Question:
How do I select the size of curls I define?
Answer:
I have a bunch of different sized curls all over my head. And for the longest time after I grew out my perm I thought something was wrong with the hair at the back of my head. It wasn't, I just didn't realize my curls were tighter back there. At the top and the middle of my head, my curls are much much smaller and tighter than anywhere else. Around my temples, ears and back of my neck, my hair is just wavy.
Because of this, when I separate my curls and smooth them, I have to make the ones in the curly areas much much smaller than anywhere else. If I don't, they puff up and then mat. Sometimes I put just 20 strands of hair per curl or so.
So my first suggestion would be to make more, but much smaller, curls in the very curly sections, especially if this is where your curliest hair lives. And you can take bigger sections to smooth in the wavier parts. If you try to smooth each curl, this takes into account all the different types of curls, so they each get to do their own thing.
