22 Ways To Make Managing Your Curly Hair So Much Easier

It's time to take charge.

"I condition and finger detangle every night. I use a T-shirt to tie it up for 15 or so minutes to dry, and use Cantu Curling Cream for Natural Hair every night. I try to let it air dry as much as possible before bed so it has enough bounce the next day -- pineapple it and throw on a bonnet before bed. I only wash one day a week and deep condition with a SheaMoisture mask on Sundays. That tends to be my day at home, so I just pop my hair in two braids and leave it alone." —pineappleracer

"Just because you and another person both have the same hair type doesn't mean the same products will work for you as they do for them. Get to know your hair, its porosity, whether it's fine or coarse, thick or thin. Tailor your care to that because that is just as -- if not more -- important as knowing whether your hair is 3C or 4B. Your hair may be exactly the same curliness as another's, but if their hair is low porosity and yours is high, that will completely change what you ought to do to care for it." —gretchen

"My rule of thumb is once a year, splurge on a salon that caters to curly or natural hair for some shaping and layers, and then the rest of the year dust the ends yourself. A trim or dusting every three to four months can take your hair from a knotted, tangled mess to soft and silky. For at-home trimming, I wash and style my hair as I normally would for a wash-and-go, let it dry as I normally would to see how my hair falls, and then 'search and destroy' any of the gross ends to the curls. I rarely take off more than a quarter of an inch but it takes my hair to the next level and keeps it so much softer." —gretchen
