I have thick, wavy hair, that goes boofy..?

i usually straighten it (GHD, works a treat), but coming up to summer i want to be able to just leave it.. i LOVE how my hair looks when wet, messy curls and not boofy, but as it dries, it goes insanely boofy etc, i want to know if there are any products that i can use that will make my hair stay how it looks when its wet?! if that's possible!!!! without losing the curl (so i can swim and not worry etc!!)

hi, i have very curly and thick hair too and this is what works for me:

i wash my hair with any conditioning shampoo (change shampoo every month), then i put on any conditoner and leave it on for 15 min.

after rinsing, i use any hair serum that doesNOT contain alcohol, all serums are more or less the same, as long as they contain no alcohol,

i comb my hair and then when my hair is half dry i use products like dove deep replenishing hair cream, aveda elixir, Fructis definition and bounce cream and let it dry naturally

good luck!!

My hair is just like yours; if you're not swimming, use a leave-in conditioner that will keep the curls soft and looser. For swimming, it's hard to keep a product in your hair, but hair gels are the best for water.

Curlz Rock by tigi, or the cheaper version Noodle Head at Sally's beauty supply. Both will define the curl and hold it. You will also need a spray in leave in conditioner to go on before and some light -medium hair spray.

I have the same hair. Don't get it cut short because I now wake up looking like I have stuck a fork in a power socket!! Try sunsilk curl booster gel. It comes in a tube from any supermarket for around $6. I found it to be good because its not to heavy and sticky on your hair.
