Hi there!I also have curly hair that tends to be quite volumous too! Anyway, what you DO NOT want to even think about doing is having your hair 'thinned' with thinning shears-- do you want to talk about frizz!!!! With thinning shears, the pieces that are cut are left to stick out all over the place (this method of thinning is best left to straight haired people whos hair lies flat without any help). Now, it IS best to work with your texture, no matter what anyone says. To control my curls, I use a leave in conditioner (Kiehls makes an awesome one that I just ordered) and follow that with my kiehls Creme with Silk Groom styling creme-- than, I use Paul Mitchel Sculpting Foam with Conditioners and diffuse my hair dry. This process leaves my hair sooo soft but with great shine and control! I do have my days when I straighten, though. Here, I use Phytodefrissent on wet hair and then pull my hair back into a ponytail tightly at the base of my neck. I let this dry for about two hours; this really flattens out the top of my hair and then I just work on the bottom. I put my dryer on high heat and use a LARGE OVAL brush to starighten out the rest. I also have a pick attachement (it has two rows of teeth) that I rake through my ahir and htis gets it extra straight! When the drying is finished, i use a curiling iron to define the ends, spray it all with a bit of gloss or silicone oil (like ARtec Shine and Frizz repair) and that is it! I hope that this gives you some options to try out!Sherry~> Hi all!> I have shoulder length, thick wavy hair, such that it> looks like a lion's mane when i let it> down.......thus, i always have to tie my hair up when> i go out.> Can anyone tell me how i can make my hair thinner,> straighter and more manageable??> Thanx!
