How do I make my hair from coarse and thick to soft and thinner?
I'm 1/4 Scottish, 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Welsh, and 1/4 French (just in case my ethnicity plays a role). My hair is wavy, coarse, and long, and instead of it going down smoothly, it stacks on top of itself and makes my hair look really big and poofy! After I wash my hair, it feels like hay, and is very thick. For the past year, I've been flat ironing my hair, wearing toques and sleeping to make it less poofy, and not washing it regularly. The reason I can't go with short hair is because I have no cheekbones, my eyes are close together, and I'm chubby. How can I make my hair thinner, softer, and less coarse?
By the way, I do use conditioner.

to make it softer try hair oil; it really works! put it on at nite before bed and wake up and shampoo it off. usually coconut hair oil works the best but try others to suit ur hair

you can ask your stylist to thin it out with thinning shears...just make it very clear that you want your hair to be thin..i will warn you that this is high maintenance and you will have to go back regularly. to make your hair more manageable in general, make sure you are using a higher end shampoo and conditioner preferably with no sulfates or alcohol in the ingredients(the ones from the drugstores are very damaging and have detergents in them and your hair feels like hay) you may also want to try shampoos and conditioners made for ethnic hair...do some Research the people at beauty supplies are very knowledgeable. to tell you the truth just because your "chubby" etc doesn't mean you can cut your hair short..i think thats in your head..to tell you the truth short hair will make you appear SO much thinner..stylists are trained to give you the best possible cut for your face shape...im sure if you asked for other people's opinions they would say the same..and if you don't like it that much it will grow back, it may be worth the risk...just do you can avoid the hassle of styling your hair all the time. if your willing to go the extra mile cut your hair to shoulder or chin legnth and blowdry it straight
goodluck:)
i know your dilema except my hair isn't coarse..hope this helps

Go to a salon where the stylist specializes in razor hair cuts, tell them to cut your hair dry, and they will thin it out with a razor and thinning sheers. make sure you tell them to cut lots of wispy layers. your hair should lay flat and become less poofy when you flat iron it. Also you should use a deep conditioner at least once a week, and use shine serum before blow drying. if this doesn't work, try a chemical relaxer!

Go to the salon and tell them to use a thinning shear for your hair.
