How to control thick, wavy hair

I have very thick, wavy and heavy hair, I suggest going to the hairdressers and get them to razor your hair then buy some good straighteners (I got some for £45, and they are fantastic!) this should do the trick, it's well worth spending a bit more on straighteners.

Hi there, i too have thick hair at times its really hard to look after, because if it gets wet my hair will be like a mushroom by the end of the day! I totally agree about the straighteners, but have never tried the razors etc at hairdressors, is this expensive?.

Hey
I know most people hate curly hair, but i have very tight ringlets and with the right care it can be really nice - dont always go strait for straightners. A good way i found to keep your hair de-frizzed but not stiff and unnatural is this:
You do 2 shampoos when you wash it, and then leave in your conditioner! i know so many people who wash out the conditioner and put aload of products on! its pointless! just leave your conditioner in and it'll keep frizz at bay!

Hey! i have really thick and frizzy hair too. but mine is natural straight. ive tried certain hair cream for frizzy hair and it really works wonder! you could try out body shop. for nights out, you could straighten it with a iron, avoid straighteners as it damages your hair by taking out moisture!
