I have essentially had the same hairstyle since 9th grade. I am 28 years old now!!! The only thing that changes is the length! I don't know what to do with it! It is very thick, very curly, unruly, extremely dry, frizzy, pouffy, and big!My only hope each day is to glop it full of gel to define the curl as much as possible, eliminate some of the frizz, and hope it doesn't rain. WhenI try to blow it out straight with pomades and such, it gets SO HUGE & FRIZZY I look like a big fuzz ball! I don't know what i did to get this hair!!! When I was a child I had beautiful thick, shiny, "regular" hair. I am getting married in 4 months, and refuse to marry with this head!!!! I have tried EVERYTHING! I need a whole new look, but don't trust anyone enough to touch my hair which has not been professionally cut or styled in about 5 years! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

I'm right there with you!!!! I have naturally curly hair and it is very hard to find a stylist who has worked with that type of hair. How curly is your hair? Is it like curly like baby spiral or a tad more tame like say Mariah Carey? Mine's more like Mariah's, just as thick (if not thicker)but it's only an inch below my shoulders. I have tried everything to straighten my hair as well as taming the frizzies when it's curly. I have tried all sorts of things from straight perms to olive oil. I use a combination of products now depending on finances and moods: Frizz Ease, ThermaSilk mousse, Pantene spray gel, Pantene hairspray. I don't use them all at once but in combinations. If I want to blow dry my hair straight: frizz ease or thermasilk. If I want curly: spray gel and hairspray. This is already a book... if you would like to know more just let me know!
