How to Make Hair Naturally Wavy

Steps

1. 1
   Despite which method you use to naturally curl your hair, you must first wash your hair. Curls look better in clean hair. Use shampoo and condition the ends of your hair about an inch away from the scalp. This makes your hair lighter so that it is not weighed down.
   
   
   
   • Comb your hair and eliminate excess water by squeezing it out or using a towel. Keep your hair slightly damp. The curls will last longer this way.
   • Add a very small amount (about 1 tsp.) of leave-in conditioner to damp hair. This will help hold your hair in place while keeping it soft and shiny. Flip hair over and apply a curl-enhancing gel.
2. 2
   Curling by braiding. Little braids is one way to naturally curl your hair without the use of a curling or straight iron.
   
   
   
   • The size of the braid depends on the size of the curls you want. The bigger the braid, the less curly the hair. If you want very curly, almost frizzy, hair then make many small braids. If you want big curls, make 4-5 big braids. (more or less depending on the thickness of your hair) Experiment to find out what looks nice and what you like. It's a personal choice.
     
     
     
   • You can choose to blow-dry your hair or let it dry on its own. Either sleep with the braids in or untie them after 3-4 hours. DO NOT comb or brush your hair. This will eliminate the curls.

   Using tiny buns to curl your hair.
   • Separate your hair into about 10 sections with even amounts of hair. Twist each section and fold onto itself to make a little bun. Remember, the smaller the bun, the curlier your hair will be. Take bobby pins and pin the bun in place on your head (this may look strange, but it will ensure your buns will stay put).
     
     
     
   • Spray curls with a smal amount of hair spray and sleep on them over night. In the morning, undo curls and use your fingers to separate. DO NOT USE A BRUSH!

   Every night sleep with curlers in your hair. It may hurt, but we have to suffer for our beauty!
