Indeed, as I have curly hair too I know how awful it is when you wake up on the morning hoping so much that for once...Oh no. The Jackson five hair. Again.
However, I want to say to all the women who have the same hair as mine that you can be proud of it!
First, you should know that frizzy hair was very fashion million years before Christ.
Untidy, frizzy, curly, thick hair was fashion too during the 80's. Remember !
Thriller
Grease
Madonna
And...Whitney Houston !
Accept your fabulous hair !
Well, if you want finally to decide and forget unkempt hair there are solutions though.
First step
Control it ! How ? Usually your hair is dry and it is worse when you go to the beach because of salt, sea and sun. Winter is not better than summer : cold, wind...
The best solution for you is to use a special shampoo made for dry hair. Even if you don't have Whitney Houston's hair, you could use it. Use a shampoo with shea butter. What is shea butter ? It is extracted from shea trees, in West of Africa. Then, avocado oil or olive oil are often use to make hair shining.
For example, Ultra doux shampoo, de Garnier is the best shampoo I've ever find.
Other receipes of shampoo, home made shampoo :
Nustrishing shampoo
2 egg yolk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon rum
Mix everything together, apply and rinse it with tepid water.
Solution for shining hair
Henna is your friend ! However be careful the color is dark especially if you have blond hair.
Put gloves and be careful to not soil your face and your neck.
You need 100/200 grammes of henna (0.22/0.44 ounces) in powder and water.
Add water to henna and boil the mixture until it turns paste.
Then apply and wrap your hair with a towel.
If you just want glints let it for 15 minutes. If you want to dark your color of hair let it for 2 hours.
Second step
Now your hair is nourished and healthy so you can
1) For beautiful ringlets and volume :
Let you hair dry by itself and NEVER use a hairdryer. Lift the roots for more volume. For example, bend and shake your head. Then, take one lock in your hand and press it like a spiral. You can use your hand to modify the way you want your hair to look like.
2) To flatten your hair (for example if you want to smooth it with a flat-iron) :
Use a comb and fasten your hair with an elastic band while it is drying. It will be flat on the head and it will be easier to flat iron.
3) To wave your hair without having ringlets :
Comb it and make a braid but not tight while it is drying.
4) To have fuzzy hair like in the 80's :
Let your hair dry and try to have the most ringlets as possible and the most volume as possible (follow 1) ).
Then use a brush. Be careful, don't use a brush with plastic points like this :
It is more difficult and it will pull your hair. Instead, use this :
Bend your head and brush your hair. Lift roots for more volume. Or comb your hair the wrong way with raps, it is effective but can damage your hair for a while.
Third step
Haircups !
For more volume, layered haircup is the best.
Some ideas :
1)Wear your hair down naturally. There are plenty of women who would do everything to have your hair ! Make them jealous. The part can be on the middle of the head or on the side, it's more sexy if you don't have part and let your hair swept-back.
2)Smooth it with a flat-iron. Be careful. Don't smooth it every day it could damage it. Smooth lock by lock, sometimes twice. Begin by the locks which are under and finish on the top of head. It is very boring and soooo long but it is the only way. You can use a nutrishious balm.
3)Jackson five's haircut. Fuzzy hair. Well, maybe for week-ends, holidays or parties.
4)Put a slide on your hair. It can fasten a lock on the side. Easy.
5)You can smooth just the roots.
6) Knot hair, thanks to hairgrips.
Let untidy locks, don't tight it too much.
