Do any of you ladies with thick wavy hair have a difficult time fixing it?

I have thick wavy hair and yes people say that they wish they had this kind and when i see girls with thick curly hair on TV, I want it! Ironic isn't it? See, my hair is thick and curly, until I comb it and then the wavy comes out. Either way, it's not smooth and shiny. I get my hair cut regularly and wash and condition it. What else should I do so that it can come out smooth and shiny?

Also, when I straighten it, it only takes most of the wave out. it is still not smooth and shiny--or perfectly straight! what do I do?

We were separated at birth, I think! haha I only tried to straighten my hair once and it was disastrous, just turned my hair into a fro, so I gave up on that idea.

What I usually do is brush and comb it out *before* I shower. I use shampoo and conditioner for curly hair, though I can't tell you any specific brand -- I tend to switch every so often. Sometimes it's Garnier, sometimes it's Dove, just depends. Every now and then I'll also use Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle stuff -- smells good and it helps tame frizz. After I get out, I'll finger comb through my hair to get out the tangles, and then put in Dove's Curl Conditioning Mousse. I normally hate mouse, but Dove's is really light and non-sticky, and it works miracles. %26lt;3 Anyway, then when it dries I've got light, bouncy, thick curls. Next day, I don't brush it -- again, I finger-comb through my hair to loosen up any tangles, then use Garnier's Smoothing Milk cream to tame the bushiness -- and, incidentally, it works better for me than Aussie's Sprunch Spray.

Moral of the story: don't use a brush on your hair after you get out of the shower. It'll just make you frizz up like crazy. Use a comb if you have to, but brushes are hell on thick, curly hair.

Do any of you ladies with thick wavy hair have a difficult time fixing it?

my hair is VERY thick and VERY curly. Let it be natural. I used to straighten it and it was more trouble than it's worth. I use TIGI Curls Rock curl amplifyer and then I add some mousse. Use a difuser when blow drying. My hair stays very soft when using those products and it looks shiny too. Try not to wash it too much because that can cause it to dry out.

Well I had the same problem and I ended up cutting my hair short, occupational requirement, but bofore that I would use shine serum, i like John Frieda, and then use a shampoo specifically made to protect from heat damage. i hope that helps. good luck
