Hi everyone,
I am growing the back of my hair to approx shoulder length (front/sides about nose length) and at the mo it is about level with my chin at the back. But it is really irritating me. When I have just washed my hair, etc... the front and top goes perfectly fine and pretty manageable but at the back, it goes into a sort of fuzzy wedge/block instead of just hanging like normal hair and sort of curls up and to the sides a bit at the back. I am forever straightening it out whenever i see a mirror!!!!!
Does anyone have any advice on how to stop the god damn back keep curling/looking like a wirey mess. Also, will the problem of it curling at the back get better when it grows down to about shoulder length?
Cheers, Anon
P.S: When I next get a haircut and the hair at the back is thinned a bit, will this also help the wedge-type behaviour and make it lie properly?
I think that what you need to do is skip the haircuts. That way your hair will grow faster and its own weight will make it behave the way that you want it to. Haircuts are your enemy.
If you cut it shorter, it will likely only become less managable. If you let it grow out some, you can have a thio (ammonium thioglycolate) straightener applied at a salon. It's similar to perm solution, but the process will get out half to 3/4 of the curl, making it behave. Or, you could have a sodium hydroxide relaxer applied (the strong stuff) to get all the curl out . . .
