I don't know if thinning my hair is really what I'm looking for. But here goes. I have red semi curly hair that i keep relatively well cut but nothing really short or really long. I shower every day before school and use whatever shampoo and conditioner is in the shower. After I get out of the shower, i just get dressed and leave my hair the way it is. I dont brush my hair. I like my hair after I get out of the shower because it hangs lower than when it dries. When it dries, it just turns into a poof on the top of my head... I wish i could somehow make it a little less thick and more freeflowing. Like if i shake my head fast, the hair doesnt move at all..

Any ideas without having to use gel (ugh) and preferably not requiring any different product use? Thanks

use wax or cream instead of gel

it holds hair in place with out making it hard.

its a perfect product for curly hair.

i know, i used them

curly hair is best left uncombed, combing will make it frizzy.

use your finger to style and just twirl/twist the hair to make the curly more defined and fuller looking

Well, I actually don't want the hair held in place. I want to be able to shake my head and actually have the hair move freely. RIght now, I don't know if its just too thick or too not straight or whatever...

Im just looking for a simple way to start it. I assume, growing it out would be the first step... When I used to grow it out, I would take a shower and it looked fine; it hung down nice and evenly everywhere; but then, as it dried, it suddenly just turned into a poof at the top of my head.

So what I'm looking for is a way to let the hair hang down to the sides, not stick up and poof with itself all above my head.

ANy ideaS? Thanks :)

PS: I really would prefer NOT to use gel or anything required to put on after a shower (although I cant see how gel would help it be more free moving anyways...)
