    Got a hat...lol!
    Unruly hair...bummer...im just getting out of that stage. I wanted to keep my hats on till it would do what i wanted it to and not what it wanted to do...but i didnt. I tried hair gels, hairspray things like that but nothing worked and i just had to deal with it for awile. Luckly it was only for a few months cuz i got tired of looking like alfalfa (sp). I think it depends on your hair type. Mine came back really thick and wavy. I came to find waves are had to tame. Now i have less waves and its more managable. Good luck i hope you find something that works for you! :)

    A product that both Danny
    A product that both Danny and I like is FastFood by AG. Just a pea sized amount will help with either frizzy (mine) or unruly hair (his). Hope this helps.

    Mine came in like JoJo. I
    Mine came in like JoJo. I just use cond after shampoo and never blow dry, makes it worse. When I had enough hair I got a mini hair straightner. I used it with the treatments you can buy that you spray on before you use the iron so you won't hurt your hair. I don't use it all the time. Pretty much you just have to wait it out. I think I tried everything out there to stop the frizzy's, but nothing worked. Just don't blow dry your hair.
    Hang in there. Hugs

    Like carkris I love Moroccan
    Like carkris I love Moroccan oil just be careful not to use too much, only need a little or it gets greasy.

    Also another product that is a cream is great to tame our curls. It's Paul Mitchell QUICK SLIP.

    I know what you mean.
    My hair came back curly and I didn't know how to deal with it. I was tempted to shave it all off and start over again. I realized I couldn't brush my hair because it just made it worse so I figured out I had to treat it like a perm and pic it instead of brushing it. I spray it with hairspray while it's still wet and use the hair pic to shape the curls somewhat. I tried gels and mousse but the easiest to apply was the hair spray. On the days I don't "fix" my hair, it looks a bit like Kramer on Seinfeld. I hope you can find a way to be happy with your hair while waiting for it to grow back.
