For poofy hair, it also helps if you blow dry your hair in an up-ward direction with your head down. biggrin
Hairspray too, obviously. :3 Dop you mean blowdring your hair upside down? Because I do that, and I have to say that it helps alot.
But Tight ringlet curls are really adorable, actually curls in general are great. And if you set the curls (put wet hair into the little curlers and sleep with them in your hair) it won't damage your hair and it will most likely stay in place.
The only problems I arrive at with curls is it is time consuming for people with thick long hair, and I personally can't get curlers into my hair correctly without some assistance.
