If you do, you will soon be worshiping the ground I walk on.Afue weeks ago While brousing random stuff on the net, I came across a website. The best website in the world...if you have curly hair (which I do).I have a small obsession with keeping my naturally curly hair frizz free, which usually involves also of product.Although I was following most of the rules this site was preaching, I wasn't following all of them.So I decied to give it a try.....The recomended trial time is 3weeks. I'm only at about one and 1/2, but already, wow! ( for lack of better exitement expressing words). My hair is sooo curly, defined, soft, very little frizz, not gooped up with product, and may I say myself, effing good looking.I feel it my duty to bring this message to other frizzy folk, to help make the world a better place...hair wise.The basic rules are as follows:. no brushing. ALOT of conditioner. no shampooI highly recomend you go to HERE and for more detail HERE for more info.Im not advertising or anything, but seriously, I friggen love my hair right about now.So much so, in less then 3 weeks, I'm finnally ditching the brown and going back to my natural strawberry blonde yay!Hope you enjoy. If anyone is now planning to become a true curly girl, let me know how it goes. smiles alot and looks in mirror again

Got curly or wavey hair?

Seems like you would end up with a really greasy head after a while.

I read through some of that, and felt the same way. I have naturally oily skin anyway. So for me, shampoo is a must EVERY day, otherwise, my curls are just plastered to my head. Plus, I have psoriasis on the nape of my neck up into my hair. I can't imagine how nasty it would get!The psoriasis, causes a lot of splitting and dreadlocks in the back of my hair: no brush? IKES! My lovely fro has every thing from straight to kinky and I kinda like the wild look sometimes!

I have naturally curly hair with a bit of frizz...I can't stand it! Which is why I bought a hair straightener...works great!I will have to check out these websites. I am kind of sick of straitening it. I just don't know about the no shampoo deal.

The theory with no shampoo is that by shampooing your hair, the deturgent in the shampoo removed all the natural oils. It's like if you wash your face too much or with somthing too harsh, if you take away too much oil, your body will produce extra oil to replace it (which means you get pimples if you wash your face too harshly).By not using the shampoo and using just contitioner to massage and rub into your sculp or using a conditioner and sugar scrub, you get rid of all the crap but leave most of the oil.After afue weeks your scalps gets used to not getting shampooed and produces less oil.Aparently after 3 weeks it should have ajusted enough that you only need to wash your hair about once a week...I thinksooo....as I've only been doing it for bit more then a week, I've washed my hair twice a week when it needed it because it did get oily. Thats no more washing then I needed to do when I was using shampoo. Also, after useing a 1/2 brown and white sugar, 1/2 conditioner scrub instead of shampoo, my roots don't actually feel greesy. They don't have the horable squeeky clean just shampooed feel tho.And yea, the thing that seemed the weirdest to me when I read these sites was the no shampoo thing, but I've been converted. playes with springy yummy curly hair

I feel very sorry for your hair. I used to only wear it down when I streightened it also but its such a pain and no very good on your hair.
I find curly hair so much more interesting....

I have naturally curly hair but I don't put stuff like that in or on it. I usually just shampoo and condition it and that's it. I hate the curly look so I always hot comb or straighten my hair before I go out in the mornings since it always gets curly again after I shower. It takes forever but it's worth it! lol

it has always made me wonder why if a girl has a type of hair, she must have the other type of hair? why do girls with straight hair go to all lengths to get curly hair, and vice versa? is it like a change of things? i have never gotten like an answer that i understand. i guess it is habit for the lack of another word.

Because the grass is always greener on the other side.I have curly hair and used to streighten the shit out of it because I thought curly hair wasn't structured or didn't conform enough for my perfectionist self.I also have naturally blonde hair and have dyed it a dark reddy brown for the past 1 and 2/3 years.Skinny girls wish they had more curves, curvy girls wish they looked like catwalk models.people want to be browner or fairer, more or less freckled, taller, shorter blah blah blahBasically, we want what we don't have and it takes a very confident self assured person to accept and love themselves just as they are.

Well, the reason curly hair is suposibly differnt to regular hair is that it's alot dryer. So taking out what little moisture it has, ever if you replace it with more isn't really a good thing......well, I'm just really going by the proof I have wich is, no shampoo = very curly
