well i am the type of person that has alot of hair, and getrs very poofed. My mother says i have a lot of layers. Now, is there any way i can cut these layers that make my hair look all big and poof?. Or can i just use some sort of luquid taht cvan keep my hair down?
Let me explain layers to you here if I can because I have worn my hair like that for years. Layers is shorter hair laying on top off longer hair from the top of the head on down. Cutting this will do nothing for the poofiness but make it worse. The only way you are going to beat this poofiness on a grand scale is to be patient with mother nature and let your hair grow. The longer all these layers get, the more weight they aquire, thus the more they lay down against the head doing away with the poofiness all together. In the mean time you can use various different, preferably alcohol free, styling gels to help hold it down. Remember this, you are in the awkward stage of long hair growth. Poofiness is a major part of this process, especially with people like you and I who have thick hair. PATIENCE in the growing process is essential to accomplishing your long hair goals. My hair is in the awkward stage right now and it is poofy, big, disobedient, etc. but I don't care because I know in a year or so I will be doing just fine because it will be long enough by then to lay down 100% better. I usually just go around with my hair the way it is and run my hands through it a couple million times a day, or I wear a hat. That's all I do because right now is not my real hair time, a year or so from now will be my real hair time because then it will be where I want it and from there the skies the limit. Peace!
