Curly hair can be extremely difficult to tame and work with. Some people would rather hide their curls while others would rather define their curls. Some problems that having curly hair could create though is the frizzy factor, but there are so many products out there that can help with that. There are gels, mousse, hair spray, sea salt sprays and more.
A smart decision if you have curly hair, could be less shampooing, and if you need to do this everyday, at least use a sulfate-free type of wash. This is because sulfate seems to treat curly hair especially pretty harshly, so taking this out of your everyday routine may show you a difference in your hair. Also conditioning is extremely important, because without it, hair frizzes much easier.
Another tip for curly hair, is any products you do plan to use in your hair for the day, the best time to do this is right after your shower, when your hair is extremely wet. The more you touch your hair when it gets to a dryer state, the more frizzy it will end up. If you want your hair to be dried quicker, use a diffuser. After applying a heat-protecting product to your hair, diffuse your roots first, moving down to the ends last. Hairdressers have stated that this is smarter because your ends are usually the most dry section of your hair, so by starting with your roots you are giving your ends more time to air dry.
Great products for curly hair is any type of curl defining creams or mousses. If you want a natural beach wave type of curl to your hair, sea salt spray is a good product and very healthy for your hair as well. There are also curl styling irons you can use if that is the type of curl you want. Hair wands, curls, or wavers work nicely, but always make sure to use a heat-protectant for your hair before you put any heat to it.
These are just a few tips that can help either tame or define curly hair.
A really great website to use for further hair information is Allure.com

How would you use the sea salt spray?
So with the sea salt spray, would your hair have to be wet or dry?
This is actually very helpful. I never normally curl my hair, considering mine is naturally really curly, but it helps explains how I could define my curls more and I will make sure to be extra careful with putting in heat protection products before I put heat to my hair.
Have you ever used the sea salt spray and if you have do you thing it would work good on pin straight hair like mine?
