When hair-product instructions begin with " Take a dime size amount to start..." you laugh so hard you fall on your butt.

    I love this, this is hilarious. But since I've stumbled upon a place filled with curly haired women, can I ask, in all seriousness, how the heck you get it under control?!?! I'm a no fuss sort of person, and I have always just left the house with my hair still wet and it looked great when it dried. Now that I live in Florida (and it seems to be getting worse as I get older too), my hair is crazy poofy and frizzy and since I've never really done hair, I can't seem to figure it out!!

    Go ahead, laugh at me. Then give me your best and easiest tips, please?!?

    Ha! Imagine living down here. I haven't worn my hair completely down all summer. For the first year at my job, a few people would comment how my hair looks different every day. I guess they're just used to it now.

    It takes 50 minutes of an hour hair appointment to wash, brush, blow dry and flat iron your hair enough to actually cut it. This really happened to me. :blushing:

    I'm like the laziest "getting ready in the morning" person maybe ever. What I've been doing lately is not washing it every day, but condition it and rinse that out. Then towel it dry and then I'm putting coconut oil on it, from middle to ends and then combing that through and letting it dry. It's not perfectly beautiful every day, but I've had more good hair days lately than at any other point in my life. But be careful to not use too much- b/c then you have stringy curly hair, not good. Like I probably use maybe about half a teaspoon?

    When it rains the day of or after you go for a blow out at the salon

    It takes more than an hour to "do" your hair (straight)

    You show up to work in the morning with wet hair cause blow drying - even with that stupid little attachment- just creates frizz

    You have stock in garnier frizz control products (especially the oil- love that stuff, and the spray on gel)

    You own several curling irons, big ones, small ones, a couple straighteners, a blow dryer, several large round brushes, and several other products promising easy straightening and it still takes at least 2 hours (atleast for my hair) - my hair in my profile pic took the full 2 hours to make it that way

    The one time I went I had to cut the pony tail holder out of my hair to wash it the next morning. It was like that episode of Friends where Monica has to get the beach braids b/c of her hair totally poofing out lol.

    I started using the garnier essential oil (I think that's what its called, its a mix of oils like morrocan and others, works great for moisture) and their spray on gel-- it doesn't way it down but controls frizz without it looking like it is stiff with gel

    I always leave the house with it wet and when it dries it looks great!

    I also don't wash it everyday, I rinse out the gel and put in conditioner so that it doesn't get dry anymore

    I personally have a fantastic flat iron that uses infrared rather than heat to keep my hair healthy and shiny. I love it to death, but I'm new to styling my hair. Even though it only takes 30 minutes, it's still 30 minutes I would rather sleep in. Love doing it when I go out. I also think it will be easier when I start working with it. Cost a freaking fortune though ($250+).
