Right now my hair is shoulder lenght, I am letting it grow for the wedding which is in 2 years. But I don't know what to do with it? my hair is naturally curly and frizzy and it gets flat on top. What is good to use to make it look nice? what style should I do?

I have the same hair and went with a half up and half down style with a headband and the veil attached at the ends of the headband so the half up hair covered the top of the veil.
As for your hair in general, the best thing you can do for it is make it look healthy which is not easy to do with hair like ours. Here is the combination that I figured out after many years of trying to make this hair look great. Tressame Shampoo and Conditioner (the new touchable softness line workd wonders), Aveda Be Curly style prep and the Aveda Be Curly in the grey bottle. If you need hairspray, Aveda's witchhazel hairspray.
To keep your hair from getting flat on top, have your stylist cut some layers into it. My hair is at bra strap length right now so I have long layers that keep the style from being flat but also keep it from poofing out in a triangle shape.

Thanks. I've tried the layers and no matter what its still flat on top! Thanks for the advice tho, I will look for those products!!
As for your haircuts, seems counter productive if you're trying to grow your hair out but, get your hair cut at least every 8 weeks, even if its just a 1/4". As for layers, the WAY the layers are cut makes a difference. A stylist can't cut layers in curly hair the way they would straight or even wavy hair.
I just realized I went on forever, sorry about that! I'm just passionate and happy to help!!
I have TONS and TONS more suggestions, tips and advice for your hair if you want it, just PM me. I love to help.
[QUOTE]irishangieb , how is curly hair layered? (since it has to be done differently than wavy or straight hair).

My stylist cut them vertical.
