I strongly dislike my thick curly hair. Its always frizzy, and when I get around to straighten it, it takes about 30-40 minutes and isn't thin enough for my liking. I wouldn't mind my curls at all if my hair was thin, but since it's thick I can't stand it. I know I can never have thin straight hair {which is what I wish I had}, but I just want to beable to do normal things without my hair freaking out. For instance, swimming. I love to swim, but my hair is always nasty and gross looking/feeling when it drys out. I want to beable to go swimming, get out, and it dry thin and curly; not thick, curly, and frizzy. I've tryed getting my hair thinned at the salon, but it doesnt really help me. I've also tryed layers, but that gave me even more volume! Im looking for maybe a shampoo and conditioner that make your hair thinner. If anyone knows about one, or anyother way I haven't tryed that helps, please let me know!

I have thick curly hair and I use Dove shampoo and conditioner in moisture rich or the new Dove system in the dark blue bottle. It works wonders on my hair. Do you use leave in conditioner? If not try Sunsilk 24/7 cream for frizzy hair the green bottle. I love that stuff. Also try using coconut oil, it helps tame down my frizz and makes my hair supper soft. And apply some gel one that helps ease the frizz. And don't get despair over hair, love your curly locks. Hope this helps. Good luck!

NO! Do NOT Thin your hair, thinning only works for straight thick hair, what will eventually happen once you thin it is the hair will continue to grow and because some stands will be shorter that others your hair will poof more.. I have thick naturally wavy hair.( I am Mex/American.) What I do is get a razor cut, make sure you go to a good salon because the wrong person can ruin this cut. It is a complex way of cutting. So go get your hair razor cut, then at night wash it, straighten it before bed, then in the morning run I use a conair dryer that includes a comb so it blows and straightens at the same time. With the hair being dry all you are doing is polishing it. Then you are off for the day. It takes me about 5-10 min. At night, yes it takes about 20min. But the cut makes all the difference, if you ask the stylist to razor it in layers so it kinda flips out at the tips it will look fantastic. Unfortunatly curly hair is too complicated, timely and hard w/ thick hair. I prefer straight, and daily I am complimented on my hair. Its so shiny after the polish in the morning. I use Tressume shampoo for dry coarse hair, and conditioner. After its straighted I use alittle frizz control balm they make as well. You just need the right cut, and products. Do not wash your hair every day either! This will dry it out and make it dull and more poofy. So good luck!

Honey, how THICK your hair is depends upon the number of hair follicles on your head, and on how coarse your hair is. I think what you really want is for your hair to be less coarse - not have all your hair fall out.
Other than having it chemically straightened there is really little you can do with wet hair left to dry naturally. You certainly need to be sure you use plenty of conditioner. There are some straightening products out there in shampoos and conditioners but once you get in the water, all bets are off. In those situations, just pull it back.

You can't change oyur haird no matter how you try, it is always going to be your hair. But you can layer it so it's thinner. Hair is always nasty after swimming. Use better shampoos and condition it. Ask a hair stylist if they have any tips. I think there might be a way to straigten it that will last a while at least. But it is probably really expensive. Best of luck!

you need to find someone that cuts curly hair that will thin it properly. I have alot of hair but it is straight so i get it thinned and you probably need to have more taken out. try a different stylist or salon. and as for after swimming i am sure you add lots of conditioner. My daughters friend has curly hair and she uses mousse to control the frizz and constant trimming helps.

How can you not like thick hair? All the best looking women in the world have really thick hair, like Shakira, or salma hayak, to name a few. Work with what you've got, dont try to make it something its not. And most people are pretty hard on themselves. I am a guy and i have straight hair, but after i go swimming my hair frizzes out too. I think alot of peoples hair frizzes out, but its not as bad as you think. We always think our hair looks worse than what it is. If you are really self conscious about your hair after swimming, but put on a baseball hat. Girls always look sexy in hats and it keeps your hair from sticking out all over the place.

I remmeber when i was younger, we avoided using Salon Selectives (i think) shampoo because for some reason we thought it made your hair shed more often. LOL, silly girls. but you could try it!
