I have awful hair. It’s very fine and pretty curly. Unfortunately, because it’s also very sparse (curse you, perimenopause!) I don’t get ‘nice’ curls – they thin and straggly, and I am cursed with a lot of straight sections so it just looks a mess.
So, I have to dry it straight, but that looks awful too, because it’s so frizzy, flyaway and poofy. I can make it look better with straighteners, but that can’t be great for it.
Condition-wise, it isn’t overly dry or anything (my hairdresser noted this recently, and I can tell for myself when I do let the curl out), but it’s quite fragile and prone to breakage, which obviously doesn’t help with the overall thinness and is the reason why I’m nervous about relying too much on straighteners.
Is there a magic product out there that will help me to make it look better when I’ve blow-dried it? A serum or a treatment or frankly anything that will sort out the poof? Or even a tool that I can use to help me blow-dry better, because I am admittedly pretty cack-handed with my hairdryer and blow-dry brush.
I don’t want to change my shampoo and conditioner just yet, because I’m in the middle of a programme to try to encourage hair growth, but honestly, any other tips would be very gratefully received – especially if it’s simple enough for a time-poor hair-dunce like me to manage!
