In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Doing so will cause the curls to separate and become frizzy. If you need to tame your hair, try combing it with damp fingers, or applying a little bit of hair oil or styling cream. A wide-toothed comb is also safe to use. The bristles are spaced far enough so that they won't disrupt the natural curl pattern of your hair. Comb your hair starting from the ends first, and work your way up in small sections. Never comb your hair straight down from the roots to the ends. This will create snags, tangles, and frizz. If your hair is extra stubborn, try applying some oil, styling cream, or leave-in conditioner first. What looks great on your curly-haired friend may not look so good on you. Every curl is different. What haircut will look best on you will depend on how long you want your hair to be, how curly your hair is, and how much effort you are willing to put into your hair when styling her. Here are some tips and ideas: If you have tight, spiral curls, try to get longer layers. This will help weigh your hair down a little so it doesn't poof up, but it won't disrupt the curl pattern. If you have long, wavy hair, try getting some long layers. Keep the layers minimal, or your hair may poof out. If you like shorter hairstyles, try a long, shoulder-length bob. Keep it long in the front, and short in the back. This will help define your curls. If you like really short hair, don't be afraid to get a pixie cut! Just make sure that it is shorter on the sides and longer at the top. Both can damage curly hair and make it frizzy. If you have to use a flat iron or curling iron, spray your hair with a heat protection spray first. Adjust your flat iron or curling iron to a lower temperature setting before using it on your hair. Do not go higher than 400F (205C) or you will damage your hair.
Summary:
Do not brush your hair when it is dry. Detangle wet curls with a wide tooth comb. Get the right haircut. Use flat irons and curling irons sparingly and with care.
