Most of my friends can release their hair from a ponytail and it is just how it was before they tied up their hair. Why is my hair dented once it has been tied? If your hair does that what texture is it? Do you have any suggestions? Also, how do you grow out broken hairs? Does it take time? My broken hairs turn into a bunch of frizzies. Most serums I have tried includin John Frieda frizz serum,frizz-ease and many more don't work that well. How does the rest of the world keep their hair smooth and shiny. Do they ALWAYS straighten it?Thank you for your help!!!!

I have hair exactly like yours. It's thick, wavy, and has a tendency to be coarse and dry at times, especially in summer's humidity. Here's how I tame the untamable.
When you put your hair in a ponytail, don't use elastic bands. I use those scrunchie things, which don't leave a tell-tale dent in the hair. Also, there are clips and barrettes that don't pull the hair quite as tight, but keep it off your face and neck. You can also use a scarf or ribbon to corral the mane.
Broken hairs are usually the result of rough treatment. I use one of those vented brushes -- the ones they used to call wig brushes. The bristles are much kinder to the hair and don't cause as much breakage. Also, never brush your hair when it's wet, as it is not as elastic, and more vulnerable to being stretched and broken.
Don't sleep with your hair in rollers, especially brush rollers that can tangle and break the hairs.
Keep the ends of your hair trimmed frequently, even if you're trying to grow it out, or if your hair is long. Broken and split ends eventually split all the way up the hair shaft.
Condition your hair after every shampoo to eliminate tangling and breakage when you try to comb it out. Start combing at the ends of the hair, and gradually work your way upwards. If you start at the top and comb down, you'll undoubtedly snarl the hair.
After shampooing, blot the hair dry with a towel, rather than twisting and scrunching it.
The serums are only designed to work temporarily -- they are not a cure.
It takes patience with hair like ours, to get it shiny and smooth. Thick hair always has a tendency to be unruly, so you have to work with it, but work gently.
I hope these hints will help. These are the things I do, and I'll have to admit, I dread shampooing my hair. Some times it's an all-day venture of washing, drying, conditioning, combing out, putting up, drying, taking down, and fiddling, pasting, preening ---my hair is super thick and almost to my waist. But it will be worth the effort. One last word: Girls with thin, flat hair envy you. Trust me!

You can't grow out broken hairs, you just have to trim/cut it. It's a myth to say you can heal split ends. As for the dented hair, I use the thin bands that look like rubber bands but are not. They come in black, clear and maybe brown color. They don't tangle my hair and also don't dent it. I also use smooth serums to help keep it shiny. You should try a thicker conditioner maybe, a good one is Redkin all soft products.

I call those "pony lines." With thick hair, they're almost inevitable. I have thick hair as well and haven't found a good way to avoid them except for only pulling my hair through the band twice instead of three times -- but that method isn't perfect and my hair falls down more often. Next time you get your hair cut ask if your hair's texture would allow it to be thinned out. It may not help with the creases in your hair but thinning your hair may make it more manageable.
You can't really grow out damaged hair. The trick isn't serum, it's keeping your hair healthy and free from damage by using a conditioner that's appropriate for your hair type and avoiding hot styling tools. Products that are seemingly innocent may actually be drying to your hair. It really depends on your hair type. Serum has its uses but the best fix for frizz is to keep your hair moisturized.
If your ends are broken and split, get them cut off and ask your hair stylist to suggest new products to help you with your hair. You may also be able to talk to the stylist about what parts of your hair routine may be damaging to your hair.
Work with your hair, not against it. Embrace your wavy hair, please. Girls with stick-straight hair are most likely jealous of the body your hair has!

You may be tying it back too tightly. As for the broken ends, short of cutting them off there is no product that will keep them from frizzing. Try keeping the ends healthy, lots of conditioner. Try the restorative treatment from Ojon. It's pricey, but it really keeps the hair soft and shiny. When you tie your hair back, maybe make a loose braid, that way you won't have just the one dent, but you'll have pretty soft waves when you take it down.

Get yourself a flat iron- it only takes a few minutes to iron out the dents and it also tames frizzies. I love mine!

My hair is always straight. It used to do that a lot. I changed shampoo and conditioners to Suave. Maybe if you change then that will help. If you already use Suave I dont know what to tell you.
