Best kind of braids to result in nice, wavy-curly hair...?

I have medium-length hair, just past my shoulders, and I've recently been braiding it after a shower, leaving the braids in overnight, and taking them out in the morning for curl.

I was wondering, what kind of braids result in the best curl? And how many? One big French braid doesn't get my hair curly enough, but people keep telling me that more than one will make my hair too 'crimped' looking.

I have a bit of a round face - and hair thats too curly makes me look plump-er.

Thanks in advance!

Try doing an increasing number of plaits (sorry...braids!) until you get the effect you like the best. I would have thought two would not be too dramatic. If you start them as close to the top of your head as possible then you will avoid the annoying straight bit at the top. A French plait is a good way to achieve this and I find that adds a nice bit of volume too. I find the more plaits the merrier (though I can't do French plaits sadly) but then I do like huge hair! I would try four; perhaps experiment when you're not going anywhere the next day :) try 'looser' braids for a less frizzy effect.

You should dry your hair after your shower and put it into two french braids. To avoid the overly crimped look, don't braid them too tight. You can experiment with it to see how tight you should make it for however curly looking you want it. Best of luck!

I like to have curly hair sometimes too. With my hair, all I have to do is put it in two braids overnight after a shower. It totally works.( but after your shower, brush it first so it will be better in the morning. Then put in nice tight braids.) Sleep with them in and then in the morning take them out but don't brush them. It will look UGLY. (that is what the brushing before thing was for.) Good luck with your hair!

Process of switching from relaxed hair to natural hair?

when i was younger (before i got my relaxer at age five) i had long hair, then i got a relaxer, i thought the relaxer was working well for a while. but now i'm thinking about going natural again, i would like to know the steps of going natural, and what shampoo, conditioner, and ect should i use. and and can i use a flat iron? my mom says that i should keep braiding my hair. sorry i'm asking so many questions, but i would like to do this switch the right way, NOT the fast way.

Process of switching from relaxed hair to natural hair?

well you have 2 options:

1: cut the relax and start brand new without the headache of 2 entirely different textures

2: grow out the relaxer with regular trims.

If you grow out the relaxer take some kind of supplements to help keep it strong as you're transitioning.

Natural hair requires different type of products and care than relaxed hair. Treasuredlocks.com has really good products for natural hair. I'm using the elixir while i transition. it makes the new growth easier to comb through and keeps it all moisturized. you will need to find a protective style as well such as a bun or braids

I also suggest that you visit

motowngirl.com and nappturality.com

to read up on how to care for you hair both while transitioning and once you're all natural. they have various natural recipes for your hair and describe exactly how to do some of the protective styles that work well while transitioning. Also if you don't have a support system to keep you from relaxing your hair you can join an online group or join a meet up. They have some in bigger cities like ATL and Balitmore. Since natural hair is a big thing now more and more are popping up you can google them and i'm sure find one near you. Good luck!!

Process of switching from relaxed hair to natural hair?

#1red gives some good information. I've been natural for about six years and heat free for about six months (no dryers, curlers, or flat irons).

If you don't want to chop all your hair off and start new (that wasn't an option for me) you can wear protective styles. You can choose to wear braided styles, you can just have your hair straightened with a press or flat iron as the relaxer grows out. Make sure you keep your ends trimmed. Your health is reflected in your hair so you want to take care of yourself and drink lots of water.

I would not suggest a lot of products because chemicals especially in excess aren't good for your or your hair. It's a learning experience. Explore the web and experiment to see what works for you.

It's a journey and you will get frustrated with your hair at time, but don't give up. You have endless option.

(I've got fine but thick hair) What's the best way to curl and keep the curls in my hair a

Straight, fine but thick, goes about 5-6 inches passed my shoulders.

I'll curl it with a curling iron, but it only lasts about 30 minutes and because I have so much hair, my curls don't turn out the way I want it to... Like, I'll have to get big curls becuase my hair is heavy or some thing like that.

My friend recommended braiding my hair before I went to bed or twisting it, but it didn't work. HELP?!

(I've got fine but thick hair) What's the best way to curl and keep the curls in my hair all day?

First spray your hair with hairspray

then:

2 section your hair

3 grab small sections of hair and put your ghds on firmly or tightly depending on how curly you want them!

4 pull them down whilst twisting, just like you do when curling ribbon with scissors!

Then spray your hair at the end with hair spray to keep them in all day!
