I am currently a sophomore in college- and have been trying to grow my hair down to about shoulder length since i was a junior in high school.Here it is, I am to go for the grow - I need suggestions on how to make it work- and make it in general- my hair grows out before down- and kinda has a slight wave to it- ive thought about straightening it when it gets somewhat long- any ideas on how to get it to go grow quick would be appreciated.THANKS A LOT FOR EVERYONE's HELP-
Wow, it sounds like you have the exact same type of hair I do! I am in the dreaded ragmopp stage as we type, so I know how you feel - my hair grows out instead of down, and I look like Bozo the Clown when I wake up in the morning!
I am having some success, if you can call it that, by first wetting down my hair, putting in leave-in conditioner followed by gel, which is then followed by hairspray, which is then followed by a baseball-style cap that I wear backwards. It's amazing how much of the misbehaving hair the cap covers up, because as the day goes on, all the junk in my hair starts to fizzle out, and I would rather have a cap on then to have the ragmop exposed to the world!
My hair looks more down than out using this tecnique, and hopefully it is getting trained to grow down - that is, once it gets past the waves, and the curls, and the flips, and the ............
Hang it there!
