Growing out curly hair, what a pain!

Growing out curly hair, what a pain!

Rob

I have curly hair (or maybe VERY WAVY hair, depends how you like to think of it I guess) and growing it out is a pain in the ass. Most people who post progress pics here have straight or slightly wavy hair but does anyone with curly or very very wavy hair have pics anywhere from 6 months to a years worth of growth? It really does suck, I see people with slightly wavy hair complaining about the awkward stage all the time, I have it ten times worse. I'm not sure if there are two types of curly hair or what the deal is. I see people with the type of curly hair that grows outward into an afro, these guys can wear a hat all day and when they take it off the hair is just as curly. Then there's the people who have curly hair that, although out of control and sticking out everywhere, grows downward (i'm in this group of people) It's cool to know that despite my very wavy/curly hair it will eventually be long and not an afro but it is still horrible as it grows out. So are there any other people with curly hair here who can provide pics? (Like I said I'm especially interested in seeing pics from 6 months to a year's worth of growth) and can give any tips on products to use? Like leave in conditioners and stuff? (Not gel!!)

  Same. All I suggest is just try and live with it for now. Think of the end result dude.

  Stick with it, it will be worth it! The curl/wave in your hair will probably make it look great when it get longer.

  I have the exact hair your described. Unforunately, I'm only 3 months into growing it out so I don't have pics.
  Does anyone?

  I too am at the 3 month stage with pretty wavy hair.
  I'd love to see some midway pics too, but I figure I can wait and see what happens... everyone says that wavy hair with some curls is the best when long! Keep er growin, the chix will be all over us!
