e. Visit NaturallyCurly.com to take their weekly poll!

NaturallyCurly.com has expanded its popular weekly polls to include a series of questions sponsored by Bumble & bumble.

When asked: “On unruly days do you…don a scarf, pose for a picture, let them run wild or dive for the flat iron,” a huge forty-nine percent of curlies said they would let their curls be curls and run wild.

When asked: “Your curls look best when you…” Thirty-seven percent of curlies said they think their curls look best when they style them with their fingers.

And when asked “I wish my curls were…stunning and smart, marvelous and manly, kooky and confident, or sultry and sophisticated.” Thirty-four percent of curlies answered kooky and confident.

I am a recovering curly-headed girl. However, I have been straightening my hair for so long that even my closest friends do not know what I look like with said curls…and to many, it remains a deep, dark secret.

For those of you far braver than me, who choose to keep your curls, I offer some advice. (Well, actually my friends at Ouidad do, which I am sharing here.)

Ouidad’s Tips For Perfect Curls!
Rinse and retreat! Not rinse and repeat. Repeated shampooing will kill those beautiful curls.

HAIR DO: Massage shampoo into your scalp with your fingertips and rinse by running your fingers down the length of your hair in a “rake-and-shake” motion.

HAIR DON’T: Don’t be shy when it comes to conditioning. Use a lot of product – and condition often!

The trick to styling curls is unstyling! Step away from the brush.

HAIR DO: Position your curls while damp and letting them dry naturally. You can use a blow dryer with a diffuser if you’re in a rush.

HAIR DON’T: Don’t put too much effort into styling your curls. Touching your curls as they dry only disturbs their natural pattern – creating unwanted frizz!

Curls need curl cuts!

HAIR DON’T: Don’t suffer through another cut that results in heavy clumps of curls and messes up your mane.
