What to do with my thick poofy hair..?

I have really extra-ordinary thick hair...I had layers but they kind of grew out so its like slight bangs from the sides...My hairs not that frizzy just poofy because its so thick...


Well I want to do something rather than just sticking it in a ponytail...Some products I have at home are...biosilk silk therapy,garnier fructis anti-frizz serum,mousse(sp?),and other random hair products...I have a blow-dryer and a straightener(which doesnt work too well),and a curling iron(never used).....Any suggestions/styling tips-casual-fancy would be great


Also its about 2-3 inches below my shoulder...if that helps

Reply:go to a proffessional salon, expennsive haircuts have the best quality.





ask for them to cut i above the shoulders and below the chin with small angles and no layers. if you have poofy hair, ur gonna end up having a bad hair day, and the layers will be in all the wrong places. anyways, dont ask 4 layers again!! but ask then to take a pair of thinning shears and thin the hair out dramatically, but tell them u dont want thin hair, u want fine hair. also, get a color gloss, that will help it regain natural shine. i agree, CHI is a great kind of flat iron for the days you want it straight, but if you want it curly, get a small barrell, and a thick barrel curling iron and do valumtious curls every where around you head.








once youve gotton home and showered for work/school, leave the hair wet and apply a shine boost that keeps the hair gorgeous and lightweight. i suggest pure color shine boody with anti fade complex. its in a squarish pink bottle at most good salons. if your having a bad hair day, and dont have time to set out your do', then accesorize, pullit back, but add a funky broach or slick it all the way up to a sleek stylish bun.








hope this helps!!
Reply:My hair used to be poofy. Maybe you need a haircut. Turns out, that my stylist forgot to thin my top layer, so I got this mushroom head look. Maybe you should go to a professional stylist and ask if your haircut was done right, and ask about how to prevent other problems.
Reply:Go see a hair stylist and tell him/her that you would like your hair thinned out.
Reply:Get a relaxer in your hair or get a better straightener CHI is the best, if you want to thin it out go get your hair done and tell them you want alot of layers tot hin it out. and let your hair dry naturally
Reply:We have like, the same hair


And my straightener sucks too.





HA!


Sweet, okay.


Well basically I had really awesome hair once, but it was totally by chance.


I was too lazy to fully dry my hair, so I only half-dried it, slept on it, woke up and I had funky kinky hair.





That would only work if you have straight hair w/ lots of wavy kinks ... it's hard to explain.


:) i'm interested in peoples answers to this question ...
Reply:i have the same hair.... i like to use either tresseme mouse or this extra strong hold mouse at ulta beauty anyway.... i use that and i make sure not to miss an inch of myhiar becuase... believe me people WILL notice.... any way.. after that is appled... do not touch it cuz the oil in your skin and the texture of ur fingers will take out the texture of what to mouse did. **you dont have to do this but it gives it curl: get a dry towel and put it in ur hands and scrunch ur hair in it DO NOT TOUCH AFTER.... let it dry for about 2 minutes by air then spray some hairspray in it and then it ok to touch =] hope it works
