Try a bit of mousse on your hair and scrunch it up after washing.

Or, perhaps have a few longish layers cut into it. Keep it long underneath, but layer it a bit on the top and at the sides. Not too much though or you may end up looking like Slash from Guns 'N' Roses back in the 80's.

Or, how about getting it styled something like Jennifer Grey had it in Dirty Dancing?

Ask your hairdresser to cut long layers into your hair.This will enable you to keep your length while making your hair have a bit more bounce.

Layers will set your curls free! The style that you seem to me to be describing, is a long, layered cut. This is one of the basic cuts that all hairdressers must learn. To do it, the hairdresser will first cut a section at the top of your head to the length that she wants the shortest layers (a guideline), then will begin sectioning the rest of your hair vertically, and combing the section up and using the guideline to cut the layers. Because the hair is all lifted above the head, this cut naturally produces layers that are longer at the bottom than at the top, which allows for maximum curl release.

That means that the first cut the hairdresser makes (at the top of the head) is the most important. You need to decide ahead of time how long you want that layer to be, because that's how far above your head she'll lift the other hair to cut and it will determine more than anything how your hair looks. Remember, you can always ask her to cut more, but she can't glue it back on, so ask her to err on the side of length.

Another note: If you want the best results, don't go on a weekend or during a lunch hour. If you can go on a weekday midafternoon, when the shop is at its slowest, the hairdresser will be willing to give you much more time and attention.

hey, tell your hairdresser to give it a deep conditioning treatment, to protect it from the heat damage, then ask her fror a 'hair relaxer' which basically means that shele relax the curls but u can still have it straight, its not cheap, but definatly worth it!

I have the exact same hair type and it's past my shoulder blades.

Here is what I recommend.

Go to a stylist and tell them that you want your hair layered. Layering really helps accentuate curls, it helps them from being all bogged down at one length-the curls won't get stuck together.

I generally use any shampoo and conditioner that is specifically formulated for curly hair that you can find at the general store. Some of the ones I use: Ganier Fructis for Curly Hair, L'Oreal Vive Curly Hair, Pantene Pro-V for Curly Hair.

As for product, most of the time I use product that goes along with the rest of the line of shampoo and conditioner. But sometimes I mix and match. I generally tend to buy 3 things, 1)something that cuts down on frizz 2) something that defines curls and 3) leave in conditioner (specifically Pantene Pro-V leave in conditioner for Women of Color) this last product you can apply and not worry about anything else-it takes care of the two steps in one. But again, I like to mix and match and not stick to one routine.

Ideally, the best way to dry curly hair is air-dry. But that is not always practical so either buy a hairdryer that has an diffuser attached to it or you can buy a diffuser for your current hairdryer. Having a diffuser is key for having curly hair. When you blow direct air onto curly hair, it causes it to frizz and curls become less defined. When blow drying hair, use the highest heat setting and low to med. speed.

Also nice is a medium-sized barrel curling iron to help define curls.

When you are finished-try not to touch your hair for the rest of the day. Continous touching can make it frizzy.

Now if it's going to be particularly wet and damp I usually apply something that is a silicone based product- John Frieda's Frizz Ease Hair Serum is great. The whole John Frieda Frizz Ease line is great for curly hair, but I just happen to be poor. :)

Good luck!

get some of the weight taken out of it or ask for layers this will help make it curly and also makes it easier if you want to straighten it or you could flick it out to give it a 70`s look there is actually quit a lot you can do with your hair if you get this done hope this helps!
