i have school tommrow and i bought that mousse in the pic, herbal essence curl scrunching gel, and lustrasilk curl activator. I really want to get my poofy hair curly can anyone tell me how??



i used the curl activator yesterday and all it did was curl my hair a little here and there but it was still too poofy. thats what all mousses tend to do on my hair, it makes it sora wavy but it will still be puffy. I have A LOT of hair so i dont know what to do....



(ive tried straw curls and they kinda work but they take forever to do! i need something easier and faster, are you supposed to use something after using a curl activator, or should I try braiding my hair after putting mousse in it to make it curlier?)



im aiming for curl hair like this http://images47.fotki.com/v1474/photos/6鈥?/a>

..but really any type of curl will doHELP ME WITH MY POOFY HAIR!!! (pics of it included)?
Ok, so I have the exact same problem. I totally know where you are coming from.



First of all, cool it with the heat treatments. These cause damage that will only make matters worse.

After years of straightening my hair frequently I have breakage, which causes frizz and makes it hard to style. It also causes your hair to be even frizzier. There are better ways to have nice hair then to damage it.



Now first I must ask, do you brush your hair before school?

This is a big no no.

For our hair type this causes poofiness.



Curly hair should almost never be brushed when it's dry. Here's what you do:

Wash your hair every 2 or 3 days This sounds gross but actually it is great for your hair.

When in the shower, shampoo your hair a usual. Then add nice conditioner. Brush from root to tip.



When out of the shower add Organtix coconut oil serum. This is natural, smells great, repairs your hair, and does not test on animals.



Now add a mixture of Tressame gel and curl cream. Brush through.



Now Here are some heat free curling methods:

you probably have to get it thinned and then straightened.
you should ask your hair stylist. he/she would know
Yours will probably go easily into ringlets (like Shirley Temple). Just shape the locks with your fingers. My mum used to do this to my sister and she had hair similar to yours.
leave just a little conditioner in it when you rinse it in small sections use sum frizz serum then gel but make sure you get it from roots to ends because most of the poof comes from underneath then dont touch it it gets big when you mess with it if you touch it gets bigger
if your looking for a cute hairstyle to try out without heat try these:

OK, since you are going back to school tomorrow I guess you are looking for a solution that doesn't involve going out and buying heaps of products?

So, I have a similar hair type to you,

what i do to get rid of poofiness is:-

Wash your hair in the shower.(if you have shampooed your hair within the last 48hrs just wash your hair with conditioner only, and no shampoo).

Roughly towel dry your hair, but do not brush it!!!!

When you get out put the following into a spay bottle and spray a fair amount into your hair:-

Your regular conditioner, about 4-6 tablespoons.

Any kind of hairspray, 3-5 second spray.

Water, 500mL.



After this, smooth it into your hair with a wide toothed comb, or your fingers. Do Not Brush!!!

Leave to air dry.



Hope this helps. :-)
