Question:
I’m sick of fighting my natural curls. How can I keep them looking good all day?

Answer:
Stylist Shane Henning offers the following curl-taming advice. “Only shampoo two or three times a week — hair needs some natural oils to help form the curls. Rinse with cool water, to close the cuticle on the hair shaft, then gently towel dry hair to remove excess moisture and work with your fingers — avoid combing as this separates the curl and can make it frizzy.
“Curly hair needs product to smooth and set the curl. Shine or smoothing serums combined with a control creme or mousse work well. Once you have applied the product, don’t touch it, let it dry completely by itself. If you must dry it, use a diffuser attachment on your dryer, on a low heat.
“If your hair is still fluffy, use some more smoothing serum, or a little wax, for stronger control, and just wipe over your hair gently. Don’t brush curly hair — this will just make it expand and go fuzzy.”
