Poufy top layer Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: Hair Talk Forum Name: General Hair Talk Forum Description: A free wheeling discussion of hair related topics.

The top is shorter, and is gradually layered to blend with the rest. I try to let my hair air dry, except for the top which I curl with a curling iron. However, when my hair starts getting long at the top (about 3 weeks after my hair is cut) it starts looking "poufy" at the top. I hate this look! I feel like my choice is to either, 1) constantly get the top trimmed, which is annoying, or 2) let the top grow out so that the top layer gets long and I won`t feel like I`d have to curl it. However, I`ve had bangs for years and don`t know whether I would like my hair without them. Also, I wouldn`t know how to deal with the "in-between" growing out stage. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Either styling advice, or hair-cut ideas that would help? Thanks!!! Replies: Posted By: AmberJune Date Posted: February 07 2002 at 2:22pm I think it would probably be best if you let if grow out a little. If you don`t want to have to get it trimmed alot.. then you will have to either endure the poufyness or the waiting period of it growing. Have you ever thought about growing your bangs out? ... that`s also a waiting period but alot of women have started growing bangs out... plus you wouldn`t have to worry with curling them. When I had bangs I hated to have a bad "bang" day. (o: ------------- *AmberJune* http://twitter.com/AmberJune01
