Clumsy with frizzy hair. I need help to look presentable and neat for the new school term?

Question

I believe the first day of school should go smoothly, and not having started off the wrong foot.

I've just turned 15.
for the past 2 yrs of high school, I've felt clumsy and uncomfortable with myself.
Now, I've just 'blossomed' which technically means, I've broken out from my 'clumsy' shell.

I have thick, black, bouncy hair, which people love; but I don't know how to take care of it. It needs constant brushing to keep it frizz-free.When I'm in school, I don't have the time to visit the toilet that often. How do I tame my truly untame hair? (gell gets my hair oily!)

I'm not stick skinny, and I feel clumsy. Sometimes I feel like I walk like a chicken. Can anyone give me simple tips to prevent myself from utter humiliation? Also, I tend to raise my voice and laugh with a big mouth.I'm much better than 2 yrs ago, but How do I behave like a proper 15-yr-old?

P.S : Don't tell me to 'be myself' because I am, I just need to be taught right before I grow into my 'clumsiness'

Answer 1

I can't help you with the awkwardness of growing up, but I can help you with your hair.
Don't use gel unless you want to have crunchy hair. Try a smoothing cream. There are several out there in different price ranges. The creamy texture of the product will help tame all the frizz. (I personally like Potion 9 from Sebastian. It's a leave in conditioning cream that makes curls crunch together and softens the hair all day long.)
Don't worry about being clumsy, there's nothing you can do until you grow out of it. You probably still have your childlike habits because you are still a child. There's nothing wrong with that, don't grow up too fast.

Answer 2

Well, in the first place I want to tell you that wavy hair is beautiful and men love it! I know because I have wavy/curly hair and that was one of the things that my husband loves. But..I can give some advice on keeping it straighter, not much you can do about the humidity, its always going to give you hell (it does me) but what helps is not washing your hair like crazy, if you have wavy/curly hair the more you wash the more you deplete the natural oils that actually keep your hair smooth, and straightening it with a heating iron tears hair up! I'd say only shower when your hair feels like it needs it, and then in between put your hair up in a towel and just wash everything else. Then, when you do wash it, only wash your scalp, that way you get the dirt but won't damage the ends. Then during the week when it gets really frizzy, I use either egg yolk or avocado as a hair mask, you leave it on for as long as you can (a few hours or more is good) then take your shower. And when you shower, use a thick creamy conditioner and leave it on the ends, and put your hair up in a towel for a while. This improves it even further. If you MUST straighten your hair (my hair has been a million times better since I quit doing that) keep it short, as short as you can handle and it will be easier to take care of. Good luck!

Try letting your hair dry wet. Shape it with your fingers and don't brush it at all, it might look better that way. If it still frizzes use a product like Dove anti frizz creme.

About your chicken walk, try yoga. It centers your awareness of your body and you become more graceful.

As far as laughing loud with a big mouth, what's wrong with that? I do it all the time and people find it attractive. I think. Well if they don't they can take off anyway.

Answer 4

A hair straightener. It can straighten even the most frizzy of hair. All you have to do is slide it down your hair, and it looks fantastic.

As far as your walking goes, you're just too self concious. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the way you walk. I just to think the same thing about a year ago actually.

Answer 5

If you have wavy or curly hair, brushing it makes frizziness worse. Trust me on that one. Just get a product thats made to tame frizz. John Frieda has a good time. Its trial and error to be truthful.

Answer 6

There is this stuff that I used when I did a hair show in denver, co and well it's
"MATRIX" color smart. it's a nurishing shine cream that I use for them strays and frizzies! it is step three of the process but I dont wory about them becuase I'm done dying my hair for a while! it is for color treated hair but you can use it as well! or maybe their is a line like what I'm explaining for curly hair as well! in fact I think that there is!

I hope that this helps you! have a good year in school!
