Hi everyone.
As the title really...my hair is massively thick and difficult to manage. It takes forever to dry and style. It’s not straight but isn’t ‘nicely’ wavy either; it goes into weird waves/kinks if I don’t blow and straighten it but wouldn’t be wavy/curly if I scrunched it. I’ve been leaving it more or less natural, just straightening my fringe and using an ‘air dry’ cream. It’s OK, but never looks nice. I’m on the early shift so wash it of an evening, but if I straighten it, I have to do it again in the morning, which I don’t have the time or inclination for. It’s shoulder length with long layers so if I put it up then bits fall out and it’s never smooth like air hostesses, for example when I tie it back. I tried French plaiting it the other day but even dividing it into two, I still had too much hair to plait and bits kept falling out where my hair is layered.
Sorry to go on but I’m at my wits end! It’s either down and looks like I haven’t bothered with it or in a ponytail with ‘bumpy’ uneven bits and a huge bushy ponytail, not a sleek, smooth affair. I’ve tried Brazilian blow drys which helped a bit but didn’t last beyond a few weeks. Help!
