Nice....very nice I'd say encourage those waves. You might want to try CO-ing to help with the frizziness. Also, don't touch it while it's drying (AT ALL!) and use a couple of drops of Jojoba Oil as a leave-in. I'd love to see what colour your hair is...do you have any pics in colour?

Your hair looks brilliant and not damaged at all even when it's straightened so I don't think you need to cut at all (unless you want to!) The mini-trims seem to be doing the job so far.
As far as the "poofing" problem goes, have you tried using a frizz-reducing serum on your wet hair? That might help. You could combine this with a tiny bit of mousse worked through the very ends (nowhere near the roots), if necessary. Good luck. You have truly great hair.
Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Wooow your wavy hair looks fabulous. And I agree with SK, it's healthier for your hair if you use minimal heat. Looking forward to getting to know you better.

What good is life without a horse??!!!
Thank you all for your replies/comments/suggestions.
One thing I forgot to mention about my curly hair is that as soon as it gets dry (that picture was taken right after it was washed.) It just starts to poof, and I can't stand it. And people have suggested using mousse, or gels, but if I do that my hair looks greasy right away, and never actually looks clean. So if anyone has suggestions of how I can keep the curls looking nice after they dry, without it looking/feeling greasy, I would also appreciate anything you could let me know!
And actually, the pictures are sort of decieving length-wise because --especially in the 2nd one-- I didn't realize it, but my head was tipped back slightly. It really will have to grow about 9 more inches --meaured when straightened-- to get to my waist.
Thank you again for all the comments already shared, and anymore anyone has to offer!

your busy - my cat does the same).

Hey there LoveBug, those are great photos and your hair is very pretty both straightened and curly. You asked if cutting it would make it grow faster, and from what I can tell, this is a myth that some stylists tell you. I think it will make your ends more blunt and healthy looking, and possibly keep split ends from damaging the upper lengths of your hair. Your ends look good to me - if they were my ends I wouldn't trim them.....As for what to do to keep your hair healthy, I guess the only thing I can recommend (being a former straightener myself) is to stop heat straightening your hair. It is incredibly damaging - and your curls are so pretty. Anyway, hope that helps. This board has so many good people on it who will also have some great recommendations for you......
Hi, I'm 16 years old, and I've been coming and looking around at these boards for a while now, and I think I've posted a few times, but I never got around to posting pictures of my hair, until now!
At last measure, I think it was about 23''. I don't even remember when I got it cut last, but the last time I had a major cut it was to right below my shoulders, so it has been a while.
My goal is to get it to my waist.
Any comments/suggestions? It is naturally curly, and those pictures are of it straightened (with a straightening iron.) When it's curly it is much shorter, and even frizzier than it is there.. I think I may have a picture. Here:
So yes. Any suggestions about what I can do to make it healthier? I've only had very minor trims recently (performed by my dad or friend) of less than an inch each time, just to get the most damaged ends taken care of. But other than that I don't let anyone near my head with scissors. Even though most people tell me that I should cut at least 3 inches off, so it will look healthier, and "grow faster." (Is that even true?)
Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thank you!
