I am a 20 year old woman of Cuban origin living in Belgium.
I have very very thick, natural shoulder lenght, curly hair (it takes 2 hours to dry). You should know that my hairdresser always thins it out (very) considerably so otherwise it would even be twice as thick !
The fact is that I consider my hair to be much too thick and I would rather have had less hair. I really envy people with fine hair and if a product would exist to make my hair thinner, for once and for all, by two thirds or three quarters, I wouldn't hesitate to take it.
Most of the women I know here in Europe are white and when they see me, they often make remarks about my very thick, curly hair. While grabbing through my locks, they say things like: "wow, that's thick hair!", "you must have a lot of work with this", "have you never considered another hairdo?" etc. Also, when walking in the streets, people often look at me and make remarks behind my back. At my work, the management doesn't like my hair and insist I wear my hair in a tail. At one point a manager bluntly told me that my hair was too wild and I should have it cut. The problem is that my boyfriend likes my hair as it is now and if it wasn't for him, I would have opted for a very short hairdo a long time ago. But, eventually, my boyfriend will have to understand that, because of my carreer, I'll have it cut very short one day, maybe not now or in the near future, but within a few years.
So: what can I do to get less hair ? Have it thinned out even more drastically ?
Are there any treatments that make your hair grow less thick and dense ? Some sort of "permanent partial hair removal"
