How can I control my hair or learn to like my hair.?

Ok my hair is thick and wavy. There are some natural curls underneath too. My hair has long layers in it and come just below my shoulders. I know that i should never have it short because it will go poofy. So im growing it. But i always have the temptation to straighten it so I can have it down. I really can't straighten it anymore otherwise it will go dry. I think I should learn to get used to my natural hair. I would really like to keep it down all the time and not tie it up. So any tips.

my daughters hair is just like yours and she loves her hair now(usted to hate it) but we went to the beauty shop and had it layerd then straightned with a hot iron straightner we bought a good one it was about 75.00 now she does it herself but it helped for the beautition to show her how be sure to go to a beauty supply store and buy shampoo and conditoner that doesnt have achocal(mispelled) in it like so soft thats one brand also a protectent for straighting so you dont damage your hair and be sure to not leave the straightner on your hair too long just slide down hair several times NOT slow ones you dont want to burn your hair just keep going threw your hair and it should be soft and sleek if you want to wear it curley just wash

i have the same problem you do... what i did is first i got a perm so that when i couldnt do anything with my hair, i could wear it curly. then, i started working on my damaged hair. start off by doing the hot oil treatments (they work wonders!). then buy the suave sleek line and use it every night. it will make your hair soft and not so dry at the ends. now i buy straightening repair lotion. you smooth it on your hair before you straighten and it doesnt harm your hair. i do all of that every day except the hot oil. (i did that until my hair was in better shape. now i only do it once a month or so) my hair is straight, shiny, and soft and i can fix it!

How can I control my hair or learn to like my hair.?

what i would do is get the middle section thinned out. keep the lenght on the top layers and keep the actual lenght.then for styling i would straighten the fringe and scrunch in some leave-in conditioner to the rest

How can I control my hair or learn to like my hair.?

I know exactly how you feel! I have extremely curly hair and it frizzes like crazy sometimes, so I have to put so much gel in it since it's so thick. Some days I love my curls, but for the most part I hate them. I still haven't found a way to make my curls look spectacular except to add some hair accessories like a cute headband or something.

I, however, do straighten my hair a lot. So if you do decide to do that, use a moisturizing shampoo everyday. That will help keep your hair from drying out from the straightener. I use tresemme mosturizing shampoo and conditioner and it works really well!

Good luck! And remember people pay a ton of money to get hair like ours!

Dying over Bleached Hair?

This year ive dyed my hair Black, Purple, Red, Darkbrown, Lightbrown and a Chocolate Brown (not at the hair dressers)

About 4 weeks ago, i bleached the top layers of my hair, and some of it worked but other parts turned yellow and orange. I got in trouble at school for having 2 toned hair and i need to change it. I hate going to the hair dressers and i wanna dye it myself. if i put just like black do-it-yourself hair dye in will it work? im not worried about my drying out because its naturaly very oily and the peroxide didnt stop it from being oily so i think its ok.

Dying over Bleached Hair?

Yes it will, black is a really strong colour for hair dyes...and I think even dark brown would work (only for permanent ones, not temporary).

Dying over Bleached Hair?

your hair may be oily now but as you get older it will become over processed and dry. try using garnier hair color, it should work

Dying over Bleached Hair?

Yes, as long as the color you use is permanent.

Any brand will do as hair dyes contain virtually the same ingredients.

Anyone knows about hair extensions? & hair regrowth?

I had a very bad experience with these and was wondering if anyone had been through something similar in regard to hairloss due to extensions. Mine seems as though it is slowly recovering but I am 20 years old and wonder how long it will truly take to get back to the way that it was. The outer layer of my hair was basically unnaffected (aside from the ends) while the inner layers are now short and rather sparse. I do not have any bald spots. I was wondering if someone went through something similar and how long it tooked for them to notice that their hair was recovering. Did you eventually get your texture back? What did you do in the meantime?

Anyone knows about hair extensions? %26amp; hair regrowth?

If your hair is falling out after extensions its probably due to the way they were put in, if they were sewn in the tracks were too tight and if glued it may be an allergic reaction. Whatever the case a gentle shampoo (something for colored hair is the best.) and a weekly cholesterol treatment will work miracles, if you can't find cholesterol mayo is the home remedy. After shampooing your hair apply the cholesterol(or mayo) and put a plastic shower cap over it, let it set for thirty to forty-five minutes then rinse (*if you use mayo you will want to lightly shampoo after as well as before.) Your hair will improve within weeks and you should see length differences within a month. Vitamins do help, but try not to wash your hair every day (this strips your hair of the natural vitamins it is already supplied.) ***Pantene of any kind is not a good idea, it has high alcohol agents which dry out your hair and cause it to break, also stay away from citrus products which do the same thing. Really hope this helps!

this happened to me too...it will grow back at the normal hair growth rate...my hair was actually thicker when it grew back in...i did decide to cut it short though because of the unevenness of it...

Anyone knows about hair extensions? %26amp; hair regrowth?

Hair extensions are terrible if you get cheap european/indian hair. I had them for prom and that was IT! They itch ... are terrible to wash ... and come loose if you brush too hair (mine were sew in). I hair problems for the past four years b/c I dyed it too much. Dying my hair left me with anything but beautiful results. My hair started breaking off, drying up, and getting gum like if I would dye it again. My suggestion to you is to get regular trims every eight weeks. I've been doing it for over six months and I have beautiful healthy hair again. I have almost all of my natural color back too.

You also should do a deep conditioning treatment everyday. Pantene Restoratives will help you out with that. The one I use is designed to repair two years of damage in one month. It really works.

Hope this helps.

damaged hair grows slower than healthy hair. hair grows on average of 1 cm a month and faster in the summer or warmer months of the year. you may want to start taking prenatal vitamins to speed your hair growth and make it stronger and fuller.

i never had hair extensions but i burned a part of my hair right off my scalp. yeah........it took 3 months or so to start looking better. but your hair will grow back. dont stress, massage your scalp and wash it with organic shampoo and take your vitamins. you might end up with better hair than before...:)

Why cant my hair stop falling?

Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of a cycle of growing new hairs and loosing some. Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp. Check out http://usefulinfo-hairloss.blogspot.com/ for more info.

Does anyone know how to cut their own hair in layers?

Yes, I do it all the time. Take all of your hair and put it into a ponytail on the very top of your head, so that it's sticking straight up in the air. Then take sharp scissors and cut it straight across. Start by taking off a little...then let your hair down and see how much more you want to take off. Pile your hair back up on top of your head...keep doing that until you get the desired length.

Hair Help Plz!!?

I have long layers in my hair. the first 3 inches at the top of my hair is light brown and it mixes good with my dirty blonde from there to the tips . Is there a good hair cut I could get to keep my hair staight ? I am getting blonde highlights too , so pleas tell me things that will look good with it . ( i do not want to use a straightenr everyday )Pics would help lots! THANKS :)

Hair Help Plz!!?

Well getting a hair cut cant keep your hair straight, but what i would recommend to keep it straight and not have to straighten it everyday is thermal reconditioning, hair straightening and hair relaxing (chemical) these can all be damaging to your hair! So be careful when getting these done!

Hair Help Plz!!?

I have the same thing. You don't need to straiten it everyday. I think blonde highlights would look good! Srry, don't have pics! :(

What would be a good short hair cut for straight hair?

I have long brown hair and kind of a long skinny face, and i want a hair cut, its layered and a little past my shoulders and I havent had one since August and I have no split ends. Also do guys like shorter hair?

What would be a good short hair cut for straight hair?

I agree w/ the first answer. A bob would be really sleek.

FYI, bangs cut straight across will make your face look a little wider and balance out the length. Side swept bangs generally add length.

Check out http://www.visual-makeover.com/face.htm and www.matrix.com for more ideas.

What would be a good short hair cut for straight hair?

From my own experiances i have found that guys like longer hair. I would suggest not getting your hair cut but if you are determined try some kind of bob. such as an angles bob that angles in toward your face

What would be a good short hair cut for straight hair?

Well first of all im not being mean or rude or anything but why does it matter what guys think of your hair do what your want with it. I think you should change it up and go for a shorter cut like a chin length bob would be cute or a shoulder length cute with lots of layers and side bangs.

What would be a good short hair cut for straight hair?

Long- pin straight hair makes your face look even longer than it is. Try going with bangs that are a little (like 1 cm.) below your eye-brow for a sexy yet conservative look. Lucky you, you don't have split ends, so your hair could probably endure some styling if done correctly. Be aware that short hair cuts are harder to maintain than long cuts, since short hair may need some blowdrying and up keep, although it's well worth it. A shoulder length cut could probably go along with two to three layers just to add some class and originality. Hope I helped %26amp; Good luck!
