I have wavy hair, it's not curly, but it's not straight. Oh, and it's long and frizzy. Would cutting it short make it more manageable? I really want 2 cut it short, but I'm afraid it's goin 2 look little-girl-ish
Alright, this is similar to my hair.
I put a lot of care and effort into my hair, so if you're not willing to do that, then stop reading.
But, this is my hair routine:
in the shower, use a shampoo that reduces frizz. I mix one used for restoring shine and reducing frizz. Mine look like this:
after that, wash it out and condition. I use three different conditioners in seperate parts of my hair. First, I use a regular drugstore conditioner on the roots and crown of my hair, because using one too heavy may make your hair look greasy faster. I use this (a different kind, but this is the anti frizz, which would be better for you):
after that, I use this from roughly half way down my head to my roots, it's a deep conditioner that will do wonders in repairing your hair and keeping it shiny and smooth:
I also got that at my local salon, but I believe you can order it online. I'll post links if I can find them.
then, on my ends and sometimes my entire head if I had straightened or curled my hair that day, I use this:
it's definitely my holy grail hair care item. It works so well. Shu Uemura is a really good brand, and their texturizing spray works really well for taming your waves and making them perfect:
both of these I got at local hair salons. Again, I'll try to get links.
tip: the thicker the conditioner, the better it will moisturize your hair. Garnier Fructis has a good one that comes in a pot, too. It's available at drug stores.
I let conditioner sit for five minutes while I wash my face and everything else in the shower, then I'll rinse with luke warm water. Using colder water makes your hair shinier because the warmth somewhat breaks down it's outer barrier.
when out of the shower and lightly towel drying my hair, I use detangler and flip my hair over, combing it out with a wide tooth comb. Be sure to use a wide tooth comb because brushes or teasing combs will just rip through snarls in your hair, breaking the strands and creating more frizz.
After that, I spray biolage stay in conditioner on my ends and body of my hair, to keep it healthy throughout the day:
then I apply an anti-frizz creme so that it dries smooth:
then comb your fringe and what not in the direction you want it to dry with the comb,and you're done.
If you plan on blow drying, spray a heat protectant on your hair to make sure it doesn't get burned by the hair dryer (also use this for straightening, curling, and any other hot tools). I recommend CHI iron guard:
THAR!

-deep breaths-

>_>
final note: don't cut your hair short, but maybe take off a few inches so it's not so long and unmanageable.
uhh..anyone can use this guide.
