If I just let it dry without doing anything to it, I end up with a lot of frizz and awkward curls sticking off the side of my head.
Try a little (just enough for the palm of your hand) olive or peppermint oil before flat ironing or using a straightening comb. Or there is a brand called Olive Oil, buy medium edge control. I think you may want to switch over to black hair products.
I'm not sure that would work for me, because my hair (as I'm white) is still very caucasian textured and behaves as such. I'm worried about putting oils in because it already gets quite oily. When I say my hair is "curly" I just mean curlier than a lot of other white people, it's not afro hair by any description.
Thanks for the tip though, I guess it's worth a try if nothing else.
I do like my curls if they fall right, I just have to kinda finger comb it and shape it up with a little gel.
