Stretching my natural curl.....

[kristina]

Hi ladies,
I did a cw yesterday and it dawned on me that i like my natural curls but want my hair not to be as big and I want the curls to remained defined after drying. I was wondering if I could get some ideas on how to stretch my curl out a bit. I have heard of people brushing with a denman while wet, shake
n go (I think I'd have a BAF if I tried that) and diffusing- any specifics on how these techiniques are used plus any others (+ product info) would be much appreciated. TIA.

There are some tips in this thread:

I would also recommend using a good leave-in gel type product (like the Fantasia clear gel, Jessicurl rockin ringlets, etc.) and diffusing with a blow dryer on a low setting. Grab some hair, stretch it a bit, while blow drying with your diffuser. Don't touch your hair TOO much.

Also sleep with it in a hiiigh ponytail--that should help stretch a bit. Good luck!
