I need major hair help! THICK AND BUSHY!!?

Getting it chemically fixed is completly out of the question along with most salon products.

I have thick hair. VERY thick hair. Also extremly poofy and curly. Straightening doesnt work at all. It looks alright I guess when its down but when I put it up into a ponytail it looks HORRIBLE! I have to have it in a ponytail as a rule at my gymnastics center. I am currently using herbal essences danerously straight shampoo and none of your frizziness conditioner. Sometimes I use pantene smooth and sleek. I have tried frizzease products and they help a little but not much. my hair got layered because I thought it may help the poofiness but it didnt get better and now it looks like the hair is 2 lengths and not blended at all.

AHHH I HAVE THE SAMME PROBLEM!!!!!

i have reallly poofy hair.. i do gymnastics and i used to have three of my teammates help me get it into a PONYTAIL! its rediculous. i got it cut and layered and it diddnt help AT ALL! it was still humongous!!

i was so close to just shaving all of my hair off, you have no idea.

then one say i decided to pull out my straightener. i sed it once and it was stiull poofy. but i diddnt want it puufy so i just ran it over one of my 4 sections of hair, and it was so much flatter! it was amazing. i'll try to get pics.

then i straightened it in 4 sections, and it was so thin and pretty and soft! i couldnt stop touching it.

THENNNNNN i decided to stop straightening it so much and to just use hairspray.

O.M.G.

it works amazingly. it put shine and testure into my curls yet leaves them so thin and pretty! im so happy everytime i look into the mirror.

plus.. i use it when my hair is in a ponytail too!

i use this AMAZING stuff called NEXXUS COMB THRU.

seriously, use it!

i can go for three days without doing anything but keeping it in a ponytail and it still looks perfectly sculpted! PLUSSSSS

it dosent tangle hair!

i reccommend it.

oh, and DONT cut your hair short! hwne its short, it dosent have as much ewight, which makes it poof more! i get 2 inches cut once a year. plus, long hair is in!

hope i helped!

Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight shampoo did nothing for me. So I bought a Chi straightner and that did the trick! As for your layering problem I would just say to maybe let the layers grow themselves out, so you won't have layers anymore.

i had your same exact problem.

next time you go to get a hair cut, ask them to thin it out.

they use special scissors to thin out your hair and it really works and doesnt look bad.

damn if i were you id just shave my head. you might have to do like some black women do and use that greasy stuff, you'll be shiny but your hair wont be all over the place. also my g/f has somewhat crazy hair if she doesnt blow dry it after a shower, she is always avoiding getting her hair wet because it goeas everywhere, i think its cute but she hates it, i dont think hers is as bad as your describing yours but it cant hurt, she like blowdrys it and uses a straightener as she blowdrys it. its a pain in the frikkin asss if you ask me takes like 20 minutes.

i completely understand. i have poofy thick hair too and i know how frustrating it can get to manage.

try investing in a chi hair straightener, and to buy products, buy them straight from the salon because those tend to be professional and i find they work best.

try not to use shampoo too much, condition daily. instead of layers, try getting your hair thinned out.

You need a good hair dresser, many layers, and a great conditioner and flat iron. Good luck!

Thick hair can be quite heavy making it challenging to deal with. It completely conceals the scalp when hair is wet and dry. It can be unruly, often having too much body.

Thick or very thick strands can be tamed with an expert cut, layered or blunt, that helps builds in shape and eliminates bulk. Hair worn longer will help compress some of the mass and gentle relaxing treatments will add bend and movement.

There are endless combinations of hair texture, density, type and color that result in hair that is completely different. Fine hair can be thin, medium or thick in density. It can be straight, curly, wavy or a combination. Additional variables from environment to heredity to the type of chemical products you use can also alter the type of hair you have on your hair.

Perpetually good hair days can become the rule rather the exception when you get to know your hair and understand its own unique profile

Ouch, hate that for you. Hair is very important to women and I know what it is like to have hair you feel you can't control. My suggestion to you would be to get a chemical relaxer. It is a cream-like product that chemically changes the texture of your hair. You will still have some curl, but it will also allow you to blow dry it straight pretty easily.

You can have it done professionally for the first time, but if money is an issue, you can buy it at Sally's or Walmart, etc. My suggestion would be the Revlon brand. I'd use either Mild or Regular strength.

Be careful!!! Read the directions and get someone to help you. After the first time, you only need to touch up your new growth (roots) every 8-12 weeks.

And as far as the layers... layers add volume to hair, so that is why it is more poofy. The relaxer will help calm that, but best bet is to grow them out.

Good luck! =)

I have long curly hair....

I use Garnier Fructis Shampoo and Conditioner for dry and damaged hair. Leave the conditioner in your hair for about 5 mins (while in shower).

Then use Biolage (Matrix hair products) Gelee. Use it on wet hair, comb through to distribute evenly, then diffuse or air dry.

If I did not use this my hair will look like a brillo pad. Hahaa

Good Luck!
