Reply With QuoteYou get those beautiful waves without doing a single thing? Lucky you! I guess the secret is going with what your hair naturally wants to do rather than fighting with it.
Well Look at this!
Yesterday, I was stunned to discover that if I don't fight with my hair after washing...just leave it airdry I get what I call "waves".
Today, I tried it again and I was equally shocked that after washing/CO'ing and conditioning (leaving a blop in saturated hair)/airdrying all with no combing after the detangle in the water, and no finger combing even, then going to work, coming home making dinner, then taking the pic (see new sig.)...I could just cry after all those years of anguish over my hair. Unreal.
Of course, in a week I might get sick of this look too!*please see album now!*

Great waves! And even after 7 hours they look really fabulous!
Imagine the godess-like hair you'll get as your hair grows!
You are definitely on the right path
I realized the same thing and begin to stick to it - don't mess with the hair, let it be the way it is. Mine is straight and rather fine, so I have been trying to add waves and volume. But it would hold like 1 or 2 hours only. So I decided to accept that it's straight and try all the amazing buns/styles found here instead...
Re: Well Look at this!
Can you imagine how gorgeous those curls are going to be at waistlength?
No matter how much I try to be plain, people don't accept me, so I might as well be fabulous.

Oh, wow. That's with no styling at all? You're so lucky, those waves are truly stunning! I agree, it sounds like the trick is just to let your hair do what it wants.

Beautiful waves and wurls! Did you think you have a badly behaving straight hair before?
My hair also developed waves after I joined here
