helppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!?

Question

ok my hair is thick curly and it tends to get really poofy as it dries so does any one know of a way to get rid of the poofiness. oh and i also want to reduce the volume of my hair.

Answer 1

Volumous hair can be tricky to manage, but it's also really cool. I wouldn't reduce the volume, I would simply get a shorter hair cut, like a bob. Yes, it will look poofy but also elegant, as curly hair will make it sort of curl up a bit. I tried that haircut a few years back, and it looked fine (I have somewhat volumous, wavy hair)

Answer 2

my hair does the same thing

what i do is mix a little curlcare gel from tresemme with a little frizz cream from sunsilk (the green bottle) and leave-in spray conditioner from pantene, it might take a few tries but you'll get the combination right.

the key to great curls is moisture, i actually heard somewhere that natural curly hair is more dry than natural straight hair is. just condition, and buy shampoo & conditioner made specifically for curls.. the sunsilk is really good.

also, instead of using a towel on your hair after a shower, use an old t-shirt, it makes your hair less unruly and frizzy... i hope this helps a little

Try Paul Mtchell's 'Skinny' it decreases volume of hair. A few tips:
-Get a haircut with some layers, t will help decrease the volume of your hair. Have your hair cut dry and by a good hairstylist.
-You might want to consider getting your hair chemically straightened if your hair is very hard to deal with. Look at a salon near you for details.
-Use shampoo formulated for curly hair to help manage your hair. Herbal Esscences 'Totally Twisted' works well.
- Only use a small amount of shampoo every other or every third day, but condition EVERY day.
-NEVER blow dry or towel dry your hair. Let it air dry or use paper towels, they will help lock in moisture.
-Comb hair with a wide toothed comb a bit of detangling spray while wet.
-Apply a little bit of good quality gel when hair is damp.

Thick, curly hair is definitely hard to manage, but if treated properly, it looks beautiful! Good luck! =)

Ok a bit of time, a bit of gel and some boby pins. Take your hair in small sections not ultra small but snall sections run a tiny bit of gel on that section twist it up and let it dry. If you are not in a hurry sleep that way. No poof. Use a leave in conditioner after the bobby pin treatment and you can get a comb through it. Aussie leave in has a nice shine built in too.

Answer 5

Garnier Fructis Smoothing Milk Works a miracle.

Answer 6

Straighten it with a chi turbo 1 inch or 2 inch, it works like a charm, unless you want the curly hair still blow dry your hair but put heat protection spray on it

Answer 7

To reduce the volume go to a hair stylist, there are specials combs for that issue.

Answer 8

Aussie products!!!!!! Works 100% and smells great too- sun silk is a good one but Aussie is the best- My sister has to use it - her hair is the same too - Curly is in and beautiful if you want an opinion!

Answer 9

My hair is the exact same way.
You could try products specifically for curls.
Certain shampoos and conditioners help curls be mor curly and less poofy.
Also, I use Pantene Pro V stuff for curls. it kinda makes me curls crunchy, but it keeps them from poofing out.

Answer 10

Go to a hari dresser and get layers. Layers thin out your hair. Also after you get layers then buy Sunsilk Anti-Poof Shanpoo and Conditioner. It helps a lot. Trust me :)
