Caring for your Curly Hair
Curly hair can make you look sexy and sassy, but when it gets out of control and frizzy, you’ve got yourself a hair problem. We consulted the blogosphere and found you some interesting articles and video to help you manage your gorgeous curly hair and look stunning! What’s Your Curly Hair Type? Andre Walker, Oprah’s hair stylist, has created a curly hair types system, which NaturallyCurly readers have adopted and modified. They’ve put together handy charts detailing the different types of curly hair, as well as added some recommendations and curly hair tips for all types of curls. You’ll find information about all the curly hair types! This classification system gives you facts and tips on how to care for your curly hair. (We don’t love their use of the term “kinky” to describe the curliest hair…we’d rather think of it as “passionate” hair).
Advice by Andre Walker and Hair Product Recommendations
Recently, Elle Magazine interviewed Andre Walker:
Your motto is “Make peace with your hair,” but on hot, humid days, it can be more like full-on war. It’s common sense, but you should know what your hair does best and not try to make it do something it wouldn’t naturally do. Fifteen years ago, Halle had shoulder-length hair that was hard to control because of its curly texture. I could straighten it and make it look great for her in the salon, but she couldn’t do anything with it at home. She wanted something easy that she could handle, so we came up with the short cut that’s now her signature look. I always recommend embracing your natural texture. Kinky hair can have limited styling options; that’s the only hair type that I suggest altering with professional relaxing.

Hola Jorgelina,
Thank you for visiting New Latina. We are in the process of making New Latina available in Spanish! Would that be of interest to you? or a family member? We would love to know.
Gracias!

Oh, great! I speak English, so I have no issues, but I’m from Argentina, and I know a lot of people who’d love to have info on curly hair and hair care but can’t read English, and there’s so little info on the internet in our language!
Thanks for your reply, btw!
