Ok,I have semi-long, VERY THICK natural curly hair. I cannot control it any more. I don't wan't to cut because I have tried it before, and NEVER again. I have gotten it chemically straitened 4 times. It's still curly, it just will NOT go strait, when i blow dry it striat, it just gets BIG and FRIZZY. What products can I use that will make it a better curl, right now it's more of a wavy cripy curl. If i could get it strait, that would be great. ANY SUGGESTIONS???????

ANY SUGGESTIONS???????I saw an interesting thing happen to a girl I know with very naturally curly hair. When I first met her her hair was shoulder length and it was very curly (she looked like sammy Hagar). She kept growing it down to below her waist and the weight of her hair straightened it out. Her hair was really breathtaking because it was so thick and now had a nice wave to it. I don't know how long your hair is but maybe longer is the answer.

ANY SUGGESTIONS???????Well my hair isn't nearly that curly, but it is quite thick and wavy and likes to do that FRIZZZ thing a lot. You probably won't ver get straight hair (although as it gets longer it may get heavier and pull out some of the curl into waves) but you certainly don't have to live with frizz. Here's some suggestions I have:#1. Stop blow-drying your hair. Period. No exceptions. While you may get it to go straight with the blow-dryer, the damage it creates will cause worse frizz. #2. If your frizz starts out worst in the morning and eases up as the day wears on, try sleeping on a satin and/or silk pillowcase... it's really helped my hair a lot. #3. Try using a conditioner with some silicons in it. I think Aveda Cherry almond bark has them. Or you could try one of those silicon elixers... but be careful you don't get some with alcohols in it, I've used some (even by aveda) that have dried out my hair and made the frizz worse. #4. Take good care of your hair, if it's curly damage encourages frizz... if you keep it healthy, you'll have less problems with it.-jennifer
