I really need help with this simple style for next week

[fluffylocks]

Hey yall

Im want to do a simple wrap style for an even next week and i really dont want to go to a salon.


My hair is fine, but it has LOTS of volume and body----I just want it to be sleek and lay down like the first picture....but it has so much volume and body that it looks like the second. no lie.

So what products should i use, and what should i do?

Im not to good at a rollerset to whip that out for next week, and i know that it will just give me more body and volume.

I usually airdry in a tight ponytail, bun, braid, or bantu knots and flatiron.

It does react MUCH better to my ampro pressing oil (The volume got reduced like 40%) than to serums, oil, or any other heat protecants i've tried.

I dont know if its just my hair or what---i've been to the salon a couple of years agon when i first started and my hair layed down and was sleek, but my hair was also really thin because of damage


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well Im sure plenty of ppl would like to have ur problem! lol....very few ppl complain about their hair being too THICK....too thin? yes. Too thick? Not usually! Hmm....well most ppl willl rollerset and wrap for body so I would say blow dry and flat iron only. It usually leaves less body than rollersetting and wrapping. I would use the paul mitchell skinny line to smooth it out as much as possible and flat iron with the serum. Use very small sections to flat iron. Then I would wrap and saran wrap for shine and movement. HTH!

Not thick----its like fluffy volumous hair, like i tease it out or something

Anyway---Thanks you SOOOOOO much

Hi! OT: Is this you? You're pretty!

O.K...I have thick hair too, and to get that look I normally flat iron lightly on low heat and then wrap it up loosely just using my fingers and a brush to put the wrap in place. Also, I use very little product while flat ironing.

Really? She looks so different lol!

Well, normally I prepoo w/ a protein conditioner and amla oil then wash w/ CON poo. Then I use a deep conditioner (ors or ntm) and sit under a dryer for 30 mins to make sure it penetrates. After that I normally airdry, but if I have alot of NG, I will blow dry w/ some heat protectant. Then I use Keracare's Creme Press on my ends and flat iron on medium heat in small sections.

Make sure you tie your wrap down with a nice silk scarf. That may help smash it down and flatten it for you.
