43 years old with out-of-control curly hair

What is the best product to tame my curly hair? I don’t want to cut it because it just gets curlier! I have some grey in my hair too, so I’m trying to “age gracefully”.

I don’t know of any specific product that is best, you’ll just have to test the waters. I can, however, give you some tips for dealing with curly hair( I have it myself):

  • When you wash your hair, leave half the conditioner in, which makes the curls ALOT softer and more tame.
  • Rub a small amount of olive oil through hair to tame fly-aways *Cut your hair in layers, which will minimize frizz and eliminate the triangle look curly hair tends to get if it’s all one legnth.
  • When you’re straightening it, less product is better
  • Don’t straighten it more than twice a week
  • Sleep with it in a braid to wake up with nice waves
  • Dye it a light colour, that way, when the grays come in, they’ll be less obvious.
  • Don’t use hair sprays or gels, which contain alcohol, which dries the hair.
