i have poofy hair, but i use Aussie mousse/leave-in conditioner on wet hair, and it reduces the poof. don't ever blow dry your hair without something like a protectant, or a diffuser.

Blowdrying curly hair?

don't blow dry curly hair if you don't have a diffuser. What you can do is let it air dry and scrunch your hair. What you do is

Wrap your hair in a small towel. Don't rub your hair at all with the towel. Comb your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through your hair and make a part as best as you can.Spray hairspray in your hair. Put it near the middle and bottom of your hair. Put gel in your hands and rub them together to spread the gel. Grab a small handful of hair by the ends and push it up toward the head. Hold it in place for a few moments while aiming the hair dryer at it to 'set' the gel/mousse/hair spray. Repeat this all over your head, reapplying the gel every time. Keep in mind that small handfuls yield tighter waves and large handfuls create full, loose waves.

Also leave in conditioner will often tame frizz as well as john frieda's frizz ease products.

If you want it straight you could use a blow dryer use a heat protectant!! Pin up the top section of your hair and use the round brush to blowdry your hair. Hold the hair sections out taut and point the hairdryer down to dry it. Do this section by section, so that your hair is completely dry. You may want to then dry up the hair, from the neck to the end of the strands. This makes it easier to get the hair on the back of the head.

If you have decided to use a hair straightener, put your hair into sections again, and run over your hair with the straightener. You can use a shine spray in the end.

Dear Whoever Wrote This,

I am sorry, but I have,like, short term memory loss and I forget your name and I am too lazy to go check. I have super curly hair as well and so does my friend. I hate it soooooo much when my hair is poofy, but its life. (have you tried FrizzEase???)

What I do is comb my hair while I am blow drying and comb it in to the style I like. Or... some advice... braid your hair at night and it is soooooo much easier to manage in the morning. So... Good Luck Fellow Curly Head!!

Toodles,

Serena

Blowdrying curly hair?

OOH! I love your question! I have curly hair too. I agree that it gets VERY poofy.=D But I use a special shampoo by Herbal Essences called "none of your frizziness" I don't really notice a change, but I use it anyway.

I do blow dry my hair, and I flat Iron my bangs, (If you don't have bangs, just flat iron the front part of your hair.) I put the rest behind my ears, or if it doesn't fit, i put it behind a headband.

Then I use a leave in conditioner, or a shine serum (don't use too much, it will make your hair greasy) I recommend the shine serum and leave-in conditioner from Garnier Fructis. It eliminates poof and frizz. I also use hairspray, and I brush it through to make it smooth (It helps with the frizz, but you don't have to use it.)

I hope my advice helps! =D

If you don't have a diffuser, then invest in one, you can get a nice one for under $20 at Sally Beauty Supplys nationwide and some that would even fit the blowdryer you already have. Try using gels that contain NO alcohol like Softee, Proclaim and Ampro protein styling gels, these are cheap but good (availabe at Sallys, walmart, doller stores etc.), they are brownish in color but will not stain anything. Alcohol in any form is very bad for your hair, it will dry it out and cause more damage and frizz in the long run then it controls short term. Do not use mousse, mousse will make your hair frizz more.... the only people who should use mousse are those who WANT to have poofy hair. Also try a good glossing polish/frizz eliminator like Proclaim Glossing Polish (available at Sallys also for about $6) or Garnier Fructeise also carries one but the Proclaim is much better and will last longer. When blow drying use a medium or low setting unless you are using a diffuser. You can try putting your fingers across the blowdryer to make an impromptu diffuser until you can get one. Also have your hair trimmed regularly, atleast every 12 weeks. The average person grows 1/2 an inch of hair in 4 weeks so if you trim off about 1/4 of an inch every 10 - 12 weeks you can grow your hair out if you want and at the same time keep the dead and dry ends off and that will help lesson the "poofyness" alot. try using a smoothing shampoo and conditioner, they won't take out your curl but will help hydrate them and make them lay better. Take a good multi-vitamin and massage your scalp on a daily basis, these will help your over-all scalp and hair condtion.
