My hair is an absolute mess, please help.?

Please help... i HATE my hair.

it is wavy, but not curly...thus it is very frizzy and i just look disgusting. at the very same time, the top part gets oily. plus, my hair is constantly tangling, it's hard to run my fingers through my hair. i would liken the consistency of my hair to that of straw...it always has that unkept look about it, there is a lot of it but at the same time it always looks a bit scraggly. and like i said, at the same time, it gets oily pretty quickly at the top. what do i do?

here is what i do now:wash and condition my hair every day, use leave in conditioner, and when its dry spray it with this glossy spray to help make it shiny.

i would also be open to learning new styles of doing my hair, as i usually just stick to a part in the middle. boring.

thanks!

Well..you are the one making your hair oily! Do NOT use conditioner at the top of your head, only on the ends...and NO leav-in condtiioner..and don't use the shine spray either..well atleat not too much and not by your roots...

if it's frizzy get a smoothing serum..but dont apply it to your roots..start from the bottom when applying it, so by the time you work your hair to the top you don;t have much product in your hands...

use detangler on your hair after your shower to help you comb through it better, and make sure you comb your hair when its wet..not after its already dry!

andddd..how to style it.....

when you get out of shower:

towel dry

comb

blow dry it while using a big paddle brush (or any brush you have really)

and keep brushing thru it while dryin it

if you don;t want a middle part...start parting it off to the side

or take a square section right at the middle of your hairline and bobby pin it back

good luck

have fun and expiriment :)

P.S. I SAW YOUR ADDED DETAILS AND........

there are a lot of people who use conditioner at the top of thier head..no need to 'duh' me...

i was just giving you advice, and As a part of my job as a licensed hairdresser i felt it right to inform you of any possible reason your hair may be oily...

So...if you can't find anything else to help your oily root area, id suggest using either baby powder or another type of powder made specifically for your hair..you can put it on your brush and then comb or run some thru your roots with your hands..

and again good luck

Yaay! another question about hair help. So you could either go for two looks, straight or curly. I'm guessing right now that you're somewhere inbetween and its not working out. To go for the straight look I would use a straightening shampoo and conditioner everyday like the one by Herbal Esseences or Sunsilk. I wouldnt recommend leave in conditioner tho. Then blowdry it and create a nice side part and i suggest getting side bangs on the one side. Then apply a straightening product like the one by Got2Be and blowdry your hair. Use a really good straightener like the CHI, or just a normal cloth iron would work very well too!

Then for the curly look, after getting out of the shower part your hair, and scrunch it while your head is upside down and apply a little gel. Then once it completely drys take a curling iron and curl random pieces for a finished look. Then spray with hairspray. If you need anymore help just message me. Hope this helps.
