Answer 1

I have thick wavy hair too!! So does my best friend. She got her hair relaxed... not to expensive for how long it lasts and how good it makes your hair look! :) My hair is in a ponytail almost everyday too lol
I am thinking about getting mine relaxed... it just pretty much makes your hair smoother and easier to do whatever with... straighten, curl.
A cute hairstyle i like to try... don't know if it will work because i don't know how long your hair is but here is how you do it....
bring 1/2 your hair up but DON'T use a brush when you pull it back just go by your ears and pull it back from there. let it look like its bumpy and not perfect or even or w/e. then take a pony tail and wrap it around the pony tail once... the 2nd time only due it 1/2 way and then wrap it around again so that it kinda makes a messed up/upside down bun. then with the hair that is down... curl it or straighten it.
another cute way that i kinda just do my hair on mornings that i am running late... if my hair is straight then i kinda do a simple messy french braid in the back. you don't start at the top... just above where your hair is on the back of your hair (you don't really have to french braid) just start there with a regular braid then braid til the end.. if your hair is long enough... do it at kinda an angle so you can let it hang over one shoulder... do it loose cause then its really cute!!

feel free to e-mail me if you have ANY questions [e-mail]

Good Luck!!!!!

i forgot to mention this... but you should get your hair cut to your shoulders or a lil longer and get layers. That way... its easier to deal with, thinner and you can still put it in a cute ponytail when you want to :). That is how my hair is now! I just don't like taking the time before school to do my hair all cute and stuff. And i play golf so its always in a ponytail for that. Anyway.... just a cute haircut idea.
Good luck

I have thick, wavy hair too, and I always wanted my straight. Since I don't look good with short hair, I wore it pretty long, and usually pulled back in a ponytail. If I wore my hair down, I usually washed it, and just let it air dry. I never brushed or combed my hair when I wore it this way. It is so curly that it will dry with ringlets in places.

I finally gave in and got a shoulder length cut, and bought a straightening iron. I bought one for about $28.00 that has ceramic plates on it, made by Revlon or Conair.

I liked the style so much I got it cut just a little shorter a couple months later, to just below chin length. It only takes me about 5 or 10 minutes to run the straightener thru it, and this smoothes out the waves and improves the overall appearance. The haircut and change of style was one of the best things I did for myself!

I like curly hair too. Buy a curling iron to curl it, go to target and get a cheap one i use a 5dollar one from claires. You can curl it with a straightener too, you just put your hair in the straightener holding the straightener horizonily. THen you twisht your hair around the straightener and it should come out curly, or if your patient and this is old school, buy those really cheap sleep in curlers, the kind you just pin your hair in and go to bed then wake up with cure curly hair. I like wearing your hair in a half up with your bangs back, by the way bangs are a must for cute hair. Also curl your pony tail for a preppy cheerleader look. I think your hair should look fine if you just straighten it and wear it all down, just make sure you dont have your hair plastered to your head so dont use hairspray, try gloss instead. Good luck

-Read the book and visit the sites below about curly/wavy hair. I did and my once horrible curly hair is now virtually frizz-free ringlets. Now I get compliments on my hair all the time! Straighten your hair- be happy for a day, learn to manage your wavy hair- be happy for life!
-Use a shampoo low in sulfates or one that contains none at all such as Devacurl's low poo. Some health food store have organic shampoos with no sulfates also. Sulfates dry out wavy/curly hair- it can be found in laundry detergent!!
- Use a small amount of shampoo (every couple days) on scalp as normal and rinse. Then spread conditioner on the outside layer of hair and the hair at the nape of your neck. Gently comb tangles out with your fingers or a wide toothed comb and rinse with cold/cool water.
- Do not brush/comb your hair after this point because it wil disturb the curl pattern (make sure you already have a part). It is also important to use gel on sopping wet hair and scrunch the hair with your fingers. Use a towel or paper towels to gently scrunch some of the water out. Then let your hair air dry or wait ten minutes and then use a blowdryer with a diffuser. Do not touch the hair while it is air drying or it will frizz!
- Experiment with different products because everyone's hair is different. I would reccomend a light hold gel and a leave in cream or condtioner. Use a moisturizing conditioner, such as Desert Essence Organics Italian Red Grape Conditioner (found at health food/organic stores). The combo of products that I use daily is Garnier Fuctis Sleek and Shine Leave In Cream and Aussie Tizz No Frizz Gel, but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites.
- Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This takes 2 to 4 weeks begin working.This is hard to do if you don't read the book, or at least visit the websites. Naturally wavy hair can be beautiful! Hope this helps!

Answer 5

Well, there is regularly the part ponytail. That's how I constant my hair whilst it was once that quick. Have you ever attempted placing it up in a claw? It's been awhile considering the fact that I visible that. Maybe simply pulled again with a few brates. Maybe you might ask you are beautision what she thinks. I understand what it is like discover ing out what to do along with your hair on the legnth. Good good fortune!

Answer 6

Well, if you have extremely or kind of thick hair, get it cut and layered. And get it cut short enough where you CAN'T put it in a ponytail. Then, if you want it curled or waved naturally, use gel or mousse and scrunch your hair. If you want to curl it, just use a good curling iron (Conair is good). If you like it straightened, just do that! Good luck!!!!!
