"  &amp;quot;My hair is extremely thick. It takes forever to dry and straighten. If I don&amp;#039;t straighten it, it is a big, poofy mess. How can I get my hair to be thinner?&amp;quot; Emma, 14, Cumming&amp;amp;lt; GA While there isn&amp;#039;t much you can do to change your hair&amp;#039;s texture, there are plenty of styling tricks to get it looking sleek and smooth. The next time you get a haircut, ask the stylist for &amp;quot;thinned-out layers.&amp;quot; He or she will use special shears to take some of the bulk out of your hair, helping it to lay flatter. When you&amp;#039;re doing your hair at home, apply a straightening balm to towel-dried hair before you blow-dry. Try Nexxus Sleek Memory Straightening Smoothing Spray, $14, drugstores. This leave-in spray actually &amp;quot;trains&amp;quot; your hair to be straighter each time you style it, so it should only take half as long to get the look you want!
