Oh me stupid - cut hair - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Well I've been growing my hair out for two years so I could have it long for my end of school formal in a few months time. But I got weak! I had it cut - it's not too short - the bottom layer is juuust past my shoulders and the shortest layer is just below my ears. But argh all my curl is gone

My hair still goes curly when it's wet but after it has dried it starts going limp and lifeless and arrrgh. What can I do what can I do what can I do?! My hair is thin...not really thin but medium thin...does anyone know any products or techniques to make my hair look purdy again?

Can't you just use gel after you wash your hair to keep the curl? I use assuie, sebastion's good too.

If that doesn't work why don't you just get a perm?

My daughter's hair is curly too. It's not really curly unless it's wet or I fix it curly. Sometimes I dry it with a round brush (on special occasions) and it turns out so pretty. I think big round brushes are great with curly hair. You should try it.

After you wash it put some scruch spray in it and use a diffuser.

Good luck

I have the same problem, so when I don't feel like blowdrying I just use some light gel and scrunch, to get the curls (well, more like waves) to not go flat. It will look messy after you've slept on it, but for a day it's fine.
DON'T get a perm, that will only mean more funky waves when it grows out and can end up completely ruining your natural curls. Especially if you don't have very thick hair.
