girls with thick/wavy hair................................?

Question

what do u do with or your hair or what products do u put in your hair after you shower?

Answer 1

i wash my hair with an expensive shampoo and conditioner, then i spray in a leave in conditioner after towel dried. but i also straighten it so its not wavy and outta control

Answer 2

So, I got a horrible perm, which damaged my hair. I do have thick hair.
I use Redken Extreme Anti-Snap. I also use Thermasilk leave in conditioner. I found these to be the best "conditioners" if you will. My mom prefers Suave products though. I heard Garnier is good too.
I also use Design Line Curl Mist because it tames the hair and adds a good look to my wavy curls. It is a scrunching gel. It is soft and so it does not feel hard like other gels.
I don't think these are really expensive and they can be found in a hair salon. Some can be found at like WalMart or something. If you can afford more expensive products, ask a hair stylist about Redken treatments and Paul Mitchell hair products.
I tried Cat Walk Curls and I didn't think it worked well. It may work for you but it was $20.

Answer 3

Well my hair is thick, and lately it's been drying like perfectly wavy after i shower. But, if it doesnt one day, I put it in a lose, low ponytail. Another thing i do is putting it half up, but leaving hairs in the front. So it is kind of messy, but very pretty. I dont like to putting products in my hair, though, because I want my hair to stay healthy.

Answer 4

Well I dont wanna waster your time by saying that I only use Ganier Fructis products, but I guess it depends on what your hair needs. If you've got the split ends then get a split end treatment, or root lifter. I have thick wavy hair as well, and I have to say their products are the best. My hair is always so soft!

Good luck sweetie.

Answer 5

my hair is very thick. After a shower I put straightening balm and leave in conditioner in it, I also try not to brush it, which makes it poofy

Answer 6

I too have fairly thick and wavy hair, and discover that the purely thanks to have it straightened completely is to pass to a salon. yet i have given up with attempting for the instantly-hair seem. include your loopy hair and verify out instead to make it curly. an easy thanks to attempt it truly is to sweep it after a bath, positioned an outstanding sparkling styling gel in it, twirl it into six sections and enable it dry obviously in one day. positioned a touch more effective hairspray/gel in it interior the morning. it is going to seem incredible! possibly no longer the reply you're searching for yet often times it truly is sweet to admit defeat.

Answer 7

I wash it with dove advanced therapy and use dove conditioner. I blow it dry with a big round barrel brush and use a flat brush on the ends. It's the only thing to get all of the waves out and to tame it. I annually get it professionally straightened, it does wonders!

Answer 8

I usually use a leave-in conditioner to tame my hair. That way there aren't any 'fly-aways'.

* How to Manage Thick, Coarse, Wavy Hair *

Some of us are plagued with hair that just seems to want to make you look like you just got electrocuted. Here's how to make peace with your hair.

Steps
Grow your hair long. The length will weigh it down, which will help stop it from making you look like Medusa.
Stop washing your hair every single day. Give your natural oils a chance to work their way from your scalp down to the ends of your hair. That oil helps smooth your hair and give it shine.
Use conditioner, and lots of it. Apply it mostly towards the ends of your hair, and let it sit there for several minutes, perhaps while you lather up or shave your leg.
Brush your hair regularly when it's dry. This also helps distribute your hair's natural oil.
Purchase oil for your hair, like Lotion Motion #9. These products are often found in the African American hair section of a drug store or supermarket. Alternatively, you can use vegetable or olive oil.
Place a few drops in the palm of one hand, rub your palms together, and apply the oil, starting from the ends of your hair. Use the oil scarcely, or else you'll end up looking greasy! Eventually you'll learn just how much oil you need to make your mane shine.
Get those ends trimmed regularly.

Tips
Avoid blow-drying your hair straight. While it might look sleek and nice, it damages and dries out your hair. It's a vicious cycle. You straighten it, that dries it out, which makes it look worse, which makes you want to straighten it again...
Change your brand of shampoo and conditioner periodically.

* How to Care for Thick, Wavy/curly and Very Dry Hair *

Curly hair tends to be the most challenging of all hair types. Here are a few tips that should help!

Steps
Remember that hair is a fiber and must be treated like a favorite sweater: No wringing, tugging or brushing when wet (this one's a big "No-No"!). Squeeze moisture from hair after shampooing with an absorbent towel and comb.
Keep your hair trimmed regularly! Even 1/4 inch a month or every six weeks makes all the difference in the health of your hair. If you are trying to let your hair grow out, nip the ends for health just the same. You will still gain length! Hair that is allowed to grow untrimmed will eventually start to break at the ends from wear and you will lose hair as fast as it can grow.
Naturally curly hair screams for moisture. Layer light products at every stage in your grooming process rather than using one heavy product at a time.
If you have very curly hair and want curl definition, try Redken Ringlet or ArTex Texture Spray. Both of these are excellent products and won't make your hair feel sticky. It is best to air-dry to minimize frizz; if you must, use a diffuser attachment on your blowdryer at a medium to low setting.
Finish with a moisture lock-out spray, such as Matrix Sleek Water Free Lockout Spray. This will help protect your hair from humidity and make your style last longer. You may also try a smoothing product, such as Redken Glass (for coarse hair only, too much oil for finer hair), Matrix Glow Trix, or TiGi SpoilMe.
Do not use a flat iron on a daily basis. Ironing causes a circular problem- your hair is curly/frizzy so you straighten it but the heat causes even more frizz, so you straighten in more or use more heat. Round and round you go. Please, if you must flat iron, try to follow these guidelines:
Buy a good ceramic flat iron! If you have spent less than $50 on your iron there's a good chance that it will not be of a good quality and may cause damage to your hair.
Make sure your flat iron has a thermostat. Start with your iron on medium (thermostat to halfway) and adjust until you are using minimum heat necessary to straighten the hair.
Always use a heat-absorbing product between your hair and the iron! Use ArTex Cream or, for hair that is more coarse, Redken Heat Glide. Never put an iron on hair that is unprotected!
Straighten minimally. That is, if one section of your hair is more curly than the rest, such as at the hairline, try to straighten only the "problem" areas and use a good ceramic round brush to straighten the rest to minimize heat exposure.
Never straighten bleached (chemically lightened) hair or hair that has been lifted more than 3 levels with color! It will melt.
Once a week, or every three shampoos use a heavy treatment, such as Redken Butter Treat or Deep Fuel to help minimize breakage and encourage healthy growth.

Tips
Invest in good tools. Ceramic brushes, available at any beauty supply store are wonderful allies for fighting frizz and adding volume.
Always comb, rather than brush, hair that tends to frizz , and never brush wet hair. It's at its most vulnerable when wet!
Talk to a professional about which products are best for your hair type. Don't fall for the hard sell! If you feel that they're just trying to reach their sales goal for the week, walk away. Any real professional will spend as much time with you as you need without making you feel obligated to buy.
Love the hair you have! Everyone has some problem with her hair. Don't make your hair the barometer for your day.

Things You'll Need
Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, OR a shampoo/conditioner containing dimethicone/silicone for smoothness.
A good leave-in treatment, such as Biosilk.
A a finishing product to lock out humidity and add shine.
A heavy weekly "treat" for extra moisture.
Ceramic tools.
