I know exactly what you are talking about mine is kinda crazy to I am always using a flat iron. So if you are wanting long and wavy hair you could straighten it then put loose curls in it.

You said don't say leave it curly because your head is huge but look at Nicole Kidman. Her head is huge and straightening her hair makes her head look even bigger.

I totally feel your pain! I'm a curly too, and I hate it. Make sure you have something on your hair before you blow dry it or straighten it! This is key. I use Aussie Leave in conditioner, and I've noticed a big improvement in the few weeks I've started using it. There are some heat protectant products out there, but I think my Leave in Conditioner works ok. Also you might not want to use an al-cheapo straigtener, I use a Chi, and it works miracles!!! Seriously! If you use the wrong one, it looks like your hair just got fried in an electrical socket. If you want to leave it curly, use the conditioner, then add some mousse. Style as desired, I usually put mine in a head band and have some bangs to frame my face, and then add a drop of frizz stuff at the end. You can also use a Diffuser if you want your hair dry, it does make a difference! Good luck!!

I have a mixture of coarse super curly hair with smoother wavy hair - making it quite the mane to tame. However, I have worked out a system for taking my hair from super curly to wavy to pin straight.

For curly hair:

Step 1 ~ wash, condition

Step 2 ~ apply mousse or gel that reduces frizz %26amp; defines curl

Step 3 ~ airdry if possible scrunching with hands OR use a diffuser with a hairdryer on low air %26amp; low heat settings

*It is important NOT to brush or even comb your hair when you get out of the shower - this promotes more frizz

For wavy hair:

Step 1 ~ wash, condition

Step 2 ~ apply mousse or gel that reduces frizz %26amp; defines curl

Step 3 ~ airdry if possible scrunching %26amp; twisting hair with hands OR use a diffuser with a hairdryer on low air %26amp; low heat settings

*You may want to even the waves out with a wave iron (for an "S" wave) or a fat-barrelled curling iron (for ringlit waves)

For straight hair:

Step 1 ~ wash, condition heavily

Step 2 ~ apply gel for straightening the hair

Step 3 ~ blowdry straight with a round brush (preferably one with a conductive core to speed the process)

Step 4 ~ use a straightening iron (preferably one that takes your hair from wet to straight because they are hotter %26amp; you don't have to blowdry your hair all the way if you're in a rush)

Step 5 ~ finish with a paste or palmade that will minimize frizz %26amp; give you the ability to lift roots and style

Hope this helps and good luck!

I understand totally. I have extremely curly red hair (think corkscrew curls with extra frizz) that I wear straight now, but a number of years ago I would wear in softer larger curls. Every time I go to the hair dresser, either the stylist or a customer makes some comment about how much people with straight hair want curly hair, would "kill" for hair like mine, etc.

If you don't already, try using a small amount (very small amount) of leave-in conditioner on your hair to help with the puffiness.
