I need some help with my hair... any advice? - Hair Problems Message Board

Well, my hair is about right below my arm pits and it's naturally wavy. My problem is that when i take a shower and my hair gets wet, when it dries (I usually just let it dry naturally or go to sleep with it wet as blow dryers just don't make my hair look good, which is actually part of my question

) it dries in little ringlets in some parts of my hair, but overall just looks really nappy and wavy and frizzy and it's just not pretty at all. So, I just end up straightening it with my ceramic flat iron. I just want to know if you guys have any tips as to what I could do to style my hair so that I can still wear it with my natural waves without it looking really big and frizzy which always happens when I dry it with my blow dryer (I don't try and style it or anything, but just dry it while running my fingers to it) Any products I could use or styling tips? Thanks a lot!

I have the same problem, though my hair is a bit longer. What helps is if you don't brush it when you get out of the shower (instead, brush it before you shower) and crunch it with your fingers. Then let it dry naturally. I found that not brushing helps, because it stops a lot of frizzing. However, your hair (if it's a lot like mine) will still look fuzzy until it dries all the way.

Another option would be to use TIGI's curls rock products. If you use them, you can blow dry your hair and still have curly/wavy hair that doesn't frizz.

Where can I buy those products? How much do they cost? Thanks for the advice!

My hair is the same...wavy and then frizzy when I don't do anything to it.
I found that Neutrogena's new silk leave in conditioner works great. It's part of their new Triple Moisture line. I put it on after my shower and then just finger comb it through my hair (shouldn't brush wavy hair) and it works awesomely. Trust me it glides right through and really defines and conditions your waves. I use it on my 8 year old nieces hair, which is curlier than mine and it works great on her's too.
You can by it at any drugstore that sells neutrogena, and it's like 5 or 6 bucks I think.

after it's dry, use large/jumbo hot rollers...that will smooth and take out the frizz but you'll still have large curls to style...
good luck
