what is the best way to manage incredibly thick, ugly-wavy hair?

Question

Straightners take forever, and It damages it. I'm a girl so I don't need to know how guys manage their hair.

Answer 1

i have got stupid fizzy hair, wavy.. but not very and i hate it. blowing your hair takes up too much time and anyway..... once it touches water.. it's gone. you can try shampoos ... i have ever since this shampoo that is all black and it says that its for straw like hair.... and alll those. it probably works. and you can try using wellaform. It sort of keep yo ur hair in place. if you keep using that, your hair willl in a few weeks at least be not so wavy.. worst come to worst... do reborning... definately will have straight hair..... as straight as yu can imagine. but it spoils your hair... that's what my mum say.
for me... i try to make my waves as neat as possible.

Answer 2

I'm in same boat as you girl. I use moisturizing shampoos/conditioners. It sounds gross but because thick hair is usually more dry, only use the SHAMPOO about once a week. Also, rinse the conditioner out with COLD water... it closes the hair shaft and keeps some of the conditioner in. Don't use a hair dryer as heat will cause frizziness and damage. While the hair is still wet you can experiment with different products like curling balms or antifrizz serums. Air dry. Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

ok, so i have curly hair that tends to dry out if i don't use a good shampoo/conditioner. People think that using a leave in conditioner or mouse helps. In reality, those just cover up the real problem. You need a good shampoo that enriches your hair and a conditioner that softens it. Try some of the products in the Pantene line or run through the hair salon and get advice from the hair dressers. good luck!

You need to talk to a good stylist, they will be able to cut your hair in a manageable way without taking off the length.

My cousin had the same problem, and I saw his hair cut by a professional, and it did not look like the same head of hair after wards.
It was smoother, less poofy, more manageable, looked calmer, and you could not tell the hair was uncontrollable before the cut.

The woman used absolutely nothing but a pair of scissors to do the trick!

Hi. My daughter has a mop of super thick blonde-brown wavy hair. It is a nusiance if I don't put a deep conditioner in it and tie it back. Best results have been wash, condition, semi dry and put in more leave in conditioner and comb with a brush and either french plait or tie back and clip. then for a sleek look once almost dry, undo hair, brush again and use 5 min straighten spray before hair dry or mousse and brush straight and put in pretty clips.
What ever you do use good conditioner for smooth sleek hair. Love your hair, it is you! All the best,

Answer 6

I suggest using a shampoo for thick hair and most of all, go and get your hair thinned. They use special scissors to remove more hair to allow it to be more manageable for you. No one will be able to see any difference in your hair style-wise, but you will definitely feel a lot lighter and you will be able to style it a lot easier.

I have some sites below that have addressed the issue too.

Answer 7

First of all you proably look beautiful, but we are our own worst critic. I gaurantee if you grew up with straight thin hair you'd hate it. Ever solution damages. There are shampoos that will do it slightly. Keep your hair one length, the heaviness of the hair will weigh down the waves. On the other hand layers would be easier to straighten and less knotts, (Most of the time.)

Answer 8

I know Go the Shower wash with shampoo, when dry Brush it till its back to normal then you straighten it it will go perfect.. but straightners cost alot so GOOD LUCK!

Answer 9

you can get it relaxed. i get it done every three monthes, use plenty of conditioner if you are going to get it relaxed, it can damage your hair but only if you over do it. you can start with a mild relaxer initially, if you get your hair dyed, it is also a mild relaxant but doesnt last as long.invest in a good flat ceramic iron, like a chi, i find that works well too.

Shave it off, a la Sinead O'Conner. Or just accept that is the hair you are meant to have.
