There are as many types of hair as there are people on the planet. For those of us with curly hair, however, caring for our hair can sometimes be quite challenging. There are a million hair products that promise the moon to those of us who are blessed - or cursed - with curly hair, but all too often they don't deliver. Here, then, are five tips to turn troubled tresses into comely coifs.

Combing and Brushing: Tangles and curls seem to go hand in hand. To bring out the best in your curls, a wide tooth comb or pick is a must-have. If you're working with curly kids hair, separate it into sections. One section at a time, start at the bottom of the hair shaft and work your way up. Once you've completed a section, secure it a covered elastic hair band (not a rubber band!), and then move on to the next section. Remember that curly hair - particularly Afro-American hair - is very fragile, so take extra care when combing it. Avoid brushes, unless you use special detangling comb-brushes.

Naturally curly hair is gorgeous, and the trend in hairstyles is to let your natural curls shine through. Simply keep in mind that curly hair is as individual as its owner, and that the hair products you use can mean the difference between luxurious curls and kinky hair or frizzy hair. Once you find the hair products that are right for you, love and embrace your natural tresses.
