Straight or Curly, what kind of hair do you have? email this discussion to a friend?

I have really, really curly hair...Which makes it so hard for me to mailntain! Eversince I can remember alot of people has taken interest in my hair, because it is unbelievably curly, but I hate it!
I don't do anything with my hair, I just slick it back and tie it everyday....It is so hard especially when it's dry, it puffs out and at times seem too heavy for me to handle. I often get headaches and the only way to relieve some pressure is for me to wash my hair....thats how bad it is!
I wish that I could have straight hair, so that I would be more inclined to go the beauty salon and style it.I have tried to get a "straight perm" twice before, but it last for only three days before it frizzes up and begins to curl up again."I give up!"
All three of my kids take after my hair, which is pretty funny, given that none of them look like me...lol...I hope that they don't feel the burden of such cruly hair in the long run. I think their hair is really beautiful as do so many other people, I just hope they have a easier time accepting and maintaining it in the future.
How about you, what kind of hair do you have? Is it easy for you to style and maintain, or does it make seem like a burden to you?

Mine is really straight & thin, I find I can do pretty much anything with it, but curls do not stay in my hair for a long time, with out a lot and I mean a lot of hairspray.

If I want my hair to be presentable for atleast an hour, I basically have to pour on atleast a tub of gel!


myLot reputation of 82/100. missweety (211)   ranked 7,312 out of 35,455 in people  3 years ago

the best is to use a lot of masks for hair and balms, reduse these gels and hair sprays - healthier hair will look better than hair that have a lot of spray ar gel.... good luck!!!!!:)

My hair is wavy and VERY thick. I constantly have it blow dried or straightened or else with the South Florida humidity I'd look like a poodle. Lol! I don't like it, I also wish it were straight and thinner so I could manage it easier and not have to put up with so much just to get it to look presentable.

It's practically a fact that most girls prefer the opposite of their hair. If you've got curly, you prefer straight and straight prefer curly. WHY is that?! Hah. I'm just thankful that it's at least wavy and not full on curly, because really thick, curly hair is so hard to tame! So I feel you a little. Sometimes I find myself envying bald men. LOL.

It's truley sad that I have to use the iron in order to straighten my hair for atleast two hours...lol...I really hate it! My mom always says that I should embrace it, because GOD gave it to me, but I often wonder if he gave it to me a form of punishment...lol..

My hair is relatively straight, but I still use a straightening iron on a daily basis to completely flatten it. If I were to grow my hair longer, I have a feeling it would become wavy and curly; my sister used to have long hair, and it would start curling toward the bottom half. Now both my sister and I have our hair shoulder-length (though mine's a bit shorter than that), and it's straight enough to control.

So... maybe a haircut would make your hair easier to maintain? Just a suggestion. Otherwise maybe you can start using a straightening iron (and moisturizing shampoo/conditioner to balance out the dryness).


myLot reputation of 96/100. liyan97 (1376)   ranked 1,050 out of 35,455 in people  3 years ago

Thanx for the advice, but "a haircut?". Honestly aften ten years of not cutting my hair, it has finally reached my lower back! Only when it is wet that you can see the actuall length but when it's dry and I let it go, my family often makes fun of me because they think that my hair just hasn't grown in the past ten years....lol...I do use contitioner....wait...let me rephrase that, "I HAVE TO USE CONDITIONER!" Although it makes my hair soft, it does nothing to the puffiness. But thanx again for the advice!

Just call US the Puff Monsters..lol..I have the very same problem.My hair is to curly and heavy.I can't do to much for my hair not to many styles.I have spend a lot of money trying to get it straight and it just didn't work..So I know how you feel...

I'm probably not telling you anything you don't know, but if you have your hair cut in layers, it reduces the heaviness. It saved me a lot of headaches.

I have very thick frizzy hair and have it treated/relaxed and straightened at least once a year. I have a straightening iron that I use almost everyday and even that is a lot of work (takes me at least an hour to have all my hair done).
As soon as I wash it, it goes back to being curly and frizzy (but I must say it is not as thick as it was a few years ago, it has thinned out a bit). I wish it was naturally straight so then i don't need to worry about ironing it and such.

I use to spiral perm my hair 10 years ago, just to calm it down and even though i loved the curls, it was always hard to maintain and would easily get knotted and I would find many a time struggling to keep it knot free. I then changed and started relaxing it and it seems a whole lot better, however I do experience a lot more hair breakage than before.

My hair is not curly, but they are straight. Usually I dont like curly hair, but I love the hair style of one of my friend, even though his hair is curly. Straight hairs are very easy to manage, I guess. If you are blessed with a bouncing hair, then you will feel fresh the whole day.

My hair used to naturally curly I hated it so I kept gettin it cut my sister always cut our hair. So when it would start to get a little long she would cut it for me. Now my hair is so straight I hate this worse then the curly hair.I took after my dad on my hair. My mother had straight hair and I used to love to play with her hair.Now that my hair is so straight I can't figure out what to do with it. It is way past my bottom so I keep it pulled up on top of my head and with it up it reaches down almost to my bottom. I like long hair and don't want to cut it much anyway. I think my husband wouldn't like it short either. He cuts the dead ends though.

I have curly hair. I used to hate it when I was a kid and used to envy all my friends who seemed to have straight, minimum maintenance hair. I used to look myself in the mirror and make sure I looked alright from every angle for like almost an hour before I decided it was alright to let the world see me when I was a kid.lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. liyan97 (1376)   ranked 1,050 out of 35,455 in people  3 years ago

When I was a kid I didn'y care about my hair, because I had my mom dealing with it...lol...But now it just sucks for me!@

I was born with naturally curly hair. My sister permed hers once trying to get it to look like mine. Funny, I always wanted straight hair, until I got older and grew more content with myself. By the way, have you tried Frizz Ease? Perhaps someone has already suggested this.

My hair is long and straight. theres no way that I could have curls they just would not stay. But its good because I can have it different ways and its easy to manage.
