Can anyone help me with my hair?


Question Posted Monday June 20 2011, 6:51 pm

i have really thick curly hair.
i want to get it cut but i dont know how...usually i ask the stylist to cut it to a little above my shoulders and thin it out. i think i want to keep it longer this time, but i dont want just a trim. i also dont want bangs.
another hair issue is that when i leave it down it falls awkwardly around my face...i usually tell them to "frame my face" but maybe thats wrong?
what are some good long-ish hairstyles that are easy to manage and dont require too much styling?

Ask for long layers, right at the ends. And don't get your hair thinned - I did that once and wanted to cry every time I saw my hair. It doesn't work on curly hair, at least not the way you want it to. Go in to the salon with your hair styled curly, and say you want a cut to make your hair less poofy at the ends. Mine naturally makes a triangle and my stylist takes care of it.

If you're okay with using products, I highly recommend Paul Mitchell Super Skinny serum. I've been using it since middle school (I'm now a sophomore in college) and it's a lifesaver. It's expensive up front - $20ish a bottle- but it lasts awhile and ounce for ounce is about the same or cheaper than John Frieda. But, don't use the shampoo. It made my curls limp and sticky.

Also, air drying is better than a hair dryer, especially in the long run. It makes hair less frizzy and whatnot. I dry mine with a Turbie Twist. It's a hair towel with a loop and dries thick hair wicked fast :)

Good luck with your hair and don't be afraid to experiment! Finding that magic working combo is the greatest feeling :)
