Need Hairstyle for thick, frizzy, curly, puffy hair

I need help badly. I have thick, frizzy, curly hair (sometimes my hair is corkscrew and sometimes the curls are big. also, where i live, the air is VERY humid. I can't wear my hair down because it gets so puffy and i can't brush it because it puffs up. so i have been wearing my hair in a ponytail and half up half down almost every single day and a really need a new hair style. Please help me! [Sammy 18-Oct-2007]

I was planning on getting my hair cut quite short but my hair is naturally curly,puffy and frizzy. What styles can I try and what can control the frizz and puffiness? [Alice 14-Nov-2007]

Grow your hair long! I have been fighting with the frizz for years now at chin and shoulder length, but i let my hair grow out super long and it turns out i have nice wavy curls when they're weighed down by the length. I recommend it.

well, there is one hairstyle that REALLY REALLY suits puffy hair, the scene kid hairstyle, look up kiki kannibal hairstyle picture on google, puffiness suits that type of hairstyle.

I have the same problem. My hair puffs up the more. I brush so I brush in the shower.I only do this some of the time becuase it realy damages my hair. When I do not brush in the shower i braid my hair in to to pig tails. Or I straightin my hair. but only sometimes.

My hair is a natural corkscrew curl. i have fought it all my life. Ilove my hair now and will give you some tips. (a book called 'curly girl' is where i found out how to do it.)
I no longer shampoo my hair. haven't in months - i use conditioner daily to wash my scalp. once a week i use brown sugar mixed with conditioner to 'exfoliate' my scalp. When showering, i run condtioner through my hair and then step under the water very briefly... leaving most of the conditioner in. i then take a t-shirt and 'scruch' my hair up soaking up the water til it's no longer dripping. I run my fingers through it to get out tangles. no brush, comb or anything. just fingers. then i 'scrunch' in my hair gel. hair might feel a little slimy :). I use a little gel to go over the top of my hair. then i pin my hair at the part so that it has some volume and pin in place any curls that are unruly. then let air dry. if you can't use a diffuser set on cold. when i am all done - i remove the pins and spray 'vegetable glycerin' on my hair. all done! it's absolutely gorgeous now!!!!

I have the same problem. if you want to go straight then try bed head product but the thrid one does cause flakes so you may not want it. Now if you want o stay culry then try either the herbal essence totally twisted collection or the hello hydration or the Garnier Fructis one for curly hair. After conditioning it let if drip dry a bit just a few mins then add the leave in conditioner generously and the ati-frizz afterwards and continue to scrunch the hair this helps me out, goodluck.

I have the same thing. First of all, i can tell you have damaged hair. Get the ends trimmed off, it will make a huge difference. Do not cut it to short or it will puff more. Comb your hair, while you are in the shower and it is wet. Buy some hot oil treatments, they help a lot. They repair the damage that causes hair to be, frizzy, puffy, and knotty. They are so good for your hair, it gives it such shine, and the nicest texture. What really helps is actually using a spray that puts your hair in loose curls. The straightening ones just make your hair look frizzy yet dead. The curling ones make it look softer and more tame. I have no idea why, but what really helps me is using the shampoos and conditioners for color treated hair. Even though mine is not dyed. They are much more gentle on your hair, and don't remove the oils that keep it smooth.

Hi. Angela, how did you get your hair 'relaxed'? I have aweful hair and it's so hard to look after! It's thick, curly, frizzy and everything bad! My hair length is up to my chin and I usually wear a head band in it. All my friends say they love it, but thats only when I style it. I have to wash it two times a day just to keep the tangles out of it, otherwise it's impossible to brush! I really need help, but I can't find any! I would like to cut my hair short, but I can't find the right hair style and I'm not even sure if I should cut it shorter!! Help!!!

OMG, i have exactly the same problem, so i just use lots of moisterising (hair masks and conditioner.etc.) products, dont brush it after is washed and wrap it up in a towel on the top of your head untill its dried (this takes a long time) and then use things like mousse and pull your hair down instead of puffing it up or you could get a straightener and straighten your hair or get a curling iron to make the curls look a bit more tamed (works for me) hope this helps.

I also have very thick curly hair that is also coarse. I have found that cutting hair short only makes it curlier, I haven't had any luck straighting my hair, doesn't even relax it. but what I have found to help is using a shampoo, conditioner, mousse AND spray gel that is made specifically for curly, frizzy hair. My fav is pantene!!! Make sure it says FOR CURLY, FRIZZY HAIR!!! Blow dry on low while scrunching. Aussie and pantene (I think, pantene) make a spray for humidity, Aussie spray works wonders. Good luck to you!!!

I have the same problem! its really annoying. so i got it relaxed and now i really love me hair. its like naturally looking straight and from the bottom is naturally curly--really little, so the overall hair looks natural, i basically got the middle part relaxed so its natural.
