Aye, question for the wise counsel

  1. I cut my own hair
  2. I wont pay a professional to cut my hair
  3. My hair tends to be too “poofy”
  4. Im kinda lookin for a kurt cobain type long to the chin, even length all around style
  5. Hair is mostly straight just a tiny bit wavy The question; Is there a product to get my hair to lay down flattish without a “wet” look rather than poof up like a down comforter.

Aaannnd spin the wheel. Thanks peeps.

    Some folks iron their hair with a heated electrical device called a straightener. You could try one. I don’t think they are expensive. Read all of the directions and be careful. YouTube is maybe useful here, too.

    A chemical treatment called a relaxer can also help do what you want, but proceed with great caution. I understand not wanting to pay for hair care. I cut my own as well. But, some things are best left to a pro. Relaxers are alkaline, and chemical burns are easily possible. Some may contain formaldehyde, which is nasty stuff. Long-term use is probably a bad idea, IMHO.
