Curly hair shoots too fuzzy
My hair often looks too fuzzy in my shots. I put hair products in it to reduce frizz, but unless I spray it down with water every ten minutes, it just shoots fuzzy. What is the best solution without using a ridiculous amount of expensive hair product? Apr 10 06 01:39 pm Link Hey dude - I have stick straight hair, but am aquainted with many curly-haired folk like yourself, and they all use this line of products: Devacurl. They are supposed to be just fantastic for curly hair, and I've seen the smashing results...or rather, non-frizzy results. Unfortunately, that's all I know in regards to frizzy hair. Hopefully more stylists can be of assistance. xo Apr 10 06 02:07 pm Link Jay Dezelic wrote: hahahahahahah! oops, sorry. well, here's my 2 cents of good/bad news... YOU NEED TO USE A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF HAIR PRODUCT! sorry. lessee... maybe there's some other way... you'll need to practice. but i was a hairstylist for a dozen years... and most curly hair wants to explode if you touch it. massive amounts of goo keeps it stuck together. Apr 10 06 02:32 pm Link I feel your pain  I my self am a curly girl too so this is one of my tricks, apply your products into your hair while its wet, then using a defuser dry your dair. then spray with a light hold hair spray, if its still fuzzy next time apply more product to wet hair and let air dry or use a defuser on your blow dryer this will help with the frizz ohh and try not to play with it too much this will make it fizz out . The amout of product depends on how much hair you have, I have really long thick hair and i use mousse and a cream smoother in my hair while its wet. Also try to avoid products with alot of aclcohol. And if your having a shoot on wednesday wash your hair with shampoo on Monday. I know my hair looks the best with about 2 or 3 days of product in it. Talk to your hair stylist and may be they will have more info for you. Good luck Mandy of Deadly Design Make-up Artistry. Apr 10 06 08:46 pm Link ahh..I have dealt with this my whole life. Here's my routine: When hair is damp I mix a drop of coconut oil with pomade. I never comb or brush. Let it air dry, do not TOUCH it. That makes it frizzy. Apr 10 06 10:09 pm Link Wow. I guess I am not the only one with this problem. Great tips all. Although I was hoping for a silver bullet solution. I like the idea of coconut oil. - I will have to try that. I knew a girl in high school that put eggs and mayonnaise in her hair at least once a week. - It seamed to work good for her. Maybe I will try to concoct something for my hair. What other natural things can be used to add shine and provide anti-frizz? I occasionally get hair products that work, but my hair stylist always seems to sell me something different every time I go in. - She changes her lines frequently. And, If I do get something that actually works, it gets really expensive if I use enough product to make my hair look good all the time. Apr 10 06 10:36 pm Link My hair is very curly too (a lot like yours), and quite thick. Once, I disguised myself as Foxy Cleopatra (from Austin Powers, she's the black girl with the golden afro) for Halloween. Really. Wasn't even hard. Most of the year, when it's not too hot or humid outside, I have my hair flat-ironed straight. It's much less of a hassle that way, and my hairdresser is very good at making the brushing hold (see my pictures!). In the heat of summer, it becomes very hard to do anything remotely good with it. It gets extra frizzy and curly, it's annoying. I try to stay where there is conditioned air and not to go outside. I avoid swimming pool as much as I can, the chlorine dries the hair. It's hell when june, july and august come. The best I can do is to put more straightening products, let it air dry and not touch it. The last part is the key. A greek friend of mine who sports waist-lenght black, curly hair told me she brush her hair under the shower (while using conditioner, it's easier), and before towel-drying it so it won't drip everywhere, she puts gel, to define the curls and to prevent it to get too much volume.

I see a couple of shots where your hair is totally strait. - Did you have a stylist or salon straiten it or did you do it yourself? Apr 12 06 02:40 pm Link I have super curly hair too. The biggest problem I have is keeping my hands out of it.. lol.. But I do what someone else said, put in plenty o product while wet, and let it air dry, then don't touch it. It still manages to have a rather alarming amount of body at the end of the day but everybody always compliments me on it.. I use some Garnier Hair Milk stuff in a pump bottle.. It's pretty good..

I've done my own hair for virtually every image so far in my portfolio...it's hard to find hair stylists for shoots! Apr 12 06 04:24 pm Link I think all us people with long curly hair should kindnap a team scientists to work on this problem. I will try the coconut oil - maybe try mixing it with kelp or something with a natural varnish. Good ideas - thanks!

Apr 13 06 10:11 am Link Its not diffrent in scotland. Besides, being "diffrent" not to conform is the same as conforming, just be who you are.
