Passé are the days when straight hair was considered to be stylish. Now curls are the in thing. And if you have some natural curls then nothing like it. When you were young with head full of curls then you looked adorable. But to your horror you find that as you grow, those cute soft curls have become totally unmanageable and frizzy. In fact the other day you looked like Medusa!

So what do you do now to get that adorable look back?

Well, you need to shampoo your hair and remove tangles with the help of a wide toothed comb. You must also use a good detangling product. Since curls tend to be frizzy naturally you need to take extra care of curly hair as compared to straight hair. You must use a shampoo that is free of sulphate formulation. You can wash your hair every alternate day but you must ensure that you use a conditioner on the days you do not shampoo. Since curly hair is very frizzy, you must go for a moisturizing treatment at least twice every month. You must also let your hair dry naturally as and when it is possible to do so.

In an interesting experiment, french biophysicist Jean-Baptiste Masson practicing at the Ecole Polytechnique in France proved that curly hair gets less tangled than straight hair. In the two fold experiment, he consulted hairdressers and asked them to count tangles in hair of people with straight hair and curly hair. On a theory level, he formulated a geometrical hair.

The week long study threw up remarkable results; straight hair got tangled two times more than curly hair. Masson explained the results using the geometrical hair he had developed. Though straight hairs interact less with each other vis-à-vis curly hair but straight hair interacts at steep angles that cause tangles.

Masson who’s specialization is biophysics, said that this finding could help in making significant advances in Velcro like technology.
