How to Style Poofy Hair
Put down that flat iron! It's only making your poofy hair worse!
Steps
1. If your hair naturally curly, you should stop washing it with shampoos that contain sodium laureth/lauryl & ammonium laureth/lauryl sulfate, they dry out the hair terribly, making your hair puffier, and bigger.
2. Use a wide toothed comb to detangle hair when wet.
3. Use a good moisturzing conditioner.
4. If you can, try not to use silicones, they build up on the hair, and you need sulfates to remove them, which dry out your hair. Any ingredient that ends in -cone or -xane is a silicone. (Some common ones are dimethicone, cylmethicone, and amodimethicone. Amodimethicone is a lot easier to remove)
5. Use a a diffuser if you blowdry your hair.
6. If you do shampoo, use ones with ingredients like these: Apricotamidopropyl Betaine and Cocoamidapropyl Betaine. Activate makes a good one.
7. DON'T TOUCH YOUR HAIR WHILE IT'S DRYING! Touching it will make it frizzy. Plus, it will make your hair expand.

Tips* Don't flat iron your hair, it's one of the worst things you can do!* If you want your curls to look a little looser, try putting a clip at then end of it while it dries, it weighs it down.* Try getting the book, "Curly Girl" by Lorriane Massey, it's excellent.Warnings * Don't put the blow dryer on high because sometimes the diffuser will pop off and could hit your head. Always use the warm or cool setting.
