I need help with thick, frizzy/poofy hair....?

Question

I'm in the marching band so my hair is weather-worn. Its also wavy/curly, but the waves don't really stick together...they're just kinda...everywhere. I always wear it in some kinda pony-tail (either half or whole) but thats about all i can do with it...I straghten and put it in braids sometimes but I'm goin into high school and need new ideas for my thick, impossible hair along with tips to tame it...i know thats a lot but please help me....

Answer 1

Get a cut from a good stylist that can thin it out a bit and layer it...then use some anti-frizz serum and use a hot iron to straiten it in small sections and then use a finishing spray.

Answer 2

If a hairdresser suggests it, try getting it layered. If not, there are curl-friendly styling products. After you shower, rub in some Paul Mitchell Super Skinny. It'll help tame the hair. Also try Aussie's Sprunch spray. It really helps in developing curls. Always use a conditioning shampoo. And, use a wide-took comb instead of a brush. Be sure to set your style with a quality hair spray.

Marching Band can always be hard on hair, especially with practicing in the sun, wearing awful hats while in dress... ugh. Good luck!

I have problems with frizziness too. This is my hair regimen to get rid of it! (If you look at my avatar….you’ll see that it really does work!!). Good luck! =)

1. Choose a shampoo or conditioner by looking for the words smoothing, moisturizing or hydrating on the front of the bottle (I use Pantene Pro-V for dry and damaged hair).

2. After washing, towel dry and apply a smoothing or frizz serum (I like John Frieda’s Frizz Ease…found at most drug stores).

3. Let hair hang dry until it is almost fully dry. When almost dry, finish drying with a blow dryer while using a round boar-bristle brush (work with small areas at a time – do not let your hair blow all over the place, otherwise it will just become more unruly).

4. Make sure your hair is completely dry. If there is anymore moisture left it will become frizzy.

5. By using a 1-1/2 inch (or larger) curling iron or a flat iron, you can smooth out any left over frizz.

6. You can also apply a hair wax (like Bumble and Bumble Styling Wax) or pomade (like Got2B Defiant Define Plus Shine Pomade) now.

7. Finish off by using a flexible hair spray (like Finesse’s Touchable hair spray).

* Get your ends trimmed up at least every 6 weeks.

Answer 4

You could try longer layers,which might take some of the bulk out. Mine's the same way,and I prefer to cut the curls off,much easier for me. The Frizz Ease line of styling products work well,as do Studio Line also has some for curly hair. One tip,put some gel in it while wet,comb it through,then don't touch it again. The gel will hold the curl,and keep it from frizzing so much. If you brush/comb it while it's drying,it will make it frizz more. Perhaps shorter than it is now,but still long enough to pull back. Hard to give style info without seeing a person,but good luck!!

Answer 5

Get a flat iron - a ceramic, 25-heat setting that's 1-inch wide. It really makes your hair smooth and straight. But it can be damaging, so don't use it all the time. My hair is shoulder length with some layers. I wash my hair, and then I blow dry it . I spray on a protective coating. Then I section it and flat iron it section by section You have to keep it moving over your hair, from root to tip. This will last two days. (so i just wash my hair every other day.) Ask your hairdresser what she recommends you put on your hair before you flat iron it to protect it! You will love your new straight hair; on days that you don't want to wear it your naturally curly/wavy way. It's nice to be able to do both!

Answer 6

I know exactly what you mean! My hair is crazy and has a mind of its own, without all of the stuff I put in it. After washing your hair try a Pantene Pro-V conditioner. It helps my hair with frizz and fly-aways.

If you want to go curly:Towel dry it a little bit and comb it out. While it's still wet use Herbal Essences' Totally Twisted Curl Boosting Mousse. It helps keep curls together and pretty. Then to make sure they stay together and not frizzy, I put Garnier Fructis Curl Shaping Spray Gel. To top that off I "crunch" and blow dry my hair.

If you want to go straight: Blow- drying it in a room that doesn't have humidity in it helps A LOT with frizz. And before you start straightening it make sure it's completly dried. After you straighten it, put a little bit of hairspray on it, just in case.

Have fun in high school! :)

Answer 7

I think the pony tail is probably your best bet. I recommend Aussie 3-minute miracle conditioner for the frizzy/poofy aspect. Also, if it poofs out too much, have your stylist use some thinning shears on it to give it a little more texture and less volume. Hope this helps.

Answer 8

Congrats on going to high school. Im a Junior. Maybe you should seek professional help and get a relaxer or a perm. But never try to do it on your own. You could make your hair go from impossible to invisible. Good luck babez. Make sure you look beautiful with it though. Muahz.

Answer 9

A French twist is always easy, even with wild hair. With a side part in front, it will look even more sophisticated. Try using Garnier Frucits Spray Gel...it holds great without making hair too heavy or stiff.

Answer 10

I had somewhat thick hair. I in basic terms have been given a pair layers. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it did help to make it experience thinner. I nonetheless have problems with Frizz although, so stable success there. additionally using thinning scissors rather make it thicker, stylists in basic terms use them to mixture layers. As for the hair loss of life: test. in basic terms a warning although, in case you return to a decision you do unlike dark hair colorings it takes a mutually as to flow lower back.
