the last two times, i just got so aggravated with the mess and awkward stage (i have really thick wavy hair, it's a mess!)... i regret cutting it, because i realize where i'd be now if i hadn't cut it the first time (it was nearly to my chin). well, i am now going to try again. no, scratch that, i WILL grow it out this time... in the words of yoda, "do or do not, there is no try." i believe it's been around 3-4 months since the last time i got it cut, the one major thing that really bugs me about growing it out is the back... it's crazy, goes in all directions, even with gel or hairspray. my bangs are almost to the bottom of my nose, and the sides just cover the top of my ears. so any suggestions on how to tame the back would be helpful. i used to use this stuff called frizz-ease, and blow dry it back and forth until it would lay down smooth - which worked, but left the hair feeling very coarse and after a day, very greasy. also, i am naturally very oily i guess... any suggestions on shampoo/conditioner as far as that goes? wish me luck in this venture! oh, and i must apologize for the long message!
