My DD has super curly hair and mine's, well, not so I am clueless on how to do something with it. So how do you style curly hair? What can you do with it? Esp. when its attached to a wiggly almost 2 year old?

i use the hair dryer then put some clips in it or a hair tie on the top of her head. we are only able to brush her hair after the shower because its too curly but after that we blow dry it. she screams and cries when her hair is being done but they will get used to it eventually

Hey hun

Use a wide toothed comb, and comb it carefully, use detangler spray as curly hair gets knottier than straight/wavy hair. Dont use a lot of conditioner on her hair either as it can make curly hair go fuzzy. But like Kylie said if you're going to blow dry it use the diffuser attatchment and have it on a warm setting so her hair doesnt get damaged. But pref dont used a hair dryer or products on a babys or childs hair as it can really damage it at a young age :)

Just tie it up into pig tails and have little flowery bobbles or a hairband with bows on :)

oh yeah and if your going to dry it with a hair dryer use the diffuser attachment. add a little product and hold the dryer with one hand and scrunch her hair with the other and you get beautiful bouncy, defined curls.

i have curly hair, use a wide tooth comb not a brush, its easiest to comb while wet so either use some spray in leave in condition or comb her hair after her bath then add some cream leave in condition. get her to shake her head after its brushed so the curls fall naturally then it will dry and it wont be frizzy.Then u can pin back her fringe and add clips if she wants. you can also brush it back into a pony tail and it will dry straight with curls at the ends. My daughter hated having her hair done at 2 and it was fine and dead straight..so good luck!:)
