I can't say I've always liked it, but now I embrace my hair, except when it gets broken and super frizzy. I have my own tips to give with what Ido with my curly hair.
I never brush my hair before taking a shower, I don't ever do that, it breaks my hair so badly and my hair just gets even more tangled.
I keep my hair in multiple clumps by keeping a bit of conditioner in my hair. When taking a shower I put conditioner in the ends of my hair after it is completely brushed out then I lean my head back into the water and let it wash out for about 30 seconds. That tends to get most of it out.
I don't touch my hair during that time at all, then I wrong out my hair without messing up the clumps of hair. Then I wrap it up in a long sleeve t-shirt and keep that there about 5-10 minutes.
After I am done doing this I get a blow drier with a diffuser and dry my hair while my head is upside down.
I really like to use Tressmae mousse. It works very well.
Hope this helps you curlies! Bye!
