Hehe. Well, join the ranks. I have poofy thick CURLY hair. If you think wavy is bad. I had the afro stage too, but it does pass. And from my experiences found that it's quite unique having rings of hair instead of the customary. Definately got compliments on my "beautiful curls". It's a blessing and a curse, hope you get through the afro stage unscathed.
Wish I could post some pics of the longer hair. Sometime soon perhaps.
Oh man, you and I have the same type of hair, ultra poof!!! How many months have you started growing your hair out for? Because right I myself am at 4 months only, and it looks kinda nasty and afroish too. My suggestion, use cheap gel thats alcohol free from lets say a dollar store and grease down the fro, ain't nothing better then long, wet looking, greasy strands of hair, wohooo!! I have thought of cutting my hair off but thanks to the board I've decided not to. So please, enjoy your poofy hair and continue growing it out, I'm sure it will stop being a fro at some point, until then gel it up to untolerable greasy goodness.
Let it grow out... The fro look is big here in Hampton Roads area of VA. Nothing wrong with being that way... Eventually you will be able to tie it back...
How poofy, how thick, and how wavy? My hair fits that description rather well, and it's grown out quite well.
your hair genetics are perfect, how can you say you'd rather have thin hair? then you'd complain that you didn't have enough hair! just stop thinking about your hair, what does it matter if it poofs out?
and yes, of course it will go down with weight and look closer to accepted standards.
good luck, it's not so bad :)

Na, the grass isn't always greener on the other side! No one has perfect genetics, there's no such thing. I've got pretty thick Wavy hair which even curls sometimes, for example I have some ringlets on my fringe and sides. Just break all your mirrors, don't look back and grow that hair!
Blow dry it straight.... its not damaging if you use condioner and if your really paranoid you can get a heat protector spray. Also im liking tigi catfight at the moment which adds texture and shine.
