesn’t leave too many options for hairstyles.

If you have curly hair and need a haircut, you must keep in mind that the stylist needs to wet it first and comb them thoroughly in order to give a good haircut. After the curls dry they tend to curl up and look shorter. When deciding the length a client desires, the stylist needs to cut the hair half to one inch longer when wet.
