What to do with thick curly hair?

I have extremely thick semi-long curly hair. I straighten on most days because I don't know what to do with it. But, on the days when I don't, it's so frustrating and I don't know what to do with it. A lot of people tell me to wear it down, but it's really poofy and it looks terrible! Any ideas on what I can do with it?

What to do with thick curly hair?

when you take a shower, dry your hair all the way after. the later you could straighten it, then take a curling iron a make some soft waves around you face. i think straightening it before you style it will help the thickness and poofyness. you can also curl it with the straightener. or you could find a cool updo!

A flat iron the one I use is by maxiglide http://www.maxiusbeauty.com/category.php...

I got package four because it has a big flat iron with the pins on the plates to straighten and detangle at the same time. It has some good products that help keep my hair straight. There is a new process out that lasts up to 6 months its called thermal reconditioning which is becoming increasingly popular. From all the information currently available, it is an amazingly effective process, and a rather expensive one. I've seen prices ranging from $200-800 or more depending on the location. http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip1104... http://thermalreconditioning.blogspot.co...
