Okay, I'm 15 years old and I been growing my hair out for almost a year. I don't have very many photos of my long hair yet all I have to say is that my hair is real thick ( my friends make jokes and say "dude, you have like 10 billion strands of year ). Anyway, the thing that disturbs me the most is the wave on the back of my hair that sticks out mostly on the right side.. Is there any way to get rid of that? Maybe there's some way to chemically straighten it or something? Along with that is there a way to make my hair thin out a little bit? I still want it to look thick but not as thick as the way my hair is... I haven't had a trim in a while maybe this is the problem.... Suggestions?
Simply grow your hair further and the problem will get solved without anything else.
If you still want to try something there are many possibilities like using a straightening iron, gel, or chemically straightening.
But you should be aware of using such stuff, cause it may damage your hair if you aren´t careful enough.
So imo it´s the best for you, if you wait till your hair growth solves the problem :) Thick hair can be a great problem in awkward stage, because it looks too big sometimes. So it´s the same suggestion like above, grow your hair further and the prob should get solved. If you still have problems you could try layering your hair.
Agreed. I would recommend resorting to gel before a straightening iron to avoid damage, although there are many on this board who successfully use straightening irons. The layering could work, although I would use the two week rule just like with any kind of trimming. During some of my growth years ago, I let someone talk me into layering, and I hated the result. Layers take a long time to grow back out, so make sure its what you want. It will be thinner and much more difficult to hold in a ponytail.
