If you have them, you either love them or you hate them. Christy Nelson, a top at Regis Salons who specializes in curly hair-care tips and tricks, has some great advice, especially since she also has a head full of natural curls. Check out Christy's Curly Cues for keeping curls looking great all the time!

Curly Cue #1: Curly hair needs more moisture than straight hair.

Condition, condition, condition! Apply a daily leave-in conditioner to damp hair before blow-drying and use a curl re-constructor twice a week to keep curly hair healthy, hydrated and manageable.
Regis Product Pick: DESIGNLINE Olive Oil Leave-in Conditioner

Curly Cue #2: Big mistake - Women with curly hair shouldn't flat-iron their hair every day.

Take a day off in between by not washing hair and only touching up with a flat-iron where it's needed. Always use a product to protect your hair from heat-styling damage.

Curly Cue #3: Fight the frizz-don't fight the curl.

In rainy or humid weather, work with your natural curls by applying a product that offers frizz control and curl definition. Then let your hair air-dry or blow it dry using a diffuser.

Curly Cue #4: Thinking of embracing the short-hair trend?

Curly hair shrinks up when it's cut, sometimes up to three inches. Keep this in mind when talking to your stylist about the length you want.
