QuestionI have short hair and I would like to achieve soft tight curls, how do I get these curls?Community AnswerIf it's not your natural curl pattern, then you're going to have to manipulate it into the shape you want. Use curling items that fit the type of curl you would like. If it is your hair type naturally, use some deep conditioner by Shea Moisture And TGIN (Thank God I'm Natural) or leave-in conditioners.
