How to keep heavy hair curly?

I'd like to have my hair professionally done this weekend for winter formal... the problem is that I want large, wavy curls, and every time I ask for them they end up falling out by the end of the day.

I imagine it's because my hair is heavy and/or I'm active and play with it too much... one solution I thought of is to have it curled tight in order to have it folded out by the end of the day. Would this work or would the curls stay too small?

As well, are there any other suggestions I could work with? I do not have much extra time on my hands for hair products, however I may be able to manage running out and buying something last minute if the product is absolutely amazing and sworn by.

Good and bad news

If your curls fall out it is probably due to the fact that you have very healthy hair.

Bad news, the way you want it won't stay unless you damage it.

There are many products out there you could try but you might just think of trying a different look.

I had an "up" do where the curls were at the top and they stayed because she pinned the curls to my head, I really liked it, I had the same problem as you, the curl just would not stay.

My advice is if you really want your hair the way you say, first go to the person that is going to do your hair and ask her opinion about a product to keep your hair from falling. If you have been using the same lady, maybe find someone else.

I have found that most professional gradr hair products do work much better than store bought ones and yeah I could list some great products that might work well for you but the truth is, there are different products for different reasond and formulated for different hair types.

Your stylist should know the right information to give you and since she can see your hair she will know what to do for you.
