HELP (curly, thick and frizzy hair)?

Question

i have very thick, curly and frizzy hair i have tired everything to get it smooth and shinny iv tried serums, creams and iv got the thick ghds but it takes me about 2 hours to get it strait does anyone have any answers.

Answer 1

It might be all the creams and stuff you use on your hair?

I have naturally thick curly hair also what I do is not brush my hair when it is dry. If you do I think there is a special comb for curly hair. This may sound strange but brush your hair in the shower after you wash it instead of waiting to brush it after your shower (I figure when your hair is damp and watter is still pouring on it the curls will group up....causing fewer but larger curls and smooth looking also when dry. Unlike if you brush your hair after you shower (while it is still damp) the teeth on the brush just separate the curls making more..causing a frizzy mess when it drys.)
Another tip is to get your hair layered to where it isn't as thick but it will be still be curly (if you hair is thinner it will be easier to straighten it careful not to get too many layers)

Answer 2

Ok here are some things I've done cuz I have the same problem....

1. NEVER USE SHAMPOO!!!!!! Use Pantine's Smoothing 2n1 Shampoo n Conditioner ONCE a week!!!!!!

2. Use Pantine Smoothing Conditioner EVERYDAY. Makes ur hair like silk. Put it in and shave and stuff in the shower b4 u rinse.

3. When you get out towel dry (not too dry tho) and put 3 or 4 pumps of Garnie Fructise Sleek N Shine Serum through ur hair with ur fingers.

4. Put it in a tight ponytail and let it dry.

5. Take out the ponytail and use a SEDU flat iron!!!!!!!!!! This is the secret!!!!!!!!!!! The sedu is THE BEST straightner in the UNIVERSE!!!!! (its $119 bucks at Ulta but it is worth every cent)

6. Figure the best way to use the sudu (most ppl start at the bottom of thier head n work their way up.

7. After straightening DO NOT USE bristle brushes. Use the kind with BIG spaces n plactic bristles.

8. Spray with Motion's Oil Sheen n Conditioning spray. It makes your hair SO shiny w/o ANY greasyness. (you can find it in the African American section at walmart or walgreens)

I HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!! Its taken me A LOT of years to find a process that works and this NEVER fails!!!!!

Try, first off, using a shampoo specifically made for curly hair or one that says it tames frizz. My hair is the same way and those types of shampoos (Tresemme, salon quality stuff) or even the cheap VO5 or Suave shampoos work great. Don't use conditioner and instead find a really good after-shower serum at a salon or do an oil treatment using regular cooking oil (corn or canola) after your shower. Put the oil into a squirt bottle and put 1 1/2 to 2 squirts of it into the palm of your hand. Rub it all over your hands and then flip your hair down and run your hands through it. Brush your hair and then wrap it in a towel. Wait about ten minutes and then towel dry your hair, brush it again and then let it air dry for the last few minutes. It may take you a while to figure out how much of the oil you actually need to add body and tame frizz without making it feel greasy but it beats paying high prices for one-use oil treatments and does actually work. I do it every night.

Answer 4

as a fellow curly chick, after a lot of time and plenty of disasters, i keep my hair in great condition by the following:
a) use twice as much conditioner as shampoo and never wash it entirley off(although be careful not to leave it greasy!) once a week use an intensive oil treatment or baby oil under a hot towel for 15 mins if you can't get hold of one.

2) then use a little leave in conditioner, i love tigi's ego boost.

3) then i put on a serum, i use more than reccomende but you'll have to play with the amounts for your own hair. when you buy a serum, feel it first on your hand it should feel pretty oily and not watery. most beauty wholsalers have a good range and will give you good advice.

4) don't colour often, let you hair dry naturally and resist the urge to use any heat on very often, i may blow dry or tong my hair no more than twice a month.

I hope this helps, my hair looks fab and feels soft and lush with this routine:)

Answer 5

I had the same problem as a teenager. I've noticed as I've grown more mature, it is straightening some on its own - but not enough. Assuming you don't want to wait, or that yours won't be enough either - go to a professional and have it straightened. It works for me, and I can't tolerate spending oodles of time on it. The most I have to do is flat iron it, curling the ends a bit at the same time after shampooing. If your hair is short, you can try a straightener yourself that you find at a Beauty Store - like Sallys.

Who wants to spend their entire life on their hair? Feel lucky. When I was a girl, straighteners weren't strong enough for my hair. They make great ones today!
