I have very thick, curly hair. Like Chris Cornell Soundgarden circa 1991 (Bad Motor Finger,like that picture)

Ive been growing it out for about a year a half now, but unfortunalty right now its in its akward stage and I feel like I cant do anything wiht it, so I usually just wear it up or straighten it.

Does anyone have any ideas of what to do with my hair, its really frustrating. I dont want to cut it-im growing it out but it was so much easier to manage and style when it was really short,but i miss have long hair it looks the best long. Its really frustrating. Curly hair is so annoying and unmangeable.

Does anyone know how to make soft waves?? Would it work even though my hair is THIIIICK. ??

Is your hair ginger?

you can try getting it chemically straightened
i have done it a few times
it doesn't get mine perfectly straight but it decreases the number of days where i literally want to shave it off because of the frustration of it, which i have also done before and would recommend for a try in the summer sometime when you aren't feeling like having it long
but its a bitch to grow out
i own so many hair do-dads its crazy
but i often need to put some part of my hair into a clip because its just really thick and too much

Are you saying that you haven't even trimmed your hair in a year and a half? If so, then you really have to trim it. You can't go that long without trimming it because it will start to look and feel really shitty. You don't have to trim it any more than an inch.

good point
