homecoming hair ideas for long straight hair that is thin?
Question Posted Tuesday October 10 2006, 5:35 pm
I have long, thin, straight hair with side bangs. For homecoming, I want to wear my hair down, with full curls. The problem is, my hair is VERY hard to curl. Even if I use TONS of hairspray, my hair just ends up looking frizzy from the hairspray, and then the curls fall out after 10 minutes. I want my hair to look like this: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) (go to that URL to see the pic). Any ideas of how i can get my long, thin, straight, slippery hair to curl like that? Thanks!!

The best way for such fine, straight hair to hold styles is for the hair to be a little damaged...color processing or highlites by a professional will expand the cuticle of the hair itself and make it fuller and will help styles hold. If you don't or cannot do this, then you can try starting with super clean hair using shampoo and conditioners that are lightweight and made for fine/thin hair to add body. Then use a thickening mousse. There are setting lotions available, but I've never used them. I hairspray my hair prior to using a curling iron and it helps the curls stick...just be careful not to leave the iron on your hair too long. Frizz can occur when you don't start from the very tips of hair before curling, or from excessive blow drying, split-ends, or overly dry hair. You might want to try big electric rollers and spray with hairspray before letting them out. Do not brush out curled hair or you will get frizz. Use a giant toothed pick and use it softly. Hope it helps. [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]
