How do I fix my puffy hair problem?

[dragonicneos]

alright so I'm 16 years old Asian and always had puffy hair once it grows out.

my parents took me to 5~7$ salons like those at china town to cut my hair and I'm still getting haircuts from those cheap barbers. I tried cutting my own hair, but that didn't work out so great either.

i want medium long hair on my side that can stay down

right now, my hair is at medium length. I'm trying to grow the hair that stems out form the upper part of my head longer and keeping the hair below that a little shorter. kind of like layering it, but I'm not sure how that's suppose to work

ive been googling questions like this and still Haven't found a good answer to solve my problem, :/

is there any simple solution to this?

ive tried to grow my hair out, but its really hard to deal with because I have sports after school and after practice, my hair sticks up a lot

should I keep trying to grow my hair out and hope that it gets long enough to the point that gravity will just drag is down no matter what?

At 16 you may not have much control over your own hair style. But long hair will weigh down your puffy hair and make it less noticeable or not puffy at all. don't be too upset though because what is puffy when short will be voluminous when long. Meanwhile, stop cutting your own hair unless you have some training or are very artistic. Jojoba oil will be very good for your hair. 1 ml a day should be more than enough for your hair. It is quite expensive but you can get it on Amazon reasonably priced.

Leave it completely alone for 6 months at least then to somewhere more expensive.

In the meantime experiment with products to give a little more control.

You need a blow dryer, and some hair putty could help. Work your hair as it is wet/damp then scoop up some hair putty (dime sized amount) & style. then try blow drying your hair in the direction you want or let it air dry.

Hair straighteners size 1/2 inch (flat iron), can also make your hair loose its puff after straightening. Or the hockey boys around here just wear hats, hat hair is flat hair

I don't think gravity is going to do enought to make it how you want it but you could try a hair straightening iron. Its going to take some time & patience to do but I should give you the results you are looking for. If you can pull it back, you could try doing so at night once its wet. That way over night it will dry that way & stay a little straighter at the roots. Still Id use the iron too tho.

Save up and go somewhere nice, or go to a decent store. You can get your hair thinned while getting it cut, like Liz said. Or you can buy some sort of anti-frizz or relaxing shampoo.

Have you tried getting it thinned out?

ask the hairstylist to thin it out. They usually use those thinning shears. It helps to make the hair look less bulky.

If you want to make you hair grow, try to take Reloxe- Natural hair regrow. I tried using it and its quite effective.

You can try products like hair wax to tame them. Also try wearing caps and it should hold the hair down and will stay down when you take the cap off after a while.

Get it chemically straightened
