What are some good hair styles for shoulder length curly hair?
Have you tried wearing your hair curly? It is easier, and a lot healthier. You could try braiding your hair too. :)

Here are some basic tips for curly hair that you might find helpful:

*Try to find a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair. You can find ratings by region here: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlsalons

*Don't shampoo every day.

*Comb conditioner through hair in the shower.

*Never use a brush, only a comb when the hair is wet.

*Apply styling products to dripping wet hair. Scrunch or twirl hair to achieve desired shape.

*Use styling products suited for your hair type. Don鈥檛 know yours? http://www.naturallycurly.com/hair-types

*Avoid terrycloth towels; use microfiber or t-shirts instead.

*Air dry or use a diffuser with your blowdryer.

*Don't touch (or brush!) your hair while it鈥檚 drying



For specific products for your hair type you might want to explore the forums at:

http://www.naturallycurly.com/curltalk/

There you can find others with the same hair type and try out some of their favorite products. So that鈥檚 really useful.



For now, I recommend trying LA Looks and Herbal essences gels, Suave Naturals/vo5 conditioners (really cheap), Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Condish (semi-cheap but super moisturizing; found at organics/specialty stores), red Cream of Nature shampoo, and L'oreal out of bed instant texturizer (black tub; use under gel). These are all good things to try out first. Be sure to tinker around with amounts and how you use any products.



Lastly, it has made my hair so much better since I started the curly girl method! I used to almost never wear it down (it was a frizz/poof ball), but now I have pretty, shiny curls. ~:) It鈥檚 pretty radical鈥攏o sulfates (shampoo) or silicones鈥攂ut it鈥檚 so great for curly hair.

I have layers cut into my curly hair. This helps so that I can wear it straight or curly. When I wear it curly, I start out with a wet head. I lean over and scrunch my hair with gel for curly hair. This gives me small curls that are defined.

Longish layers! (- short layers are always a bad idea!) and a cute little sweeping fringe! You'll look stunning :)
