i have thick, wavy hair, that goes boofy..?

Question

i usually straighten it (GHD, works a treat), but coming up to summer i want to be able to just leave it.. i LOVE how my hair looks when wet, messy curls and not boofy, but as it dries, it goes insanely boofy etc, i want to know if there are any products that i can use that will make my hair stay how it looks when its wet?! if that's possible!!!! without losing the curl (so i can swim and not worry etc!!)

Answer 1

hi, i have very curly and thick hair too and this is what works for me:
i wash my hair with any conditioning shampoo (change shampoo every month), then i put on any conditoner and leave it on for 15 min.
after rinsing, i use any hair serum that doesNOT contain alcohol, all serums are more or less the same, as long as they contain no alcohol,
i comb my hair and then when my hair is half dry i use products like dove deep replenishing hair cream, aveda elixir, Fructis definition and bounce cream and let it dry naturally
good luck!!

Answer 2

I have the same hair. Don't get it cut short because I now wake up looking like I have stuck a fork in a power socket!! Try sunsilk curl booster gel. It comes in a tube from any supermarket for around $6. I found it to be good because its not to heavy and sticky on your hair.

Answer 3

Curlz Rock by tigi, or the cheaper version Noodle Head at Sally's beauty supply. Both will define the curl and hold it. You will also need a spray in leave in conditioner to go on before and some light -medium hair spray.

Answer 4

My hair is just like yours; if you're not swimming, use a leave-in conditioner that will keep the curls soft and looser. For swimming, it's hard to keep a product in your hair, but hair gels are the best for water.

Answer 5

to give your hair a wet, beach look, while keeping your curls, make this oil mixture to run through your hair.

2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons jojoba oil
10 drops ylang-ylang essential oil.
shake well to compined and store in jar.
