What should I do to control thick, coarse, wavy dark hair that's somewhat healthy, but shapeles

I've always had hair issues. My hair is extremely thick, full and wavy. It's not over-dried or anything because I don't use chemicals and flat-iron/blow dry very little, but it's completely shapeless. I have long side-swept bangs and a one-length "blunt cut"... and my waves are very fuzzy, undefined, and often frizzy. I want to know what haircut to get and what products to use so I can make a great first impression on the first day of school.

also, I would like something that I can style quickly (I am not the kind of girl to spend 40 mins each morning doing my hair!) but still looks pretty -- I just don't know what to do! Please help =)

Go to a really good salon and ask. tell the stylist just what you want and if its a truly good place you'll get results and products to help you maintain it. You should do you reseach before you go. type in the name of your city in google and then type hair salon reviews and you will get people's ratings and reviews. They can tell you if its a good service worth the $ or not as well.

I don't know if you are male or female if a guy you would probably want to keep it short unless you want to let it grow out and you can have some little braids all over. If a female, let me tell you I fought this battle all my life growing up. I am 56 years of age so my hair was not so in (popular) as it was called. It really was a time consuming thing and always on my mind. I could iron it in my early teens. Late teens I could let it go any way I wanted it too.

Then the blow dryer came about. Gosh for I don't know how long I woud work with my hair and the blow dryer so I could have the big hair or "Charlie's Angels's" look.

Am I ever glad that I can just get it cut with a few layers. I use a hair cream instead of gel. I do use a spray after shampooing that conditions and detangles too. Then I comb it out sometimes bend over and shake my hair out a couple times and that is it.

I have lost a lot of my hair now due to age and meds but keep your hair as long as you can. Tie it back with any kind of clips, ribbons, or pick sticks. Keep a floppy hat with you at all times for if it rains.You'll look great. Have your own style. That is what will stand you apart from anyone else in the crowd. And, you will look great!!!

Hope that helps some! Marlene

Dont go out and buy anything expensive.

First: Purchase a mild Shampoo (To Clarify hair, I will explain why)

Second: TRIM your hair ends (May 1 1/2 to 2 inches)

Third: Here's the magic part: Mix olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and a "little" honey, (honey u will have to heat so it can blend). Either leave on ALL day or all night (if all nite, DONT use honey)

Use a teaspoon of every oil and honey,.... a little more if ur hair is long or a little less if ur hair is short

Repeat this 3-4 times a week, your hair will grow like a weed, fortify, reconstruct, moisturize, soften %26amp; remove all frizz I promise,..... and it will be super shiny!!!!

The clairifying shampoo will help take the oil off your hair when u shower

You can also use a conditioner but get a light conditioner that wont wiegh ur hair down, becuz u can over condition, I use herbl essences "clean happy" conditioner.

When I do this at nite, I wake up, shampoo %26amp; condition, rinse and style as usual. Has worked for years

You can find olive oil anywere, but the other oils you will have to buy at a local organics store, wholes foods or BJ's health corner.
