new thread
Hello guys,
I'm new, I'm growing my hair for like 6 months, ocassionally cutting it to "make it neat" sending the hair grow a few months back :S
I have thick black hair, it seems to be kinda straight at the start and curlying after the first 6 or 7 cms. I'm planning to make it shoulder lenght, I'm like 6 cms behind. The thing is, I think I'm on the Akward phase, I cannot longer use hair gel since I need like a handfull of gel to make it work, so I tried to keep it lose, I can make a ponytail but some of the trends that grow above the ear are not long enough. I'll post a pic as soon as I take one.
The thing is, I live in a hell of a weather (tropical weather), it means lots of humidity at the morning and a extreme sun at the afternoon (morning like 20 to 22°C and afternoon like 30 to 32°C), and I'm not sure about the weather, but I have a hell of a frizz, lots (and I mean lots) of the new short hairs keep pooping up like I had put my wet finger on a electrical source. Well, I shampoo it and use conditioner, I dry towel it and if I don´t use a cream to comb it, it gets sponged. So I use the cream to comb it, nice, it work for almost all day. Now the problem.
At night, it starts to sponge, there is no way to make it look cool again, no more cream, brushing makes it sponged, the only thing to do is wet it all over again and comb it again. Fortunalety I'm at home at the hour and I let it get messier.
The morning after. OMG, thats a mess, it is heavily sponged, trends going up and sideways like I was hit by a truck, I find no way to comb it, I take a bath and repeat the shampoo, conditioner and cream to comb it. I might be doing something wrong, thats why I'm asking those with more experience since I'm still a newbie.
Any help will be greatly helpful. I have the impulse to cut it short haired, but I don't want, I'm struggling through this.
(I'm new at hair vocabulary, sorry about the misuse of words , english not my main language)
Thanks!
Reztav,
Your hair is just going through the awkward phase, where it acts a little crazy. But once it gets longer, it will settle down and behave better because it will be heavier. Don't worry, the best thing to do is wait it out, and you'll have great hair before you know it.
Hope this helped

Try some hair clips with a ponytail, I think its the only solution.
