I need help with my hair.?

I have African-American textured hair. It is very thick and soft. Everytime I wash it, it goes POOF! I want to know a way where I can wash my hair and without flatting it (takes Hours) to put it in a style that looks cute. I also want to know if there is anyway there is a food or a type of shampoo that increases hair growth. Thanks.

YO READ IT ALL IT'LL DO GOOD IF U REALLY KARE BOUT UR HAIR.

EYY I RESEARCHED N THESE R PEOPLE'S RESPONSES TOWARDS DIZ QUESTION:

1.trimming your hair regularly stimulates growth, strang as it seems! this gets rid of split ends, and spilt ends make your hair look less healthy and stunt its growth. a good hair-calming product is 'frizz-ease' (by john freeda I think) if you use this and let your hair dry naturally you can get really nice defined curls, or you can blow dry it straight and it looks really smooth... hope that helps!

2.To make curly hair less curly, you have to 'unflatten it' with heat and humidity. I'm not a hair stylist, I'm just talking about physics. I suggest going to a real stylist and asking about it. There may be hair products that can do it for you. Also, I've heard electrical stimulation can promote hair growth, but I don't know if it's true or not. Basically they zap your scalp for a few minutes, and it doesn't hurt, it just tingles like shampoo bubbles or something.

3.I also have curly hair. I chemically straighten it, in a salon. That costs a lot. There are a few home chemical relaxers. For example, Ogilvie Straightener works very well. And if you want your hair to grow faster, NutriSilk Vitamins work very well. Also the electric shock thing, it works well too. I have had it done 4 times, and my hair did grow a lot faster. If you trim hair regularly, it doesn't make it grow faster. It only seems like it because your hair has less breakage. When you have a split end for a long time, it makes its way up the hair shaft, so hair looks thinner, therefore looking shorter.

4.NEVER TRIM YOUR HAIR, IT DOESN'T HELP!!!!! However, I recommend this all-that scalp massage every day. You just rub your scalp with your fingertips or nails every night for 5 minutes, then take small sections of hair and pull them hard enough so that you can feel it. I've been doing this a wjile and my hair definately seems to be growing faster. Try it, you've got nothing to loose!

5.well I think to make your hair grow longer you should take a fork and scratch it on your head for 5-10 min. a day and also when you brush your hair you should brush it 100 times each way right, left, back, and forth so in total 400 strokes if you want it longer in a day you can always get extensions (but that costs a lot)

also if you dont want to do any damage to your hair but you still want it to calm down I reccommend dove anti poof cream just put a little bit on after you shower

I swear its a miracle worker because I have really poofy hair and I put that stuff on and it works really good but I like it straight so I just straighten it afterward but its not poofy if you just put the dove stuff on and not staighten it like if you dont have time or something just rub that in your hair and BOOM its calm

6.I think what iloveboyshorts was trying to say was SUNSILK anti poof cream to calm your hair down. I have poofy, sometimes wavy hair that just gets big when it drys and this stuff is truly amazing. I keep trying different products because im like that, but I always come back to this one. (lately my new thing is hair serum, like the john frieda frizz ease, although I havent tried that one yet.) if you want to calm your hair down, try this stuff. its pretty cheap, but dont use too much cause it can load up on your hair and thats BAD (clarifying shampoo, if this happens. so not that bad.)

also, as far as growing faster, I dont think thats possible. just eat good. hair is made up of protien, so eat foods rich in that. (chicken, nuts, protien shakes or bars..)

hope this helps!!

7.Issue # 1: Hair Growth- To grow your hair faster try: coconut oil its great for the scalp, buy some good vitamins, B complex. Try taking some ginseng it works. Try F.A.S.T shampoo, which is sythenic or Beauty 4 Ashes super gro products with are all natural and work well if you have slow hair growth or thinning hair.

Issue #2: Calming Curly Hair. Try shampooing your hair more often with shampoos that contain citrus. I believe all nature products are better try either Aubrey Organics of GodHead Silky Smooth by Beauty 4 Ashes. I know the Silky Smooth will tame your hair because it keeps my girlfriends new growth flat between perms when it trys to puff up and get really curly.

8.I use olive oil, which works great for me. I also try to wear my ponytails as loose as possible. This will surely prevent hair damage and breakage.

9.I have long(lower mid-back)thick hair that is very curly (1/2 -1/4 inch curls) and have had 19 years to try and figure out what works. first off, trimming you hair does not make it grow faster but it is imperative to growth. if you do not get your hair trimmed then it will become weak and brittle causing the hair to break off and keep any new growth from appearing. I get my hair trimmed about every three months but that is because I am very careful about my hair so it does not get very damaged. I wash my hair every 3 days. this may not seem like a lot but the curlier hair is the less oil it produces so overwashing it causes damage. I never brush my hair or even run my fingers through it unless it is wet and has conditioner in it. be very careful to work out knots and nit pull them out. pulling only creates more split ends. I brush in my conditioner (try mane - n -tale it has horses on the front. absolutely amazing for long hair) and them apply Cholesterol (wal-mart in the black haircare sec,$2)from mid way up my head (avoid the roots) and brush it through.I get out and put enfusium 23 leave in conditioner, brushing it through from root to tip. I then turn my head up-side down and apply a very liberal amount of loreal light headed gel (3 bucks at wal-mart) from root to base and run it through with my fingers. next, scrunch your hair. scrunching is so very important because it will help to train your hair to hold the curl. what ever you do do not pull at the curls. this will mess up the curl and it will be stringy and frizzier. I also do a deep conditioning once every 1-2 months (over conditioning can weaken hair) I always sleep with my hair down. I know that it might be had to get used to but putting it in a bun, braid or pony tail will flatten the curl, making it look nappy (not to mention the hair tie will only damage your hair) I never use hair ties unless im working out. go to wal-mart and buy some small hair clips, you know, the ones with six little prongs on the end, they work great!I hope that this will help you out! just keep it healthy and strong and you'll be fine!

How to depoof %26amp; style Poofy hair

http://geebal.blogspot.com/2007/11/poofy...

I need help with my hair.?

I'm the same way. It's difficult because I'm mixed, black %26amp; white. One day it's, like yours, it poofs %26amp; the next it's flat!?

But on the poof days I'll use moose or this gel stuff by Garnier(?) %26amp; if it's to bad I use that gel %26amp; put it in a hair bow.

I need help with my hair.?

I agree with Jesse, I just started using Ojon. Pricey but great stuff and it smells so good. I have African American type hair also. Give it a try, you can get it QVC.com and they have try me kits and if you don't like it, send it back :).
