Oh honey I have the same problem. I'm mixed to, Jamaican and Italian so I have extremely thick hair that has beautiful curls.... but it just poofs too much. I litterally can't wear my hair down because I look like a clown. Let me tell you some things that worked well for me before I got my hair permanently straightened. I used to get my hair thinned. The idea behind this is that they take some hair out at the root to take out some volume. That worked really well for me, but you have to keep up on it or else the new growth will make your whole head look like you've got a fro underneath all of your other hair. I think you know what I'm talking about. LOL The other thing I did was I wore my hair down and went to the hair dresser. I told her to cut my hair dry to shape my hair to be less volumous. I absolutely HATE my hair... it's ridiculous man!!! Finally I just go that CHI permanent straightener. So much easier. Now my hair is soft, healthy and NOT frizzy or poofy. Good luck honey!!

leave-in conditioner is the best for curly hair...maybe try using biosilk as well...it gives you good shine and makes your hair a little more silky instead of course like most curly hair is

dont use spray or mousse, use heavy creams, it will hold it down, or get a japanese straightening... its alot of money but so so worth it!!!!

I have really curly hair. What i do is use a leave in conditioner after showering to get moisture and then add gel and a little hairspray when i style it and it keeps my hair down. Oh and u should also use a hair serum. I use pantene. It gives it shine.

I have curly hair and it always poofs up

What I do is I put in some hair mousse or gel and blowdry it with COLD air,hot air will make it frizz up.

After I make sure it is somewhat dry I add a little more of the product I am using and voila!

you should have non-poofy hair

which we curly haired girls all desire :D

Good luck!

i have really curly hair too.. and i prefer the wet look.. how about you?? well after i wash my hair i would put either small talk by bed head tigi or shimmer curl gel by schwarzkopf and it give me the wet looks.... and also your hair has to be partly wet before you apply any of this and also apply a generous amount of it on your hair.. they help to amplify and enhance curls... well hope this helps....
