Anonymous asked: hi my hair has tight curls and it's so thick when i were it down it poofs up on the top what do i do?
Hello Hello :) Thanks for submitting a question.
I’d first say that poofing up has to do with your hair absorbing the moisture in the air, not necessarily the tightest of your curls.
I’d have to ask next, what holding products are you using? If you aren’t using any at all, I’d say that if you want to decrease frizz you need to use a holding product. This usually means some kind of pudding, custard, or gel (or quasi gel). You’d want to layer this over a lite moisturizer.
If you are already using a holding product I’d suggest you try out some that have a stronger hold.
Lastly, I’d ask how porous your hair is. If your hair is porous then it will absorb and release moisture easily. To decrease porosity, you can add protein to your regimen. This may help your hair not absorb soo much humidity from the atmosphere.
Other than that…..I’d say just embrace the frizz/poofiness. I know I do ;). In the summer it’s better to just go with what your hair does, than to fight it.
Hope this helps!
