Any of you guys have long hair?

I was wondering if any of you guys out there had long hair and if any of you with it had the same problem I've been having. My hair is very thick and fluffy. I've tried to grow it out several times but it gets into this long period where it looks like absolute - not long enough to weigh itself down, but it starts to look all shaggy and flies everywhere. Every time I've tried to grow it out, I get tired of it looking like ass so I just have it cut.
I'm also wondering if they're any products out there for it that can help it lay flat instead of it looking vintage 70's style. To be honest, despite the difficulty I have with it sometimes, I like my thick hair and don't want to murder it, so any hardcore stuff is out of the question. I'd just as soon give up the dream (haha) if its not possible.
My eventual goal is to get enough length on it, then have it styled so that it looks good, and parts to the side down to around the bottom of the ear lobe (or a bit longer, so that it can be tied back when I'm skating or something. I don't want a pony tail, just a little ball in the back is more than enough).
So, any of you guys out there with long hair who can share some insight (especially those who have thick hair like I do), please pass it along. |

| What you need is a hairdresser with thinning shears/texturizing scissors. Those things take a lot of the bulk outta your hair, and make it look quite stylish! As for product, any type of hair wax applied (not too much, it'll make your hair look greasy) to the ends should weigh it down. |

| I have mine cut very short, cos if it gets to a certain length (like it passed about 3 weeks ago) it goes very curly & thick & basically impossible to do anything with, so by keeping it very short (when its not too cold to have to shaved often) it helps lots, even if you do look like a football thug :stongue: |

just grow it out!
mine's red, fairly curly, and thick as hell
the key is just keeping it cut so that the top layers are mad long and the lower ones aren't so the top ones weigh it down
it works pretty well, i don't use any styling products or anything |

I used to have "long" hair (Cannavaro style), my hair is staight and not that thick though. What I think you can do, is wear a tuque after shower and let the hair dry with it on...
having long hair is annoying though. I have to give credit to the ladies for handiling the hair thing so well.... |

holy shiznit, he's back again :)
anyway, i have sorta long hair, it's pretty thin on its own, but you know, combing helps and using shampoo every other day or so helps too to keep it in place. pick a shampoo that's good for you and feels good.
you might even wanna try wearing a hat for a while to keep your hair in place, cuz you know, it also depends on the roots what kind of a hairdo you end up with. |
