Big curly hair in need of help?

Hey, I have very very think and very curly hair, I never know what to do with it. It is about shoulder length and when I wear it down, it looks like it is going to eat my head by the end of the day. I straighten it sometimes, but it takes a long time and in Florida, never lasts the whole school day. What should I do? Thanks

I have thick wavy hair too. It takes me almost 2 hours to straighten it so I just go with the curls. I use a light conditioner after I shampoo. A lot of people don't use conditioner, but if you do that with curly/wavy hair, it is bound to frizz because it is more dry if you do not condition it.

My solution? Use a combination of humidity resistant products. I found these great products through trial and error.

I swear by Matrix Curl Life Body Shaping Foam. I also use Tresemme Tres Two ultra fine mist hairspray, it fights frizz for 24 hours, trust me I use these products and go out in the rain and humidity, and my hair does not frizz or poof out even a little. They won't make your hair greasy either.

cut your hair in almost a bob style...my best friend has the same type of hair and she cut it to about chin length (it looks like an afro) is really cute and sometimes she puts a bow in her hair

also to tame it she uses styling mousse that focuses on keep your hair "moist"

I have the same hair

Sometimes I straighten it too but that does get boring after a while.

This is what I do sometimes: I wash it and while its stil wet I put lots and lots of gel in it, then let it dry(then my whole hairdo feels like ironwires) and then I go to sleep. The next morning the hair is still curly but it's not thick anymore and it feels a lot lighter, it's not so "afro" anymore. You should try it!

at night, or if you're alone for a day, wash your hair, tuck it into a hat, let it dry in their and it wont be puffy.. it's the friendly way to straighten hair, and if you wanna keep it that way, put moose in when it's wet
