I must have it up. A low pony tail and my neck gets hot. A high pony tail and it's "I Dream of Genie" looking.
I have SERIOUS hair. It is very thick, curly, and to the middle of my back. In Aug, looking good was not an option! Remember Monica's afro in that Friends episode? You get the picture. I wore it twisted up, in a claw clip. I also wore a black elastic head hand.

You have my hair! I also have bangs that I never know what to do with. Any suggestions?Turtle said:You have my hair! I also have bangs that I never know what to do with. Any suggestions?

. He taught me to use a roller brush and pull the front part of the hair forward to blow dry with the roller brush. He also said to blow dry the side you want it lay over first, instead of the side that you want to part. It takes several tries and practices. 
My major problem is at dinner. I wear a bucket hat all day as I have very fair skin that burns easily. When I take off the hat, I have flat, hat hair on the top and bushy, frizzy, flyaway hair on the bottom. Any ideas???

My daily routine at home (which only takes me about 7 minutes since I've done basically the same thing for about 10 years) is mousse only at the roots, blow dry upside down with ceramic round brush, hairspray each section lightly and then curl with large barrel curling iron to the root, let sit for about 10 minutes (while I brush and floss and get dressed) to cool down and "set", comb out, finish with hairspray...watch fall flat in about an hour (but not quite as flat as it would had I done nothing). My routine probably won't change much, but instead of curling it all the way through, I'll curl the ends under (and let them fall however they will) and pull my hair up in a high ponytail or twist it up and around and go for "messy". My hair is almost to the middle of my back. I don't have bangs, but since my hair is so fine, it falls out of clips and hairbands easily. I can't stand to have the front of my hair fall out, so I'll clip the front back with a small little snap clip. Always with a small twist and a shot of hairspray (to keep it in place so it doesn't do the "slide"). Also, to keep my hair looking shiny and somewhat together through the day, whenever I make a pit stop to the ladies room, I'll take the pony down and run a brush through it and toss it back up. I always feel better when I think I look my best...I think a lot of us women do! I don't care if I'm in Disney and sweating like a pig and getting drenched on rides...I always like a little mascara and lipstick/gloss. 

Thanks, I'll have to try that.phantom728 said:Hope this helps![]()

Head band Mickey Mouse ears will also do this trick![]()
