What is porous hair?

What to do with my mess of hair? asap!?

• so my hair is just a mess. i know i have totally damaged my hair by straightening it. so i thought i could let my hair be natural, which is curly and frizzy. my hair is just at my shoulders. everybody tells me that my hair is beautiful and that girls would kill for my hair. mostly adults say that and when i asked a few people they told me that i look better with straight hair. I mean i want to embrace my curls but i really don't know how to, you know? i want to have my hair ready by monday and i really can't get hair products so if there is a way to style (up-do, half up, down, etc) my hair without mouse or gel that would be great.i took a shower and when it dried i put this hair thing in my hair to tame the frizz, and it usually works but something always happens right before school. i know, it sucks. so i have hairspray, bobby pins, hair ties, head bands (the thin ones, not those ugly fabricy ones), a hair straightener, a curling iron, and the anti-frizz stuff. anything can do with those items? please help me because no one knows what to do with my hair. p.s. i like my hair down but i don't like it that much up because then my head looks super small compared the the rest of my body. should i get ride of my layers?

• Answer:

  I have been having the same problem for a veryyyyy long time. one day i asked a hair dresser about it!! she gave me a salon brand gel that you can find online called: aquage. it completely flattens my hair so i only have to straighten my bangs and a little bit in the front. Or you could just brush your hair down in front of a fan? that doesn't work very well for me though, if you try it be careful your hair doesn't get caught in the fan! but if you want to embrace you're curls, here are the steps! get out of the shower and wrap the towel around your head for a couple of minutes so it absorbs the moisture but so its still pretty wet. Then DO NOT BRUSH OR COMB OUT YOUR HAIR! immediately start scrunching while you grab the aquage gell, styling mousse, and a detangler! spray the detangler though your hair but still don't brush or comb it!!! keep scrunching your hair as much as possible and apply the gel by scrunching it into your hair. KEEP ON SCRUNCHING! now apply any styling mouse of you're choice and scrunch it into you're hair. scrunch or scrunch until your hair drys and apply an anti frizz product just in case! or, use a diffuser wich will speed up the process. worked for me, the key is scrunching! hope it helped
