Meet Tiffany, the Curl Whisperer

Called "The Curl Whisperer" by her clients, Tiffany Anderson is author of "Live Curly, Live Free - Unlocking the Secrets Behind the World of Beautiful Curly Hair." Tiffany is owner and creator of Live Curly Live Free salon at 2914 Beach Blvd. South in Gulfport, near St. Petersburg, Fla. She can be reached at (727) 323-2875 or info@livecurlylivefree.com. 

As a girl with curls herself, she knows firsthand the problems associated with curly hair because she's battled the same problems her entire life. And, unlike many stylists, she understands the importance of cutting curly hair dry so the curls retain their individuality, knows certain ingredients in most common shampoos and conditioners are a recipe for disaster for curly hair, and believes virtually anyone can learn to style their curls so they are soft and flowing―not wet and crunchy―and will hold their shape without frizz.

How Many Strands Do You Have?

Who has the most hair? Typically, blondes average the highest density, with about 140,000 strands of hair. Next are the brown-haired ones, with 110,000; then black-haired with 108,000; and finally redheads, with only about 80,000.

Understanding your hair density (which refers to strands per square inch) and the hair type (which has to deal with the individual strand) can help you choose the right products and the right cuts and that can make all the difference. We explain all that in Live Curly Live Free: Unlocking the Secrets Behind the World of Beautiful Curly Hair.

If your hair is fine but thick, for example, the texturized razor cut works. But try that on fine thin hair, and the look could be disastrous.

For products, gels work best on very thick hair, because they help minimize the volume; and mousse works better on thin hair, because it helps add the appearance of volume.
