My hair is curly and neither thick nor thin. For my 2013 resolution, I vowed to stop heat styling it (blow dryer, flat iron, and curling iron) every day and just let it do what it wants. It has taken me 8 months to finally accept my curls, and to make peace with them. In return, my hair has been behaving nicely and is much healthier than when I started this last December (I cut all the damage off before the new year).
So, let's start from the beginning of the day. I usually shower at night and then style in the morning.

| I'm surprised my boyfriend has stuck around for 3 years of waking up next to this! |
 |
| Oh yes. Way out of control. |
I start by spraying it down with water.
 |
| Getting better |
 |
| I feel like a lion tamer |
Then I comb out the tangles and distribute the water.
 |
| Sorry for the lack of makeup; I had just woken up. |
 |
| There is hope after all. |
It's product time. I have tried a bunch of different mousses, gels, and creams, but this one is my favorite:
 |
| Marc Anthony Strictly Curls Curl Defining Lotion |
It's even better than most of the non-drugstore products I've tried.
 |
| I scrunch it in |
Scrunch, scrunch, and scrunch some more.
 |
| Get the back. |
 |
| Much better. |
This is the final product after it has air-dried.
 |
| Voila! |
 |
| Curly girl. |
It was raining on the day I did this, so it's a little frizzy. Normally I will smooth some oil (Orofluido) over my hair to tame it a little more, but I wasn't going anywhere and didn't bother ;)
