How can I avoid nappy hair?

Hi,

I really do not want to cut my hair but don't know how to keep it from getting too nappy at times. The problem is that my hair sometimes wants to go curly and sometimes not. It gets sort of clumpy; an hour after it's brushed or combed it looks matted. How can I keep my hair, which is past my shoulders, neat looking throughout the day. any tips would be helpful.

there is a product by Aveda called hair refresher that is really nice that you can spray on around lunch time.

Also, you can get a protein treatment at wal-mart to treat your hair about 1x a week.

Next, when you do go to the salon get a clear coloring. that will add shine to your hair and keep in maintained.

Thirdly, embrace your hair's moods.

(for straight shiny hair) how do you dry your hair? I recommend flipping over and brushing it repeatedly while you are blowdrying it. Then take a shine spray (put it in your hands, not in your hair!) and run your fingers through the base of your hair (not at the top - otherwise you could look oily)

(for curly hair) let it dry naturally and use a strong mousse/gel and crunch it for the day.

Don't cut your hair!!! However, maintain routine trimmings. That is really the best thing overall that you can do.
