Is there a shampoo that will ';flatten'; my hair?

The type of hair I have is ';Asian'; hair - where it grows as straight hair but comes out as thick. Also, going to a salon and using thinning sheers don't help.


Is there a shampoo that will ';flatten'; my hair or ';make it go down';?Is there a shampoo that will ';flatten'; my hair?
No, I'm sorry to say, there is no shampoo that can help in this area.





The only way to get your hair to lay-down, is to ';train'; your hair to grow in a downward direction. This can be accomplished by forcing your hair into this position, every night, wear a tight ';do-rag'; style cap. As you sleep and your hair grows, the hair will be forced to grow down, and this will make the hair pores on your scalp eventually shift into a downward facing direction. Your hair would have to be combed in a down-direction, then while your hair is in this position, put the do-rag on tightly to keep your hair down.





You know how people have a middle or side-part? Even when wet, the hair will want to separate in the place that the person normally parts their hair? This is as a result of the hair pore constantly having the hair going in a certain direction. It will probably take about a month of sleeping this way to see a real difference, and as soon as you STOP using the do-rag, within a few days, your hair will likely start to grow right back in the direction it wants to, straight UP. So this is a lifetime thing basically for you, if you want your hair to just go DOWN.





Your only other option would be to, probably once a month, have a professional haidresser apply a chemical relaxer to your root area, force the hair to go down. Then you wouldn't have to sleep with a do-rag on every night to accomplish this. Only catch is this option would get expensive and it is also rather damaging to your hair, your hair won't be as shiny as it is now. If I were you, I'd try the do-rag route.





Good luck!Is there a shampoo that will ';flatten'; my hair?
Try going to a hairdresser and asking them to thin your hair out - that way you won't have so much hair, and it won't have so much hair.





I have extremely thick hair, I need it thinned twice a month. If it ';doesn't help'; they're not cutting enough hair out or you don't get it done often enough.
Try Tresemme Anti-sponge. I have loads of hair, and it's really good about keeping it under control and not make it look so full.
