Hey babyflower!

We sound like we have the same hair. My hair is also incredibly thick.

Have you ever heard of a HAI iron? It is a ceramic straightening iron that is not very damaging at all and it will make your hair pin straight and very smooth and silky. First you spray a heat protectant or shine spray (I use Biosilk Shine On) on each section of hair, then run the iron down and presto! Smoother, silker hair. The one drawback is that it`s about $95 but it will last you a very long time and it is incredibly worth it. If you want to get a cheaper iron, try a Hot Tools one. It`s not ceramic and it might be more damaging, but it will do basically the same thing. They are much cheaper (about $40??) and you can buy it at Ulta.

I`m not really sure if there is a creme or product to "thin" hair. You could go to your hairstylist and ask them to razor cut your hair into layers. It`s supposed to lighten the hair considerably and it looks really cute!



HTH! :-)

I also have very thick hair. My soultion is a short cut (like Halle Berry`s length), then I have it texturized (they use scissors like pinking shears), which takes most of the weight out of it. Styling is 5 minutes in the morning and everyone says how glam I always look! I used to spend 45 minutes in the morning fighting with my hair!

Hair products-- I use Volumax gel/pomade, I just wish they sold it in a larger tub!
