So I made another attempt at trying a hair style. My hair has some natural curls but they have a tendency to be frizzy so I often just straighten my hair. I do like the curls but I don’t know how to control the frizz. I really don’t like using product in my hair – no hair spray (not sure I even own any), no gel goop, etc. I don’t think hair was intended to crunch or to leave your fingers greasy/oily if you run your hands through your hair. I know that implies overuse of product but I haven’t found the balance of using just enough to not have frizzy hair without having the negative effects I just mentioned.
So last night I decided I would try twisting several sections of hair overnight so the curls would be “maximized”. I envisioned curls I could run my fingers through without the time/pain of using a curling iron (which I clearly have not mastered anyway).
Well, the curls were certainly maximized alright. But not exactly the effect I was looking for. Yes, I could run my fingers through it and I didn’t use a curling iron. But, oh what frizz! Voluminous might even be an understatement…
I had to quickly go into damage-control mode. How to tame the mane?? Out of desperation and lack of time, I made up a new style to try to keep my hair down. I really couldn't explain what I tried. But I wouldn’t say it was successful since I startled myself every time I appeared in front of a restroom mirror throughout the day. Note to self: that did NOT work. Neither the curl-twists, nor the attempted fix. Isn’t it possible to just keep my natural curls without having frizz or unnatural-feeling product?? I guess I still need to do some experimenting…
