sometimes i really really hate having curly hair

[Ava]

because it tangles like crazy.. anyone else with crazy curls knows what i talking about



random topic, i know.. but i can't go to sleep and i'm sitting here trying to untangle my hair :rofl:

[puerco-bellies]

1. I do, my isn't so much curly as wavy. If I put it in a ponytail wet it will form a single curlycue

I did not have to worry about tangles till I hit my mid-forties. For some reason my hair seems to be more inclined to tangle just behind my neck (TMI?).

[Ava]

2. i have really curly hair, and when i don't put gobs of conditioner in it.. it will tangle like crazy

it drives me insane and makes me want to chop it all off.. i do need hair cut

[mwooldri]

5. Short hair on you? Might be good :)

But your hairs nice from what pics I've seen of you anyway.

My wife goes between phases of "long" hair and "short" hair. Either way - whatever makes you feel good and boosted and happy is what counts.

I wonder what Rachel Maddow's hair would look like on you. Maybe wrong face-shape but still...

Mark.

[Ava]

7. i wouldn't get it cut that short

i like having my hair long in winter, but it's just too long right now and too much trouble.. i need to get it cut to be above the shoulders again

[DarkTirade]

22. Mine does the curlycue ringlet thing sometimes too.

[mcctatas]

3. I myself am cursed with the Irish afro...

it is the suck!

[Ava]

4. i'm cursed with the jewish afro

the paternal side of my family has some jewish roots (no pun intended)

[TimeChaser]

21. Jewfro!

Don't they suck? If I don't leave my hair in a ponytail while it dries, my hair goes POOF!

[Ava]

26. i have to put lots of conditioner in mine

if i only use shampoo it gets frizzy and starts resembling a fro >_<

[XemaSab]

32. I have the Irish afro

that I inherited from my Swedish grandmother. :shrug:

[LeftyMom]

6. Oh, how I wish I had that problem.

No amount of heat, product or cursing will get my hair to stay curled for more than ten minutes. :(

[Ava]

8. i have the same problem with straightening

i've tried straightening it for something i was going to, but after a few minutes the curls started bouncing back into place

[LeftyMom]

9. My maternal aunt's hair is like that.

She used to iron it when she was young. :scared:

[Lucian]

10. I wish I had hair to curl.

Damn genetics and age. x(

[Bippity Boo]

11. Donate your hair to Joe the Dumber.

it would make him look a bit less thuglike

[geomon666]

12. I have wavy curls and it's a pain in the ass to maintain.

That's why I buzz it every month.

[UndertheOcean]

13. Curly haired people of the world , unite !

[Ava]

27. 'fo shizzle!

[Dangerously Amused]

14. That's your Halloween wig, silly! Just take it off!

Ha ha kidding, but I did love your costume and honestly I though the 'fro wig looked beautiful on you. Really brought out those gorgeous eyes! I bet if you cut your hair short it would pull the curls nice and tight; be easy-peasy to take care of and look great at the same time. Have you ever had it that short?

[Ava]

15. never that short

i'm scared of cutting it that short :scared:

[XemaSab]

34. Three words:

Don't do it.

I have done it, and it is a mistake, unless you REALLY love the afro. :o

[MsKandice01]

16. I can definitely relate...

It's very frustrating.

[ghostsofgiants]

17. It's been the banme of my existence for some time.

Except when I had dreads. It actually made dreading it much easier, haha.

[Ava]

18. i swear mine feel like dreads sometimes

x(

[Aristus]

19. The choice between curly hair or straight hair is much better than the non-choice

between hair and no hair. ;-)

Your balding friend,

Aristus

[Ava]

28. perhaps you're right

:P

[astral]

20. My hair is not as curly as it used to be

and never quite so wavy as yours, and I always wanted straight hair instead of curly hair. Straight haired people don't even need to brush their hair after coming in out of the wind and I think that's so cool. Me, I brush my hair and if I'm having a bad cowlick phase you can't even tell I brushed it when I'm done.

Maybe you could try having your hair professionally straightened -- just once -- if you want to chop it off anyway, and see how you like it. I used to use this stuff called 'stick straight' and it seemed to work pretty good. I only quit using it b/c I forgot about it but I am also trying right now to avoid chemicals in my hair and body soaps so I can't go back to it right now.

I think your wavy hair looks awful cute on you, though! It's a curse to you but a blessing to some who wish they had curly hair. Life's a bitch ; )

[Ava]

25. when it is short i don't mind the curl

because it's easy to manage.. basically i get up and go - don't have to do anything to it. when it's long like it is now, it's a mess though.. and when it gets tangled it is a bitch!

23. When I was a teenager, I had mine straightened at a salon....

It was raining that day. I remember running into the house to show my mother my new "straight" hair. She looked at me and said "You didn't go"? Damn those flat hair follicles.

[Skittles]

24. believe me, I have it worse

half curly, half straight and NEVER symmetrical :(

[carlyhippy]

29. my hair is a frizzy curly mess

no matter what kind of conditioner I use, it still tangles, and FORGET using a blow dryer, it turns into somthing like this:

[GRLMGC]

30. Had curly hair. Hated it. Chemically striaightened it.

:)

I may let my hair grow back curly eventually, but I'm enjoying the straight hair.

[XemaSab]

31. Try being on a boat on the ocean for two whole days

Curly hear + wind + salt spray = :scared:

[Mutley]

33. Hey, I wish mine would be curly.

Or straight. This half-assed frizzy thing really gets on my nerves. x(

[Grey]

35. You really just need a different way of working with your hair.

I have long curly locks too and no one can convince me to cut them off. If you like your long curls, KEEP them!!

To take care of the dry and frizz, check out Jessicurl products. I SWEAR by them and can not live without at the very least my Confident Coils solution and Inspiraling Spray. Watch the videos and read the curly hair tips for some good info on how to treat your curls, regardless of which products you use. I do (almost) the full routine and that's how my curls stay bouncy, frizz free, and always drawing compliments.

Good luck! I hope this helps.

36. I told you to shave your head but you didn't listen

And I have a new decorative tattoo idea for your shaved scalp: 2008 Rays Rule!

<edit:> More seriously, have you ever considered cutting it fairly short? Lots less maintenance -- and it can look really good

[shanti]

37. you could always do

the dredlock thing ;) *running away*

[Duppers]

38. you're kidding. people pay fortunate to have your hair

the dood doesn't like his curls either. sigh.

He bought some straightener that I could send to you because he doesn't use it.

:hi:
