Question

Answer 1

apply a styling product and then blast it with a blowdryer in the direction you want it to lay and hey if all else fails spike it!!!! individuality is hot!!!!!!

Answer 2

There is a product by J.Frieda Anti-frizz it's ok and I have exactly the same problem and have tried it all - the 'anti-frizz' products are just so drying and you always have to blow dry ...I just wanted to let my hair 'be' with its natural waves...and I have found that a super tiny spot of baby oil (Johnson & Johnson) is what really works and does not dry out your hair - but only a tiny dab - another way to apply is to take a small washcloth make damp with a light spray of water (or wring it to dry after wetting it) and sprinkle the tiniest of baby oil on it...and put over your head and 'brush your hair with the towel' (pulling downwards) this is all without using a blow dryer. You will be surprised at how well this works,,,,but be careful not to douse / soak yourself with gobs of baby oil....it is a very subtle de-frizzer and with your own experience you will know how much is too much...also the 'hair straightening products' seem to 'flatten' but like I said you still have to use a blow dryer for optimum effect.....J. Frieda makes that too.

try these tips...... they relle work!!
Hair Wash

The best way of washing hair is with Aritha and Shikakai Powder. It does not have any chemicals or any other side effects. Aritha and Shikakai powder is available at any General stores or even a banyan shop.

Shampoos

Dry Hair - Egg, Herbal shampoo or any shampoo for dry hair.

Normal Hair - For normal hair fruit shampoos or henna shampoo is good.

Oily Hair - Lemon Shampoo

Hair Oil
Oil your hair at least once in a week. If you have dry hair then oil it twice a week. Hair oil gives the necessary moisturizers to your hair. Herbal hair oil provides you the necessary nourishment along with the moisturizers.

Hair Conditioners

Henna

Henna conditions and colours your hair.

Dry hair - Add some milk, water and 1-2egg yolks in henna. This mixture will not dry your hair and will make it soft and manageable. Apply it monthly.

Normal to Oily Hair – Add water, lemon, egg yolks in henna. You can apply Henna fortnightly.

Home made conditioners

Add ¼ cup of vinegar in ½ bucket of water. This will give a good shine to your hair. Mix curds and egg yolks together and apply it for 1hour.
Hair Tonics

Try tonic Hair Oil’s powder - Put 4 tsp of this powder in water, boil it and after cooling down apply it on hair. This will stop hair loss, rejuvenate and nourish your hair.

Hi.

How often do you wash your hair? You shouldn't wash your hair daily. It will reduce the nature oils in your hair and cause breakage. Try sleeping with a do-rag and using a show cap when you wash.

When you do wash your hair, do it at night so you can have time to apply a hot oil treatment and comb it back. Then apply do-rag so it holds the hair into place while you sleep. It should keep form in the morning.

Answer 5

Nothing short of getting it permanently straightened will make it stay "unpoofed" forever. I have hair that tends to poof so i wash it at night because then it can air dry. Using a hair dryer (especially if you are rushing) will just cause the hair to poof more. You can use straightening serums, but I've had no personal luck with them. My clients swear by John Freida's frizz serum, but again no luck on my part. Garnier frutics' sleek and shine works well for me too. http://www.garnierfructisusa.com/

Answer 6

You can apply a light gel to control your frizz or use and anti frizz shampoo.

Answer 7

Lots of super strength hair gel.
