Im African American with African American hair how do i get that wet, wavy curly look.?

Well i wanted to make my hair have that wet, wavy look without using mousse because i heard it stiffens your hair. I tried wetting my hair, braiding it then taking it out. it works but it's to puffy and afro like and doesn't last very long. Can anyone help me out to get my hair in this way? Please and Thank You!!

you should never use pantene...just to get that out...ya mousse does stiffen your hair, but gel doesnt..and neither does spray gel, so go to th store and get either herbal essences gel for waves or go to a salon and get curl life spray gel(its nothing like hairspray or mousse)

I reccomend a spiral perm which is around 鎷?0 in a hairdressers and lasts for years! I hoped this helped thanks x

best bet would be to use a textures found in the same place you buy box relaxer sets.....they work almost the same way but the results are curly hair instead of straight!

Is your hair Relaxed? If so, the braiding thing works out well, aside from the puffiness it seems, so change the products your using. Try using a curl creme. It's has more of a lotion conistency and won't make your hair stiff and 'crispy' but it'll take down some of the puffiness and give you hold.

If your hair HAS NOT been relaxed within the past year or so, you can get a curl reformation where they basically perm your hair with rods. Also known as a Geri-Curl. Now not all geri-curls have to look like Little Richard's hair...lol Use larger rods (probably orange) for the wet and wavy look.

Another option if your hair is not relaxed is to use a flat iron and straighten it all with whichever products you prefer, then spiral wrap it on some rods or curlers and mist with water. Let it dry completely again and finger comb the curls.

Hope this helped!

Shea butter works for me.

I just love using it after I wash my hair.

Also consider doing henna treatments which help loosen the curl pattern. It's totally natural too.

Good luck. ;-)
