How can I get curls and waves in my thick, layered hair?

Question

Hey guys!

Ok so I have extremely thick hair so I get it layered to make it appeal thinner. But since i have the layers, I can't get the curls i want!

I really want curls like this: ((scroll down)) http://dresslikeashley.org/hair/movies/movie065.php

and waves like this: ((scroll down)) http://dresslikeashley.org/hair/movies/movie018.php

Sadly, when I braid my hair for the waves, hair is always falling out of the braid bcuz of the layers!!! It's so sad! lol! I also do curlers for the curls but they always a) fall out of the curlers, b) come out totally demented, or c) aren't the right size. So I need help! I want to do that first wave hairstyle for school but I only have 10-15 mintues in the morning to do that style! Please help I'm in desperate need of it! Its for the first day of school too!

Answer 3

i have the same problem! i have short layers and thick hair! and im still trying to figure out how to get those waves! but ive noticed that the only thing u havent tried is a curling iron! i cant use a curling iron correctly so i cant get those waves, but maybe u can! just wrap big section of ur hair around the curling iron and hold it up for 15 seconds, then uncurl and uve got a perfect curl/wave! wrap it loosely for a wave and tighly for a curl. once uve got a curl/wave, spritz it with hairspray and then make a new one and repeat all over ur head! it works great cuz u can do it in any kind of hair. for the third picture, instead of a curling iron, use a crimper, which is a different type of iron. it can be found in ur local drugstore or salon. good luck!

If you have short layers your going to have a problem. Try hot or steam rollers , but roll them side ways or on an angle," horizontal." Good Luck
