What Should I do with my poofy thick curly hair?

Ok let's see, I have this really thick really poofy, totally frizzy curly long hair and i don't know what to do with it. I'm a teenager and i really want a nice down-do but it always poofs and i don't know what to do. My mom has been cutting my hair all my life and i mean like just triming the ends but i really have no style to it. Do you guys have any suggestions on how i should get it cut? Oh and another thing i was thinking about getting side swept bangs like everyone has but i don't think they'll look god on me because i would have all my curly hair and then sraight pieces for bangs. What do you think? thanks for all your help!-Haley

ok. i have the same hair as you, its thick curly and hard to style. Do not get bangs! every time i got those when i was younger, they would just bounce right up into curls! i wish i could get bangs too. don't get layers either cause otherwise it just makes your hair look poofier. Its a sad thing having curly hair because you can't really do anything. The thing that i do to my hair that everyone loves is right after my shower i part my hair into pigtails and then instead of leaving them just in pigtails, i put them into messy buns. like take another pony tail and just put it around big clumps of hair. it doesn't look frizzy and its raelly cute! i also do half pony tails where i put the top half of my hair into a binder, pig tail braids, doing two parts and then braiding each side. if you use Herbal Essences "None of your frizzness" shampoo and conditioner, it really helps! it smells really good, and it really tames my hair alot!

bedhead or aussie products could tone down the frizz. Pantene isn't too bad either. they have totally revolutionized their line and the conditioner is FABULOUS!

I'm down for the sideswept bangs. The curly hair could set if off, but I suggest if you do keep the curly hair, it should be short and the bangs should be long. Otherwise, you will look like a wet poodle who needs a trim.

My sister has really thick quite curly hair too and what she does before she goes to bed is...

Split her hair into bunches, and then split those again so she has 4 bits of hair. Then she twists each section and ties her hair into pigtails, with 3 hairties- 1 at the top, 1 in the middle and 1 at the bottom. This means that all her hair is twisted into pigtails, and stays that way overnight. In the morning when she takes out her hair its flat on top (because its been pulled straightish by the hair tie) and then in kind of ringlets at the bottom. It looks really nice and works because she has long hair. She also has a side fringe. This is a picture of her!

Get some leave in conditioner and also a de frizzing product like TIGI or Bed head to use before you go to bed. Don't be afraid to have your hair cut into layers or to go for a shorter cut. Curly hair can be tamed into awesome ringlets with the right product and hair cut. If you save up you could also go to the salon for a straightening. It's like the opposite of a perm and lasts until your hair grows out.
