Go to www.matrix.com - it has a section for tips from professional stylists %26amp; another section for different men's %26amp; women's haircuts w/ styling instructions.

When you get your next hair cut bring a print out from this web site or a picture from an A %26amp; F catalog so your hair stylist can see exactly what you want.

You can flat iron sections with a really thin iron to flatten out the curls slightly %26amp; use pomade on specific sections and at the ends to create definition.

Washing your hair every other day or so helps create that bed-head/messy look. You can just rinse your scalp and hair in between washes depending on what kind of styling product you use.

Types of pomade:

Murray's Hair Pomade (orange tin, cheap but use very sparingly because it's a little hard to wash out)

Pantene pomade/styling cream (flat plastic jar w/ blue logo, inexpensive, smells good, fairly easy to wash out)

Redken Water Wax (flat plastic jar, smells good, pricey salon product but a little goes a long way, adds a little sheen)

or Dessert Essence Jojoba Oil (Trader Joe's, Whole Earth, etc.)

Put just a drop or two in the palm of your hands %26amp; rub them together. Then run through your hair. Jojoba oil will condition your hair %26amp; is good product if you don't wash your hair every day.

i have the same way. it just doesnt do anything you want it to right? well i find that mousse works really good. mousse up your hair and blow dry. not all the way though or it will get frizzy. after its completely dry i straighten my hair underneath. like i put half up and straighten the bottom. keep the outer hair curly. the way my hari is i dont have ringlets justa kin of weird curl. the straight hair underneath will kind of balance it out. it wont look real big. it works good and it looks sexy. good luck!

When you hair is wet apply the product of choice (a mousse or a gel) and scrunch your hair in your hands as you blow dry it with a hairdryer with a defuser. The product will define your curls and help them keep their shape. Don't use to much product though, a little bit goes a long way.

If you are stuck on which products to use, ask your hair dresser which products are best with your hair. Or experiment with Suave or White Rain products (they aren't very expensive and do the same job as the expensive salon brands - although it is fun to indulge yourself on a fancy smelling salon product once in awhile).

maybe getting relaxer for your hair to loosen the curl would help but thats more permanent and requires touch up as your hair grows in. I think a way(time consuming however but temporary)is to straighten your hair FIRST, and work with that. I make my hair wavy by using a big (the biggest you can find) curling iron. Spray with a FLEXIBLE hold hair spray and curl small portions of your hair.(it helps to separte your hair into three layers: starting with hair closest to neck, and workin up to the layer on top of your head.)After you curl a piece DONT Touch it, do your whole head (your gonna have big ringlets) Apply an anti frizz serum in you palms and genlty run fingers thru the curls to loosely break them apart.try not apply to top of you head(near scalp) cuz it'll look like a greasy mess. The hair will settle over 10-15 minutes. Bend over to flip your hair and spray generously. You can use a stiff spray at this point. Your hair will relax and have awesome body and wave...overall it takes me about 25-30 minute but its worth it.I get compliments everytime i do it.
