    Try different styling products and brushes. Paddles brushes are great for smoothing, round brushes add bevel and volume.

    It sounds like you'd be a great candidate for layering. Start slowly and see how you like the effect. You can always add more.

    You can try long layers or a one-length hairstyle. This should work well for your hair type.

    I'd recommend finding a stylist you can trust and specifying that you don't want your hair texturized, just layered.

    The only ways to make curly hair straight are chemical processes or heat styling. Generally, layering hair emphasizes curl or wave.

    This probably comes down to styling. Try using a round brush to curve ends under.

    These techniques are for adding layers to the existing length. For a subtle trim, simply comb your hair straight down and take a very small amount off the bottom ends. To change the length I'd recommend seeing a stylist for a professional haircut.
  • Question
    Why do the sides of my hair go up instead of down?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It might be the way your hair naturally grows. You can trick the hair by using a blow dryer and blowing the air in four different directions.
  • Question
    If my hair is wavy do I have to straighten it before I cut it?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    You may cut it too short if you straighten it first. When you wash it again and leave it wavy, it will shorten the look and it may not be what you are looking for. However, if you plan to straighten it ever you'll want to make sure the layers are even. If you straighten it, cut less than what you plan to.
  • Question
    My hair has a natural side parting. When cutting, do I part on the side, or in the middle?

    Go with your natural part if you always wear your hair parted that way.
  • Question
    I have very fine, wavy hair. How can I make it look thicker?
    Community Answer

    Volume is key. Look for root volumizing sprays and/or use a round brush when you blow dry. Flip your head and mist with hair spray to set.
  • Question
    I have thick, curly hair. What would be the best haircut for me?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Don't make it too short if you have extremely tight curls. It will be lighter in weight and bounce up more, making it look even shorter. Longer hair will have more weight to it and hang down longer. Look at your face shape (oval, square, etc.) to see what will suit you best. It may be a good idea to see a stylist for some professional advice.
  • Question
    My hair sticks out instead of turning in. How can I turn it in?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Use a flat iron and curl it towards the end. This will make all your hair turn inward and look amazing.
  • Question
    Is there any way that I can straighten my hair without a flatiron?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can buy a straightening brush at most stores. Walmart, Target and online at Amazon have them.
