Curls can create fun, flirty hairstyles that are easy to care for and stylish any time of year. If you have loose waves or curls in your hair, you might wonder how you can create more curls, or get rid of frizz in order to emphasize the curls you already have. Luckily, there are several cuts and products on the market that can make curly hairstyles fun and easy to achieve.

Instructions

1. Visit a top salon to get a good cut. Ask friends with nice haircuts where they get their hair cut and make an appointment with a good stylist. Tell the stylist that you are trying to achieve a curly hairstyle. When the stylist looks at your hair, he or she will be able to tell what style will work with your hair type. Usually, curly hair does well with layered a cut to increase volume at the top of the head and minimize it around the face.

2. Choose a proper shampoo for your hair type. Curly hair tends to be dry, so it is important to choose shampoos and conditioners that will add enough moisture to your hair. You might also consider trying shampoos designed to lock in curls.

3. Use curl enhancing styling products. Shine- and oil based-products contain oils and ingredients that will moisturize your hair, encourage curl, and cut down on frizz. Think about trying products such as Aveda's Humectant or Round Trip by Paul Mitchell. You only need a nickel- or quarter-sized amount of product in order to do the job, so don't overdo it.

4. Buy a diffuser for your hairdryer. While it's best to dry curly hair naturally, you can create curly styles with a hairdryer as long as you use a diffuser to encourage curls and discourage frizz.

5. Use rollers or a curling iron if air drying or drying with a diffuser doesn't make your hair curly enough. You might also consider setting wet hair in braids. When your hair dries and you take it out of the braids, it will be very wavy. A perm might be an option, but can be damaging to hair and should always be done by a professional.

6. Avoid using a brush on curly hairstyles. Instead, use your fingers or a pick as much as possible. Let your hair be itself and, with your good haircut, it will always look like you have just walked out of a salon.
