complete frizzy "poof" head!!!!

O.K. - it has only been a couple days of not messing with my hair and I am a COMPLETE FUZZY POOF HEAD!!! I mean really, it is quite ridiculous looking. I am trying not to sound like a vain barbie doll here, but I need a little help/encouragement. I have tried a little aloe, but with my hair being naturally curly and leaning towards dry, it just sucks up the aloe like I never even used it 15 minutes later. Approximately how long does this stage last????????And does anyone have tips or words of encouragement? All I get at home right now is wierd looks - ha ha!! By the way, I am not really a "hat" person,

I will have to get a picture uploaded, but if you look at my profile picture, you can see the tendancy for my hair to be frizzy - and that is with a heavy conditioning shampoo and conditioner. I don't have any dreads yet, just frizzy curly-cues starting to form. If you are familiar with Rosanna Rosanna Danna from SNL, just picture her hair - that's about how I feel I look!!! soaringeagle said:

you'll find what works for you, especially when sections start to form,this is probably the most most frustrating phase in time,generally it last months, mine was hard for me for about 4-6months time,your hair looks beautiful, and will lock up well if its anything like ur profile pic I know how it feels, it's frustrating,,, but so is curly hair, lollook into using beads when you can or even wraps since your not a hat person, tho if you can in ur spare time, still would recommend it since you tend to wake up with less frizzy hair poking all over the place if you wear it at least the last few hours be4 waking up,

yea train yourself to sleep walk and put on a hat 2 hoursa b4 waking up..lol not sure ow that works butbreads are a good ideaand onnewstly yoiur profile pifc looks grewatstop worryin

I have bad sleeping habits and did JUST THAT.:)

Thanks guys!!! and your right, curly hair can be frustrating in general anyway. I remember now why I kept it cut short!!! I am not sure I can sleep walk well enough to put a hat on, but maybe a wrap or something will help with controlling the frizz!! It is a lot worse when I first get up because I thrash so much in my sleep. I will schlog on with positive reinforcement!! My hair will look good.... my hair will look good.... my hair will look good...ha ha...:) soaringeagle said:

Rama Varma,I am positive that nobody has a CLUE by looking at me that I am trying to dread my hair at this point in the process. They probably just think "man, she needs to run a comb through that mess on her head!" LOL!! LowRyderMan said:
