How to deal with poofy, wavy hair?

Don't brush your hair when it is dry or drying, this will only make it poofier. If you want to have it wavy, get a mousse or styling gel (I like herbal essences tousle me softly or the suave curling mousse). If you blowdry your hair, get a diffuser attachment for your blowdrier and only dry your hair about halfway, then let it airdry the rest of the way.
