So I have very very very curly hair. I just straightened my hair to get rid of (almost) all the curls. Just to switch things up. So I know it's not perfect but it's as close as I can get. The problem is that it's too straight. I don't like how my face looks with pin straight hair. I wana add some movement to it. Anything to get it to not be as stick straight. Please give instructions with your suggestions because I'm not good with hair at all (I need all the help I can get!) thank you!

Heyy:),
If you have holding spray (hairspray) then you could spray some on your fingers and then flip your head over and rub your roots with your fingertips. Only do it to your roots, and then shake your hair a bit and flip back over. I'm sorry if it sounds confusing, but it's the best way I can explain it:) Good luck!

I feel Ya I have very very curly hair too and us curly gals are very blessed with our locks but honestly you are lucky cause whenever I straighten my hair it will not go stick straight no matter what I do to it but even just maybe scrunching it with your fingers a little will help (:

Try using your straightener to curl your edges in.
Or you could add a curl on the side where you have more hair (just the front piece tho)

Okay that sounds good. I'm thinking about maybe putting in a hot roller or two in the front so it's bouncy? Maybe?

If you're confident using rollers I say go for it, but tbh if it were me, I'd just curl it with my straightener.
but I do like how it looks straight.
A front braid or twist could also spice it up :)

I used to straighten my hair at night, then put it up in a top knot to sleep while it was still warm. Cooling while twisted gave it a tiny bit of movement and wave.

You are very beautiful with your curly hair. If you want volume for your straight hair try teasing it. :)
