Aye, question for the wise counsel

  1. I cut my own hair
  2. I wont pay a professional to cut my hair
  3. My hair tends to be too “poofy”
  4. Im kinda lookin for a kurt cobain type long to the chin, even length all around style
  5. Hair is mostly straight just a tiny bit wavy The question; Is there a product to get my hair to lay down flattish without a “wet” look rather than poof up like a down comforter.

Aaannnd spin the wheel. Thanks peeps.

    My kid with similar hair likes the Verb Ghost Oil. It’s too light for me but adds just a hint of weight and smoothness.

    My other suggestions to try are salt spray or a light wax, those can help you get the sort of piecey look.

    It’s also possible that it’s curly - often people with hair they think is straight and poofy have curly hair, in which case either rolling with it, styling it like curly hair, or heat styling to straighten it will work better.
