ARGH my hair is rebelling!!!

[stormy07]

Ok, my hair has gone schizo!!!! It. Will. Not. Lay. Down. At. All. it won't stay smooth! no matter what I do or don't have on it. I've tried my cantu shea butter, my ic lite gel, my qhemet, my pantene hydrating curls, everything! (NOT at the same time) and it just won't behave! I've been co washing every other day, or once a week, I've DC with helene cholsterol and it's still being stubborn! I'm tempted to flatiron it and see what happens...ERGH

freaking bipolar hair.....

ok I feel better....rant over..

To tame my hair I put gel on the night before, put a scarf on that section and its nice and smooth in the morning. This won't work if Im trying to smooth and run out of the house..no no. HTH

Don't use oil and gel at the same time....use the gel *by itself* and your hair WILL lay down.

Hmm....first of all I totally understand your frustration. It takes some serious heat to straighten my hair and when I wear it natural, I've found tons of conditioner works well (HE Totally Twisted). Maybe another type of deep condish is what you need. I just started using Banana Brulee and when I used it with heat, it works great! It made my hair so soft and managable. Stormy, you almost look like you could be my hair twin, except your hair is thicker. I actually want it to be thick like yours. Girl, keep your head up. I'm sure you'll find some advice that will work for you!

Thanks, Stormy! Actually my hair has a lot of damage due to highlighting and heat, so I'm working at getting it healthy. Wow, your hair looks thick but not doubt, it's very pretty! A couple of questions: are you having issues when wearing it natural? Do you wear it straight?

thanks miss princess

Aww, sorry Stormy - I know your pain. Maybe this will help.... about a month ago I ran across a website where this woman (Teri) talked about her experiences and frustrations with her curly, biracial hair. She also tells you, step-by-step, about the regime she came up with that works for her. I was able to take some of her advice and it made the difference for me. I emailed her and she was nice enough to reply and give me more detailed instructions. Check her out at: www.biracialhair.info. She may have some tips that will be helpful to you as well!
