so my hair's long now (just above my shoulders). as it grew out, i got the back trimmed so the top/front could catch up. it's coarse, curly, and thick so if i ever try to wear it down i end up putting it in a pony tail within an hour of going out. it's poofy (best way to describe it, i think). anyway, do i have to get it styled... as in get a haircut specifically for longer hair before i can wear it down? or are there products that i can use that will tame it. i like how it looks when it's wet, but then it dries huge. thanks. josh
It sounds like your hair is not quite long enough to weigh itself down.
Are you applying some kind of gel to your damp hair?
This helps keep your hair layers pressed more closely together (i.e. flatter).
What's wrong with wearing it in a tail until it gets longer?
Cutting it in any way may delay the effects you are after.
Good Luck!
