Any tips on growing out my hair, without it going to the afro look?

I have very thick and curly hair, so whenever I let it grow for a bit, it just tends to go straight up, into basically what looks like Clown hair. Are there any tricks or tips that I can do or things I can get done to straighten it out a little, and help it grow downwards? Would chemical straighteners help?

Any tips on growing out my hair, without it going to the afro look?

Hi,

If you were to put a relaxer on it, you hair would never go back to it's origional state. Just bear in mind that once you start relaxing you get newgrowth that will need to be touched up.I agree with getting some braids or even a weave, this will give your hair a rest and my hair seems to grow faster when in a weave. hope this helps

Either braid it, having the braids going dowards, straighten it with a relaxer, or lightly press it with a pressing comb. I need to know what kind of hair style your trying to acheive.
