my hair
I really hate my hair. It's thick, curly, and hard to do anything with. I was straightening my hair (I always do but it seems not to do anything) and I always but the top (thick) layer up in a pony tail and straighten the bottom layer (thin) then switch it around when I'm done. So, when I was straightening the bottom layer and I just love it, it's so straight and thin and I love it. But then I do the top layer and it's all..blah! I seriously hate the top layer and love the bottom layer. How can I get my whole head to be like the bottom layer without spending a lot of money? I kinda also want blonde highlights. I have really dark brown hair. So how can I get my hair like the bottom layer? (Sorry the highlights were totally out of subject)

It's easy
Just divide it into more layers
Instead of just the top part and middle part, divide it into more layers and do it all little by little. Each piece of hair that you put in the iron should be as wide and 3 fingers, and not very thick. You should pass the iron by each strand about 5 times.
Believe it or not, it works, even if it'll take you like two hours.
Have someone do the back since you wont reach it that good.
Hope thats helps

ok well i've got a lot of options for you.
for the highlights:
you can either go to a hair dresser and get them done, or you can get this product from ulta or any beauty place (i'm not sure of the name of the product) but you put it in your hair and then you lay out in the sun, and it lightens your hair/gives you highlights.
for the straightening:
well it also depends on what kind of straightner you have. i highly reccomned the chi straightner, it is expensive though.
if you don't want to get a new straitner, than i suggest that you:
1) get your hair thinned at a salon
2) try a new conditioner or shampoo(try a stronger conditioner, thats what i did)
3) buy either BioSilk Silk Therapy Treatment or some type of chi product that you put in before straitning (they're not very expensive)

you can ask your hairdresser to thin out your hair it will make it thinner and easier to straighten

I know this doesn't exactly answer your question but I also have long curly hair and I would like to recommend a book to you that completely changed how I manage my hair. I used to have similar complaints about my hair as you mentioned but since I have been using the techniques I learned in this book, I have different hair all together; I really like my hair now. And, on top of it all, the things I do with my hair now take less time and cost less money!
The book is called "Curly Girl" and I think the author's name is Loraine Massey. I bought it at Chapters about 3 years ago. It was cheap and it is a fun and easy read.
The main thing I learned is that curly hair is completely different from straight hair and therefore needs to be treated as such. For example, it is very damaging to be regularly shampooing curly hair. Have you ever noticed that your hair actually looks better when you have gone longer than usual without washing it? There is a reason for that. The book will explain this and tell you what we curly girls should be doing with our hair.
Have fun!

you can go to a haircutting salon and ask them to 'thin out' the top laer- they will know exactly what your talking about. they will use a razor type tool to cut the hair on top so it will look thinner and feel thinner too.

I would say you should get layers if you dont already have them, they look cute and make your hair thinner. Or you could get your hair thinned, i dont know how much that costs but my friend does it, she has thick hair too. And blonde highlights would look really cute maybe even copper highlights since your hair is dark. I hope i helped!
