My hair is very thick and curly and i live where it is humid. I want it thinner, but I don't want the friz from the extra humidity. I go back and forth from very dry, to very humid, and in both places, i could have the frizz. Any suggestions?

Please do not let anyone razor your hair in order to thin it.....It will be frizzy then. In order to thin someones hair who has curly hair your just going to have alot of layers in it or have the hairstylist use thinning shears.......it is a pair of scissors with notches in them. Tell them to part off your hair and go underneath the hair in certain parts using the shears.....never let them do it at the surface of your hair....then you will notice it. If i were you i would try to find a master hair designer and ask questions about her or his experience in curly hair. Also notice the way the hairstylist keeps their hair.....if its curly then ask them if its natural and if it is they would know out of all how to take care of curly hair......hope you get a good experience in your haircut....i am a hairstylist and also have curly hair VERY CURLY.....so i know how bad haircuts can be. Also....you can solve the normal frizz with a anti frizz serum from redkin and or hot curly hair by hot sexy hair products......if you cant afford salon products go for one at walmart.....try to find one humidity proof or moisture proof.

for a second there I taut that was me. it's the exact description of how my hair WAS. i did two things to my hair. so u can pick one....i first went to the hair dresser and asked them to thin it out. they use the scissors in a different manner. it works well. then i was still not quite satisfied because my hair was still frizzy and bushy esp. when it was humid. i then went to a special hair dresser who does the japanese hair straightening. my hair became a permanent straight (i just have to go bak once or twice a year to do the new growth). it's not frizzy anymore. and it looks thinner because the hairs are much flatter on the head. not many places do the japanese straightening, but i live in NY, so there's plenty of places here.

My hair is also really thick and really curly. The more conditioned it is, the less frizzy it will be. Moisturize it when you shampoo, moisturize it after [leave-in] ; deep condition at least once a month [if your hair is damaged, once a week] . Find a gel for frizzy hair to style [gels will work better than moose]. But shampoos and everything for dry hair. Good luck.

Leave it like it is, trust me. Mine is thin and curly and I have a lot. I get flyaways sometimes because it is so thin.
But, if you want it thin, you could use a mild relaxer.
If you leave it curly, when you wash it, don't rub it with a towel. The best thing you can do is patch or blot dry.
Curly hair shouldn't be combed either, after you come out the shower. Just comb it to detangle when you put on the conditioner.

Have it razored into layers, and then use anti-frizz serums. They really do work, straightened or not. I have thick wavy hair and I use anti-frizz stuff all the time, it really helps. I live in Florida and there's TONS of humidity.
Don't use Pantene. The shampoo is REALLY harmful to you hair, because it strips it. The conditioner gooes in and puts wax in all the stripped areas of your hair, so it feels smooth and silky, but its really getting more damaged. Use Dove.

Have your hair thinned on the under layer and use a ceramic curling iron or straightener to get rid of the frizz

Hi... I have the same prob. I got the Pantene Smoth and Silky shampoo and that helped. It gets rid of the frizzies and weighs your hair down a tiny bit so it doesn't seem as thick. Give it a try! Worked for me.

We all want what we don't have. Do you know how many women would love to have thick, curly hair? I don't have any suggestions for you, sorry. I just had to point out that you have a 'problem' many would like to have.

use hair gloss when you get out of shower and reapply a little after styling hair. pantine and bio-silk have great hair gloss products. make sure you rub just a small amount in palms for bout 30 secs before putting on hair cause if too much then hair looks greasy
