Hair Despair
Help! What can I do to manage these hair? The only option I've had so far that makes that I can half way control these fly away curls are to have a braided ponytail. And even then several hours later she will be looking like this and the higher the humidity the wilder they become.

Hey,
ReplyDeleteShe is so cute:) I love her braids!! Have you tried some frizz control spray? I have the same problem and it seems to help if I spray it through when my hair is wet.
My coworker has thick THICK long curly hair. She may use hair products like Jennifer suggested, I don't know. I do know that after she applies hand lotion on her hands, she lightly rubs her hands down her hair. Her curls are defined, and it doesn't look greasy. She also told me that she doesn't run a brush through her hair, because brushing makes her hair frizzy. She combs her hair, and usually combs with her fingers. Her hair looks great!
ReplyDeleteMy little sister's hair is like this also. My hair is board straight and I have always wished for curls!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! I can't help, my little girl had very straight hair:)
ReplyDeleteAbout the only curl I deal with is a husband with very wavy hair. Cutting does the trick with him. Nice picture, though. :)
ReplyDeleteIt may be a little unruly...but she has beautiful hair...maybe a little gel for control.
ReplyDeleteYes, you've come to the right place - first of all, get some spray on conditioner or the frizz spray like Jennifer said. My daughter had the same problem and we'd always pull it back, too. Now she uses a straightener on it (the opposite of a curling iron), but she's 17!! Give me a break! Then the lady at the hair place suggested something in a pink bottle (can't remember the name, but it's for black people). We're not black, and I'm not being racist - she just said if you put a little bit in your hands and rub them together and smooth down the hair, it will keep it under control. I tell you what though, that hair makes for some good pictures - we have plenty of those, too! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I didn't get by yesterday - about the red buttons, were you able to have them on your outfits when you were younger (well, duh, obviously you were) but don't the Amish use straight pins? Maybe that's not everywhere though. And I guess red is an OK color, because I thought that was a no-no, too. There are so many different Amish districts, I guess there are just as many rules that govern each. OR....were you all the Amish rebels??? ha ha Isn't it funny how we all have those one or two special outfits that we remember??
She is adorable. My hair is thick & curly and humidity really does a number on it. I've never really tried anything that worked like it says it will. Now that I'm old and my hair is gray - it's easier to deal with in a short style.
ReplyDeleteTry little clips all over :) In school in the late 80s, that's what my frizzy-headed classmates would do... and I think it's back now. That and headbands. (both of the above in conjunction with the braid, though.)
ReplyDeletei think it is darling, i would leave it alone- but then my childrens hair is bone straight and i have to pay big bucks to get it looking like that!

ReplyDeleteAmish girls wear dresses that button down the back until they are 8-10. The ages vary from one settlement to the next. After that they wear a three piece outfit that uses only pins. A dress, cape, and apron.
OR, until they get attacked by a rooster! ha ha See, I learn something new from you every day!
ReplyDeleteShe is a doll! I think curls are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy hair has always been like your daughters. It was a nightmare for my mom, she tried to do anything and everything to it that she could. She finally gave up. I started rubbing a little bit of lotion in my hands (as I got a little older) and running it over my hair in the mornings and sometimes rewetting it a little later in the afternoon to keep it under control. I sometimes have to do this w/my boys' hair as well.
ReplyDeleteI also have very long, very dry and very frizzy hair, and the two products that I love and that actually work are Suave Anti-Frizz Cream and Aussie Leave-in Conditioner+Mousse. Both are available at drugstores for under $4 (and they seem to last a really long time).
ReplyDeleteWith tongue firmly implanted in cheek, I might suggest moving to a dry climate!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how we always want to control and change what we have. Those of us with straight uncurlable hair pay big bucks or just wish for curly hair. Those with curly hair spend money and time making theirs straight.
I think I married my husband in hopes of having curly red-headed children, one out of four was what I got. Her hair is beautiful but some of the products she has tried (to keep it from drying out) turn her hair into a huge mass of felted hair.
what a lovely picture... My girls had curly hair until their first hair cut, I see your daughters hair and it makes me miss my daughters curls....
ReplyDeleteI went to the store and bought clips, and either put them in alone, or go and buy flowers from the craft store and glue them to the clips, then while my daughters hair is wet we clip all around their faces, sometimes we use brown clips so it is less visible, sometimes we use the flower clips - it depends on my daughters moods...
I have read several of your posts now, they are very fun posts!

I think her hair is gorgeous. Have you tried a beauty supply store like Sally's - get a brand for curly hair. They have stuff to tame, straighten etc...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you will come back and check it often.

ReplyDeleteread this post. i have very curly hair - my tips are to never shampoo [mine gets shampooed every 3 months when i have it cut], but use a leave-in conditioner every time it's wet. Shampooing strips the hair of weight, which makes it much frizzier... don't rub it dry with a towel - use an old tshirt or similar to squeeze it dry [terry towelling does terrible things for frizzy hair, as does rubbing hair up and down!]. Don't ever brush it - use a wide tooth comb when it's wet...
