OK, I have "hair envy" now!!  I bet it is sooo totally gorgeous.  Everybody always seems to want the kind of hair they don't have :)

Talk to a professional at a hair salon - BUT whatever you do, don't let them take away your ethic flavor.

PS - I am so jealous

Answer 3

haha i have thick curly hair i know how you feel. curly hair can dry out really easily so the best thing to do is condition, condition, condition. but don't over-do it. i use paul mitchell leave-in conditioner every time i'm finished showering, and every sunday i shower and put in the paul mitchell intense conditioner that you have to wash out. some weeks, my mom will heat up some indian oil and put it in my hair. i wash it out after a few hours. you have to buy the paul mitchell conditioners at a salon or i guess you could get them online, and the indian oil can usually be found at those little indian grocery stores. try to not blow-dry or straighten your hair a lot because it will cause damage. also, brush your hair a lot because curly hair can get really tangly and so matted it becomes like dreadlocks! (your hair seems like it would do that) good luck :]

Answer 7

I'm Half Mexican and Half Costa Rican, so I feel your pain. The best shampoo and conditioner I've found for my hair believe it or not is the Suave Professionals for curly hair. It costs half the price as Pantene but works better. I also don't rinse all of the conditioner out, I leave a little bit to keep the moisture in. Afterwards I spray leave on conditioner (Yes MORE conditioner, curly hair gets really dried out) and use a product called Curls Rock curl booster by the TIGI brand. I just rub it into my palms and spread it through my hair, it keeps the curls full and smooth and prevents frizz.

I also decided after years of having long long hair, that I wanted a change and cut it all off to just below my chin. If you get a hairdresser that knows what their doing with layers it'll look really cute and the curls are less weighed down. I don't think I'll even have long hair again...short hair is SO much easier to maintain when you have crazy natural curls!

Answer 11

have you seen the girl on deal or no deal with the short curly hair, her name is hayley...i am so jealous of her!  I love that style, and from how you are describing your hair, i think it would work for you!  Her hair was shorter, but its getting longer and it still looks great!
