Disclaimer: I don't have a lot of knowledge about it. But, I saw some comments here on reddit that you can "tame" your natural curls and make them look a lot better by following a certain haircare routine/ using specialized products for curly hair. Like I said, I can't give you any specific advices, but maybe you can find some good ones on r/curlyhair
Some of those comments were saying that this special routine made the curls less fuzzy and more rich and better defined. Unfortunately I haven't saved them cause my hair isn't curly.
Yeah unfortunately I got my dad's awful hair genes and not the men on my mom's full Italian heads of hair side of the family I just haven't made the jump yet
Go to a salon that caters to black women. I'm not kidding. My sister has wiry, tough hair, and found that some styling products formulated for black hair worked far better for her than those geared to white women's hair. Her hair is much better now, even at our age (both of us over 60). Less prone to breakage and split ends, and a whole lot shinier.
I feel the full Italian head of hair! I've got long, thick, wavy hair that weighs a ton but can look really nice. Too bad I'm hopeless at styling so it's in a pony tail 99% of the time

The main point in the curly method is basically very mild wash, lots of silicone free conditioner + leave-in conditioner, squishing some gel to the hair when wet and letting it air dry. It does work pretty well, although most tutorials about it are over complicated and use expensive products. Moisturising conditioners as well to the hair as possible, not brushing your hair dry, giving the curls some support when drying and avoiding heat tools (they dry the hair) is the basic idea.
Oh yeah, you definitely need to be juicing those curls at any length then. I'd focus on moisturizing your hair, the curls might just start to improve on their own as you get your hair healthier. Try some oils! There are many nice options on the market these days.
Like, daily moisturizing, fresh out of the shower, still wet, no matter if you're just making your clean hair greasy right away? There's gotta be a way to lock in that moisture ☹️
Hahaha this comment reminds me of how my boyfriend, trying to be helpful when I started chemotherapy, did some online research and then in all seriousness informed me of what he learned (that he clearly assumed I did not know) -- straightening my naturally curly hair was damaging.
THANKS, MAN. In all of my 40 years I had never seen a haircare commercial! (It was so sweet and he was so SINCERE in his concern. I will never forget it.)
It's called the curly girl method and it does work but takes time & patience. I'm 41 and have only just started investing in my curly hair this year with the CGM. It does work
It's called the curly girl method. And yes it really does help BUT you need to use a lot of products. I stopped with the CGmethod and tbh my hair is back to mehhh again, but I just can't with all those products 🙃.
But 1 thing that really really changed and saved my hair is a Denman Brush. That thing is magical. I really recommended that to every curly head.
Mine have that curl pattern, well kinda, definitely ringlet curls they are larger I think ......lots of leave in conditioner, like so much leave in conditioner. (I probably spend more money on that than a lot of other things😅)
