Lucky girl…she’s so pretty. I have always wanted my daughter’s hair too…strawberry blonde and curly. To this day (she is almost 16) all she has to do is wash and rinse and it dries perfectly on it’s own. My hair NEVER did that. Lucky, lucky girls!
When I have hair (chemo took it this past March) that’s what mine looks like. Yes, I am lucky and I love it. This book has helped me “tame” it. It is awesome and it works. I also know a hairdresser in Santa Monica who cuts and styles in this method. Quite a drive for you I know, but might be worth it – she’s awesome. Let me know if you want her info too…… http://www.amazon.com/Curly-Girl-Lorraine-Massey/dp/0761123008
Her hair is great, but I doubt you’d want it if you knew firsthand what a pain curly hair can be. My mom always wishes she could have my curly hair. Ditto for my SIL and MIL. What no one with straight hair gets is that thick curls tangle so easily and so intricately that it can literally hurt to detangle them. I can’t use detangler combs, and I tried lots and lots in 30 years. They either end up getting stuck in my hair as I detangle, or they pull out hair chunks if I yank enough. I can never ever wash and go. I tried to grow my hair long, and the upkeep was monstrous, and that’s just the amount of time I spent finger combing wet hair.
Wouldn’t you know, I’d kill to be able to have long, straigh flowing hair for just one day. Not saying all curly haired people feel that way, but Annie might some day. I know I look at my SIL’s hair as longingly as she looks at mine.
Oh, I have. I’m just a really hopeless case. I’ve figured out the only way my hair can be manageable is by never letting it get longer than chin length, and conditioning it with Alaffia’s Beautiful Curls balm (don’t know how I lived without it for so long!).
I have very curly hair that is now almost long enough to cut a 10″ pony tail off for Locks of Love. I love it because I don’t have to do anything to it! And to think: I wanted straight hair as a kid–silly me!
I use Frizz Ease shampoo & conditioner & brush my hair in the shower while still wet with a Con-Air hairbrush (absolutely has to be oval shaped & wire-bristle w/ball tips) & only use a quick-dry micro-fiber hair towel or old t-shirt to pull it up in as I get out of the shower. Follow w/ Frizz Ease Curly Hair Gel or Mousse, depending on my mood, and I’m good to go.
On days when I don’t shower or if I’m going out in the evening and my hair is finally dry and I want a little more gleam to it, Moroccan Oil is my best friend!

Umm, that is NOT what my hair looks like…after swimming, after styling at the salon, or ever! Jealous!

Check out the Curly Girl book Annalisa (see my post above). I too have thick crazy curly hair – the book was a godsend.
