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.

The main reason why you get sleepy after lunch is because food that you eat for lunch diverts your blood away from your brain to help with the digestion process. Your body also releases a bit of melatonin after lunch related to a drop in core temperature that occurs around 2 to 3pm. Melatonin is a hormone that helps you fall asleep at night. A post lunch slump may be worse if you haven't had enough sleep the night before. Adults need about 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night to function at their best, so try to go to bed in time to get enough sleep each night. If you are suffering from insomnia, talk to your doctor to determine the cause. While a post-lunch slump is normal, inadequate or poor nutrition may make your afternoon drowsiness worse. To determine how to avoid feeling sleepy after lunch, consider the following questions: Do I eat breakfast every day? Have I been eating a lot of processed and high sugar foods? Have I been eating poorly the night before? Have I been consuming too much caffeine and alcohol? Is my breakfast providing me with nutritional energy? (more than just coffee) Have I been physically active consistently? Do I have a right life-work balance? Have I been eating healthy lunches? If your answer to any of these questions is no, then you should evaluate your lifestyle habits to help make your post-lunch slump less severe. Write down when you feel drowsy, what you ate, whether you had exercised or not, how well you slept the night before, and any other factors that might be involved. Do this over a week, and at the end of the week, analyze the data you have recorded. Look for patterns so that you can learn to avoid any habits that cause drowsiness problems for you.
Summary: Be aware that feeling sleepy after lunch is related to digestion. Consider how much sleep you have been getting. Ask yourself if your eating habits may be contributing to your afternoon drowsiness. Track the habits that make you sleepy in a food diary.
