it's all even'd out, it's length is up to the tip of my nose, my question is...is there anyway that I can make my hair like more stronger or thick..so it can stand up..and not fall flat.
^^ Nobody can help me out? ^^
My hair is wavy and gets a real curl the longer it gets. At this point it is about 6" in length. I now get accused of having a perm. Not super curly, just a lot of body and curls. Still, my bangs will sometimes flop over my face when I'd rather have them go in the opposite direction. The body of my hair made this a challenge, but here's my procedure:
1. I wash my hair with Pantene "classic" and use the matching conditioner (not a lot, although it's weak anyway).
2. I towel dry my hair for minute or so to get it to a very light stage of "damp", then I massage in Pantene gel, called "Body Builder". It's hardly sticky at all and rinses off your hands easily. I don't use a lot -- maybe two quarter-sized globs.
3. If I'm not in a rush, I just use my fingers in the hair for five or ten minutes until the gel dries. If I'm in a hurry, I use a hair dryer on the lowest setting. The gel dries faster than you'd think, and if you do a good job and take your time, it doesn't look like anything is in your hair at all when you are through. The trick is not to use a brush or comb to flatten out your hair. If you go SLOWLY, you'll achieve the look you desire.
3a. IF things don't work, take a towel and just rub your hair out. Next, use your fingers to create the look you want. The gel seems to have a built-in "second try" feature without applying more gel.
4. After everything is in place, I use a touch of hair spray all around to keep everything in place. The gel, you see, doesn't last more for than a few hours. The hairspray can make the look last all day. A small amount of hair spray may not seem to be enough, but use it sparingly. If you use too much, it moistens the gel and creates unpredictable waves and curls as the day marches on.
Of course, this morning I tried this tried-and-true method, only to end up looking like a total 7th grader, so I washed my hair again and went natural. I find this method works nine out of ten times, although I don't do it too often because I don't like a lot of "stuff" in my hair.
I hope this helps!
