I want my hair long but i dont think it is ment to be. It is just a huge puffy ball on my head. When it is wet it is better but still not that good. Please if you know any method to help email the suggestion to me.
Wait about a year and a half, that's the only suggestion, i'm sorry
It takes patience, a lot of times I just get really pissed cause it seems like it will never be long. In about a year I was able to get it into a ponytail, which is great, it doesn't look nearly as bad like that.
I had a friend with hair like that who was trying to grow it out (at the time he was studying to be a Christian pastor). It just bigger more than longer but I thought it didn't look as bad as he made it sound. He finally went back to short hair but if you can deal with then don't sweat it, it doesn't have to look like everyone else's hair. Some hair you just can't manipulate the way you want. There are some creative ways to bring it down but remember all the work people used to put into trying to make it look big...you have it naturally! You will learn ways to "sculpt" it to give you a more desirable feel, I would talk with some hair cutters at a salon about it.
How long is your hair? If you're in the infamous 'awkward stage' it just takes patience. When I grew mine out before, I wanted to cut it MANY times, thinking the same things you are. But Oyo is right, once it can get into a ponytail, it gets easier. The weight of your hair when it gets long (past your shoulders) also helps it look better. It sounds like you just need some patience and support from your pals here on this board! :)
