Hey, you may remember me from a few days ago.
I have a few questions regarding combing and the kind of hair I have. My hair is the kind that when I comb it, it poofs all up into a big mess, even if I try flattening it. The hair doesn't look that great either, unless I DO somehow manage to get it flat. Anyway, is there anything that I can do about this poofing? Will it start getting less poofy as my hair gets longer? Do I really have to comb other than one comb before my shower to get rid of tangles?
I probably asked a lot of stupid stuff, but you guys really helped me last time. Thanks in advance!
I might also want to add that my hair is very strange in a way that if I put it up in a certain position, it will just stay there more-or-less in the place I put it. I have very bendy/poofy hair and I'm hoping I can grow out of this once I get longer hair. My hair never moves no matter how hard I shake my head and it never comes down naturally if I put it up with my fingers, for example.
Will I grow out of this in a bit?
Do you have a picture of your hair?
I took 3 pictures just a minute or two ago.

It seems your hair is very similar to mine. Mine is getting less poofy as it grows, even though it's only a little bit longer than yours.
My hair looks better if I comb it with only a wide-toothed comb. First, I 'comb' it with fingers until there are no tangles left, and then I try to make it look a little better with the comb.
Actually, after that, I can even brush it without it becoming 'poofy'.
You've got very thick wavy hair, which will stick out while your in the akward stage. I think your hair will always be thick but with added weight it will be better.
I think you shouldn't brush it and minimize combing. Finger combing to get rid of the tangles.
