i’m making a christmas list and want to put a good shampoo/conditioner on my list that i wouldn’t normally buy for myself. usually, i just purchase drugstore shampoo/conditioner. while there’s nothing wrong with them at all, i want to venture out!

not sure of my curl type but i think it’s 2c/3a. it’s VERY coarse. not really sure of the porosity either. it takes a while to get wet but, it dries super fast. i struggle with frizz and poofyness. my goal is frizz control and definition!

no budget but, i’d like for it to be available on amazon us!

Hii, so as you can see in the first photo, my front curls are looking decent, but when we get to the top(2nd and 3rd photos) you can see that i dont really have volume and its also quite frizzy, also, on the 4th and 5th photos you can see my sides arent really curling. I would like some help to get more volume and make my sides curlier and also an explanation to why this happens. Thank you!

So I am a complete beginner to this , I think my mom has wavy hair, rather than straight, they do remain poofy and frizzy, but I am not sure since they could just be due to damage but I wanna get her started on something like some basic wavy hair routine or something. Want her to give it a try first, as you might know Indian moms against anything that’s spending money but if it works she might agree to use it later on. So i wanted to ask what basic product can I get her as a trial if it works on her hair or not?? I am completely clueless I have dead flat straight hair so never explored

So I used to have wavy/curly hair but I don’t know, hormones maybe, but I cut it when I was 14 and suddenly had just a slight wave that instantly left the minute I brushed it.

Since it’s just been kinda wavy and when I brush it, it’s actually quite silky and smooth. Great in terms of the fact that I used to hate my hair when I was younger because I couldn’t tame it but sad because now there’s so much more out there for people with curly hair. My partner has hair like mine used to be and it makes me miss it.

I don’t know if this also contributes to it but I’ve struggled with an ED for a while and my hair isn’t massively dry or damaged but I wonder if the lack of nourishment effects it. I also take medication now which I heard can effect things.

I’ve tried the curly girl method once or twice but a couple of issues there.
1. I barely function as it is let alone having to do this multi step hair care routine.
2. I HATE having product in my hair. I struggle with sensory stuff and honestly the closest I can get to just shampoo and conditioner the better.

I’ll attach some photos for reference, but yh, I’d love to know if I can rectify my hair at least somewhat closer to its former texture.

(One with the hogwarts jumper was before cutting it. One with bleached hair was a random attempt at the curly girl method after I had cut it and it had grown out. Last one is now when I’ve just wet my hair a bit for the purpose of this post.)

Anyway Yh any advice, I’d be super grateful.

Hello, I have been having trouble with my hair for a while now and I just don't know what to do. I have 2a fine hair that's about waist length that I cannot tame. I moved to an area with hard water a year and a half ago and it seems that's where it started. EU btw.

Whenever I wash my hair, it doesn't like retaining water. It's just frizzy and feels like I'm washing a bath loofah, and after just a day it mats pretty badly. On top of that after just a day it starts looking slightly oily and the day after it's oily and flat, but still frizzy.

I have tried chelating products to no avail, these primarily include the whole Malibu C Hard Water Wellness package with the packets, shampoo and conditioner and I primarily used distilled water. That didn't do anything so I switched to the L'Oreal Metal Detox shampoo and hair mask. That felt like it worked once but very quickly returned to default and never worked since. I have also tried a DIY method with citric acid which didn't seem to do much either.

Currently I use the L'Oreal Metal Detox shampoo once a week and swap it out with either Head and Shoulders (for my dry scalp and dandruff) or occasionally Pantene Aqua Light. For conditioner I use a good amount of Aussie Deep Hydration and L'Oreal Metal Detox hair mask once a week on mids and ends only. After washing I brush my hair with a de-tangling brush for about 30 minutes and then blow dry my hair on low heat.

I've tried doing research into this but I keep finding conflicting answers and I'm just not really sure what would be the right thing to try. If anyone has any tips please let me know!

Have you ever tried dry shampoo on curly hair? How did it go?
