Guy in Search of Hair Help!?

I have a very thick head of hair. When it gets long it gets very annoying and messy looking. After I shampoo and condition it, it goes all straight and poofy...why?!! It looks like my hair is a helmet sometimes :( But then when I dont wash my hair it stays down and goes a bit curly. I prefer that look but I have to wash my hair or else it will go all greesy looking! lol

Is there anytihng I can do so it stays down? A special hair cut or another kind of shampoo and conditioner?

I really want to grow my hair cuz I've always been shaving it when it gets long lol Plus I'm playing guitar and it looks stupid banging your head with short hair lolz

Figured I'd ask here since girls know more about hair than guys.

I have the same hair type. I think after you shampoo and condition you need to put a product in. I just buy regular products from walmart or a drugstore. You could try Pantene texturizing mousse wax, or sunsilk in the blue bottle, I cant remember what its called but you rub a small amount thru your hair before you dry it. Any of those types of products stops the poofy, if you have wavyish hair, get the products that say for curly, put a bit in and blow dry, dont brush while you dry, just mess it up with your hands as you blow dry.

Try it...it works for me!

Hot oil treat your hair twice a week. That will super condition it it make it more fine and limp.
