know what, i recommend straight long hair... makes you look thinner!!! it's the perfect combo....anyways, if you wanna keep it straight... here are tips..
1. Conditioner for oily hair
I have naturally oily, straight hair and I used a shampoo with conditioner and then applied a leave-in conditoner to prevent static. It worked! I used mousse and a bit of hair spray and was static-free almost all day.
2. static....
i get static hair all the time...for short releif of it, use a dryer sheet. i dont know what it is that helps but it does! don't use it for very long though.
3. Moisturizer for hair Rebecca Featherston
Several years ago I was introduced to SEBASTION Potion #9. This is a leave in hair moisturizer, not a conditioner. It's used in place of, after you shampoo. Use it regularly throughout the winter months and you will notice a difference!
4. Winter hair rejuvination Rebecca
Get your hairstylist to color your hair with REDKIN SHADES...this is a conditioning, non-peroxide color wash, you can brighten your hair color by using the shades and mixing with clear to tone down to an acceptable level for your taste. This is a great treatment for the wintertime, it brightens your hair, and deep conditions it at the same time. You'll be hooked after one treatment!
5. Fly Away Hair
If you are having trouble with fly away hair try this. Rinse hair, after shampooing, every now and then with a good liquid clothes conditioner. It greatly cuts down the static in your hair.
6. Surefire Success
Keep your hat on till spring, maybe early summer.
7. To Fight Static...
I have super long (3 1/2 ft. from crown to tips), super thin, super straight hair and static in the winter is a nightmare for me. I have learned 3 good ways of combating it however. #1 Keep a trial size bottle of a leave in spray conditioner with you at all times (you can buy these in drug stores for pennies). #2 Run a dryer sheet over your hair. #3 Spray something like Static Guard over your hair (this may stink but it's effective).
8. Smooth Hair
My stylist told me that when you rinse out your conditioner, you should use colder water. When you look at a piece of hair under a microscope, it looks like the shingles of a roof. When you use colder water to rinse out your conditioner, it closes those "shingles" and makes your hair smoother.
9. Better hair
Before showering, I comb my hair one last time. This helps to distribute the natural oils in your hair. When in the shower, I usually comb my conditioner into my hair paying special attention to the tips because this is where your hair has less moisture. When I'm done I usually blast cold water onto my hair. This helps with keeping the hair moisturized since it closes the hair shaft and it makes your hair extremely shiny.

You should get your hair flicked it's very nice on short hair or lots of layers.These styles won't make it any shorter but just change the style and looks really nice.You should go on to yahoo and type short hairstyles and you'll get alot of websites to choose from and will give you lots of photos and you can see if theirs any you like.

OK.First follow my steps for a cute style!
1.Brush hair until straight.
2.Put two dots of conditioner on hand.
3.Use one dot for top of head,and other dot for bottom.((don't rinse))
4.Take half of your hair(scalp side) and put it up.
5.Take the other half(bottom side) and curl it.
6.Then the part that's sticking out from the scrunchies,curl it too.
7.Then put hair spray for a perfect finish!
8.Enjoy hair and have a cute 10 min hair style

curl you hair. use either your sraightners, bendy rollers or velcro rollers. velcro rollers would be best if you have thick hair. try doing the beehive look by "slightly" volumise the top of your hair and tying it up with a hair band that matches your hair colour.
play around with your hair and try different way yourself.

well since your hair is thick you could probably take some spray gel after you get out of the shower when your hair is wet and scrunch your hair to make it kinda curly/wavy. its quick and easy. hope this helps

you could curl it and then pin it up at the back,you are very lucky to have thick hair,you can have it curly or straight and it should take well and stay put,good luck!

the same as me - the best way to get away with hair like this is to have it thinned out - you keep the lenght, yet it is lighter and easier on you to cope with. experiment with curlers etc or go extra wild and have it braided!!

get some curling irons and have a got at spiralling you hair when you go out, that can make your hair look really good.
