How do you deal with a mix of curly/wavy hair?

My hair is a total pain! I'm white, with reddish brown hair. The very top layer is slightly wavy, but the layers underneath are curly to varying degrees. At the back of my head, the hair has lots of 'ridges' in in, but around the side it tends to fall more in spirals. The texture also varies - quite dry and fuzzy (not frizzy) underneath, but soft and silky on the almost straight layer on the top. It looks like a totally unkempt mess, regardless of how much time I spend on it, and putting it in a ponytail is even worse. No hairdresser seems to have a clue what to do with it. I would love to have EITHER wavy hair OR curly hair. Does anyone have any tips? Is a perm a good idea to even out the curl? Thanks!

I have the exact same type of hair. If you use a little mouse and then use a diffuser it will usually give those straighter hairs a little boost. There are some really inexpensive products out there for both and they are surprisingly gentle on your hair.

Don't perm your hair, m'dear.

It won't do it any good, it'll only probably make it worse.

Get a few cute clips,

click the top half of your hair back

other times, just get a cute head band

put that on and put your hair up at the back

or put on pigtails.

It's what I do.

When you have a good hair day

show it off!

and leave it down.

I know you said you'd love to have either one or the other, but sometimes when u have a mixture this isn't possible. Have you tried blow drying straight and using ghd's on it to seal it? You never know, straight hair may suit you the best in the end. Hope this helps.
