Hey everyone!
I have hair that's a bit past my shoulders, but it's quite dry, thick and never just "hangs". It looks good when it's wet, but when it's dry, it becomes wavy and for lack of a better word, "poofy", and looks shorter than it actually is. Any ideas of how I can better control it without using tons of chemicals or cutting it? I've had long hair since I was about 14. (I'm 40 now)
And for those of you who think you can't get a job with long hair: I'm a full time firefighter. As long as I keep it pulled back in a pony tail, there have been no problems. Comments YES, problems no. So it CAN be done. Be who you are and show you can do your job competantly and hair will be a non-issue for the most part.

I use a blow dryer at the end, I let it dry almost all the way and then use a big round brush and dry itunder and yes I use some hair sray, but I use spray gel and work my fingers trough it a to give it a free look..... best wishes for great hair!

I use monoi oil (learned that from this board) and it has helped me
a lot. My hair is less frizzy and poofy, more shinny and the comb
goes through it much easier. And it just takes a little bit.
