: I've been growing my hair out for going on 6 months. I just found this site and thought I'd post a picture of my progress with a couple of questions.
: My hair is extremely thick and wavy/curly. It usually is very poofy and frizzy. the picture shows my hair flattened out a bit from wearing a hat but will the poof and frizz eventually go away from the weight of my hair? I've tried growing out my hair numerous times but just couldn't seem to get past the stage i'm currently in due to how crazy it gets but I'm trying to hang in there this time around.
: thanks
Hi Condo,
Welcome to the board! If you want to grow your hair you have come to the right place! I am not sure how long you have grown before cutting so far. But I can say that the poofiness will get less the longer and heavier your hair gets. Frizziness can be handled with other methods. I would not use brushes. I would also try different shampoos and conditioners to find suitable ones. Also, try to wash your hair less frequently. Shampoo has a bad habit of making hair "fluffy" unless you have naturally flat or limp hair.
You just need to try not to pay much attention to your hair while it's growing. I would wear hats since they seem to help you keep your hair tamed. My hair is not exactly tame, but it has improved since I have been growing about 16 months. I am just barely breaking shoulder length with all my stupid layers. Once the layers grow out, everything will be much better. The same will happen with your hair. Just let it all grow out. I would be willing to bet you will be very happy with it at mid-back length. But you will never know until you do it! Hope this helps and I wish you much success in the journey my friend!
