to curl or not to curl?

[purteeyes]

DILEMMA! i never can decide to curl my hair or not. i have curly hair so when i do i need to blow dry it first,which takes forever! then i either use a curling iron or hot rollers,but niether of them really work. my hair looks good the first 15 mins then it falls out,even though i use hair spray and what not...i always see girls with the nicest curled hair.

can anyone help me?

whats your reason for blowdrying first? is your hair naturally curly? because if you are doing it for frizzies... maybe you should look for a product that controls frizzz? I have naturally curly hair... so what I do is I detangle it... but in an antifriz "lotion" and then braid it... i blow dry just the top so it smooth and shiney... and let it loose... whenever its done if i want it more "done" i put hot rollers on the end and use flexible hair spray

Yeah why blowdry and use hot rollers when your hair is already curly?? Just use a curl enhancing product and scrunch it dry...

Have you ever tried using just a diffuser to dry it a bit and using a curl defining creme such as Curls Rock from TiGi? You can take small sections of your hair and wrap them around your finger for a more defined spiral as you dry, too. There are so many products out now that will really bring/define out your natural curls and it sounds like you are just creating a hellish frizz mess for yourself by blowing it out then trying to recurl it.
