I pretty much have to wear hats right now cause even flat ironing my hair doesn't help much.

So any tips on making this hair growing go a little more smoothly?

man.. my hair was just as curly when I let it be (it's short now.. and I had it ironed out for Halloween in the picture in my avatar). You are just in the awkward phase right now.. there will be plenty of those along the way.. just start taking vitamins to try and get your hair to grow faster and make sure to get it trimmed at least every 6 months.. sooner if you getting lots of split ends.. other than that just relax and remember that even on the day you hate your curls the most.. the ladies love them :)

best thing is.. with curls as tight as we have.. you can just wash your hair.. throw a hint of product to keep it from frizzing.. and just go.. saves on a lot of time lol.. since it's going to look the same whether you work on it or not :)

You can't really grow out curly hair, it's just something that you are born with. There are no hair creams or shampoos you could use to make your hair straight. Wash your hair every morning, blow-dry your hair, and then straighten. Put a product in your hair that doesn't make your hair dry and helps the straightener from messing up your hair. Get a ceramic hair straightener because they make your hair less frizzy. And then get some wax and put it at the tips of your hair and pinch it. It makes it flair kinda so it's not completely flat.

When you get out the shower apply a small amount of conditioner to your damp hair! Run a brush through it and

shake head

let dry naturally

You are in that awkward stage right now but believe me in

a couple of months you will thank me!

I've done it for ten years no matter what some BS hair dresser
