I've noticed that there are quite a few knowledgeable curly haired women here and I thought I'd direct my question at them (or anyone who knows, really).
Here's the deal: I have really long (down to the mid back), curly hair with long layers. When I wear it curly (after diffusing it) it's rather huge the first day and then limps out the second day (but still manages to look like a tangled rat's nest!!??). It slowly degrades into said rat's nest until I wash it and start the cycle over. To avoid the problem I usually blow dry it straight. This 'look' lasts for around 3-4 days. Problem is, I broke my European hair dryer and I don't want to buy another one because I may be moving back to the states sometime soon. And also, I'm just plain sick of blow drying it.
I really want a 'soft wavy' look but I'm not sure how to achieve it. When I diffuse it, it gets HUGE. And when I let it air dry, it's somehow limp/curly/frizzy underneath (I've been using curly products from Aveda either way). I'm getting really frustrated with it lately and I'm thinking of cutting it all off. HELP!!
