Feel like hair is a bit too "big" when I wear it out

I love wearing my hair out because it's probably the most comfortable style for me however since my hair has gone past waist I'm feeling like it's a bit "big".

I know there are lots of people trying to get more volume but when you actually have it, sometimes you feel like a big walking head of hair. It almost feels like I'm being showy which is not intended.

I look at others with finer long hair, and to me, it's perfect. It sits closer to the head, doesn't fan out and take over the person's body. And then I will see people with very big hair and they absolutely rock it.

When I curl it with heated rollers it does look nice but it "bounces" alot! I feel like Shirley Temple. It's rather annoying to catch your reflection and see your curls dancing to their own beat as you are walking around. Again - feels showy.

So as a result I end up putting it up or rolling the sides and joining at the back which is ok but.....

Anyone in the same boat and have you come up with a solution?

I felt C/O took abot of the size off my hair, and weighing it down with a smear of very heavy oil like castor on the tips works well

Nooo I'm the other way around, my hair is no where big enough!

Man your hair sounds (and looks obviously

) awesome! I wish my hair would do that (when it's longer)!

I say: be proud of it and rock them bouncy curls!

Your hair is beautiful so why not show off? If I had your hair I'd be showing off 24/7, not going to lie

Feel lucky!!! My hair felt like that until i had my stylist cut off all the damaged ends. I lost a few (2-3) inches.. even though the DBF said he could hardly tell the difference it feels SOOOO short to me now. Love your volume! Hair that's too flat will make your face look really long too. Long voluminous hair is a much more youthful look i think.

Sometimes I wish my hair were "big" enough, unlike mine which stays flat all the time.

Enjoy that big hair! It's beautiful.

I just got to the stage where the weight of my ponytail makes it swing when I walk, and sometimes i do feel like it looks like I'm deliberately swinging it about. But then I think who cares? At least it's pretty.
