Answer 1

buy an extra large tub of petroleum jelly at your local dollar store. get a nice sized chunk (2 tbs) of it and rub it all into your hair. get a bristle brush and slick your hair down and then use a lot of mom's hairspray to ensure that the hair stays put. tada! you are now in control of your hair!

ps. if you run out of petroleum jelly, you can use some of mom's cooking oil or lard as a temporary replacement.

Answer 2

My hair used to be like that too. My problem was that I wasn't letting it be natural. I was always straightening my hair. Now I just let it be. It sucks at first because you have to train your hair. But in the end it is well worth it. After you get out of the shower, scrunch your hair with a towel, and do not brush! Brushing makes it really frizzy. Just use your fingers to comb through your hair. Also try a serum I use Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine. Another important thing not to do is, don't shampoo every day. Maybe every two days, and only shampoo your scalp. You don't need to do all your hair, when you wash it will all run down. And condition your hair religiously. In a couple of days your hair should be yours and manageable.

Answer 3

Your hair is very dry. And you dry it even more by strightening with iron. Your hair needs moisture to relax and get rid of the puffiness and the frizz. For this massage your scalp daily with olive oil and/ or honey. This will moisturise your hair and thus make it much more relaxed and manageable.

Be sure to wash off the oil completely in the morning.

Answer 4

When u wash it try deep conditioning ur hair(leave the conditioner in for about 10 minutes) then rinse it out,or try a leave-in conditioner.Use a blow-dryer with the comb on the end and run it through ur hair. (I use olive oil spray sheen and spray it in between blow-drying while the hair is a little wet).And last, try ceramic flat irons.

just try out different products....a straightening cream and blowdrying might do the trick. you probably should talk to a person who knows a lot about various hair products and can look at your hair.

I think you should stop straightening it and get a haircut.Then use some Catwalk TIGI curls rock serum.It helps alot.

Though there are many causes of of frizz, it occurs when the hair's cuticle (it's outermost level) becomes "roughed up". Normally, the hair's cuticle is smooth. A smooth cuticle will appear shiny and leave hair tangle-free. When the cuticle layers are roughed up, the strand becomes dull, prone to tangles, and creates the dreaded condition known as frizz.

Frizz can be prevented simply by using the proper shampoos and conditioners. Most hair problems can be remedied by switching to the right products. Shampoos work by opening up the cuticle layers, releasing dirt and residue caused by pollution, and build-up caused by styling products. For the cuticle to be opened, a product must have a basic pH (by basic, I'm referring to the opposite of acidic. If it's not an acid, it's a base. You remember that from science class, don't you? Of course you do...). Conditioners work by re-sealing the cuticle, and should have an acidic pH. Many store-bought products have a pH that is too harsh for many hair types. If you must use store-bought, look for shampoos that claim to be "hydrating", these products will help hair maintain a healthy moisture balance. Try to avoid over-shampooing, as this will contribute to making hair dry and over-stressed. By shampooing every other day, and using a good, professional conditioner as needed, you'll be on your way to shiny, healthy, beautiful hair.

Humidity is also prone to make hair do strange things. Your hair is very sensitive to moisture. You may have noticed how youre hair appears frizzy on humid days. This is because your hair (which is dry and in need of moisture), becomes "thirsty", and it will try to absorb the water molecules in the air.
Another way to avoid frizzy hair is to let your hair air-dry as much as possible. Heat damage is a major cause of frizz. Never, ever, blow the hair completely dry, and when it comees to choosing a blow dryer, more power does not equal better results. 1600 watts is plenty! In the salon, we use the blow-dryer to remove about 90% of the moisture, leaving the ends (which are sensitive) slightly damp. On hair that is likely to frizz, I recommend using a large-barrel curling iron or straightening iron to smooth out the hair. By smoothing hair that is slightly damp with a large iron, it becomes similar to the way an iron removes wrinkles from clothing.
Whether you air dry, blow-dry, or curl your hair, the benefits of using a smoothing serum can never be overstated. There are many products out there to smooth frizz, and they come in many forms, such as liquids, gels, waxes, pomades, and creams. Smoothing serums, which look like clear, syrupy drops, usually contain silicone, which smoothes the cuticle and gives tremendous shine. The downside is that using too much product at a time can make hair look and feel greasy. A few drops will be enough for even the longest, thickest hair. I prefer products in a gel form, since most people have a good idea on how much product to use. My favorite is a product by Graham Webb called Stick Straight. It was developed to temporarily remove curl from the hair, but I find it works wonders on long straight hair, men's hair, and ethnic hair types. I apply a small amount to damp hair, then blow it dry. After curling, I emulsify a small amount of dressing wax by vigorously rubbing it in the palm of my hands. Then i smooth down any fly-aways or frizz. Instead of wax, you can use a grooming cream or liquid smoothing serum. My preference for a wax is a pomade called Hair Play by KMS. Another good wax is Back-to-Basic's Green Tea Dressing Wax. For those of you who prefer drops, try Glass by Redken. By smoothing the hair in the fashion I have just described, you can attain that stick straight sleek look, as worn by celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Selma Hayek, and Cher.
For those people blessed with curls, apply a frizz-control gel evenly through damp hair and leave air-dry or blow-dry with a diffuser attachment. A good gel to use is Control Freak by TIGI. It also has a great smell to it, as most of their products do.
Keep in mind that hair should be trimmed every six to eight weeks to remove dead ends. While split ends, technically known as trichoptilosis, differ from frizz, they can also make otherwise nice hair appear fuzzy, dull, and lifeless.
