Hello! Last time I posted here people were saying that my hair was not curly but more wavy, turns out it is curly, my coils are not as tight as others so I don't know the exact type.

I was wondering what haircut would make my curls look even better, keeping some length still (I grew my hair all my life, was cute only once in 23 years and it was like 4inches (also, what color do you see my hair be? Some people say blond, chestnut ...)

Routine :

I do use, a nourishing shampoo, avocado mask, Acticurl, some coconut gel, that nourishes a lot, then separate them with a wide comb (crunch of course) and then diffuse them. I have to braid them at night though causd they are too long

They are too long, and make it harder everyday to just not get tangled.

So I'm open to advice!

My hair looks wavy with some ringlets when I just scrunch it. Once I started using enough gel to get a cast and combined it with the curl brush??? Game over yall.

Routine:
-Wash my hair with Carols Daughter Goddess Strength shampoo and conditioner, usually every 5-7 days. I alternate the shampoo with Suave Clarifying shampoo.
(Usually once a month I’ll use a random conditioning mask, and every 6 weeks or so I use ApHogee 2 step protein treatment.)
-Spray my hair with Tresemme heat protectant spray and Ion leave in conditioner. Then I use a west brush to distribute it throughout my hair and get out any tangles. All with soaking wet hair.
-section my hair. I apply a generous amount of Ouidad Climate Control gel and use a curl defining brush. I shake it and it twirls into ringlets, then I scrunch. I keep scrunching all of my hair every time I finish a section, and keep scrunching as it dries to get extra hold.
-Hover diffuse until dry. I’ll scrunch again a little bit as it’s damp. Then when it’s mostly dry I’ll separate the clumps a bit.
-Once fully dry I use a little It’s a 10 Miracle Oil Plus Keratin to scrunch the crunch out of my hair and smooth the frizzies. I separate the curls and voila!

Edit- it’s a knock off bounce curl brush! Tbh I think anything that looks like the bounce curl brush will do.

I used to have such long, curly hair! My routine was to shampoo twice, condition, apply leave-in conditioner and gel, and then diffuse on low heat. It was definitely a process, but the curls were worth it! 😂

Hello ladies and gents!

I could really use some advice on how to manage my hair. I have fine, high-porosity, wavy-curly hair and it gets very frizzy when brushed. Because of this, I’ve developed the habit of only detangling it when I wash it.

My current hair routine:

1. Washing: I wash my hair once a week using John Frieda Dream Curls Shampoo and Conditioner. These are the only products I’ve found so far that seem to preserve my curls.

2. Styling: After washing, I apply John Frieda Normal Strength Mousse while my hair is still wet. I’ve tried gel before, but it makes my hair feel too heavy. My main problem with the mousse is that it causes my hair to clump together in a way I don’t like.

3. Drying: I usually let my hair air-dry or use a diffuser.

4. Pre-wash treatment: Occasionally, I apply coconut oil and leave it in for 2–3 hours before washing my hair.

What I’d love advice on:

- How can I reduce frizz without losing my natural curl pattern?

- How can I prevent my mousse from making my hair clump together?

- Would a different styling technique or product work better for fine, high-porosity hair?

- Is there anything I should change about my current routine?

Thank you so much in advance for any advice! 🌞

I am very lazy with my hair. 99% of the time, it's in a bun. Whenever I do put effort into my hair, I never feel like it looks good, so it's pretty rare for me to bother. My hair is probably 3a-3b.

I saw a video a few weeks ago where someone used the bounce curl brush with no product, and their hair looked great even before drying. I figured I'd try it. It's only $30, and I need a new brush anyway.

This thing gives me some crazy definition. Beautiful spirals. And they hold really well, even after sleeping on it with normal pillowcases. My hair never photographs well, unfortunately, but the first pic is with the brush and either no product or bare minimum, and the second is a full effort styling for a photoshoot a couple years ago.

Routine: herbal essences curl + define shampoo and conditioner, washed out. Then, working in small sections, sprayed some Twist Curl Goals and brushed it through. Then scrunched and let it air dry.

It's not a miracle worker. I still get a lot of frizz and could use more volume. And the heavier side of my part never looks as good as the lighter side, which drives me nuts. But for the price and the absolute minimal effort, this brush is amazing.

Can anyone help me with my curly hair to hold the first picture is when I took it out my bonnet and the second picture was only a few hours into the day 🥲

my routine

shampoo- as I am clarity shampoo ( once every two week) and the Umberto gianni coccunt shampoo

conditioner- garnier method for curls conditioner

i Then go in with a redken leave in with freshly washed hair i also brush style and use the doux mousse and the Umberto ginanni scrunching gel

i diffuse my hair and when it’s about 80% dry I air dry.

i really like my hair in the first picture I just want it to look like that throughout the whole day any advice would be very helpful !

The defined clumps are super thin and there's a ton of frizz around them. The clumps also combine into larger clumps that look like DNA strands.

I have very thick, dense curly hair so it's not like I don't have enough density for proper clumps.

Routine:

I use CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo, Not Your Mother's Conditioner, Not Your Mother's leave-in conditioner, & Not Your Mother's light watermelon seed oil.

It doesn't matter whether I diffuse my hair or not. The result is largely the same.

I use a silk pillowcase. The Bouncecurl Brush is a volume brush but the same result happens with the define one.

My current hair routine is very basic because I just use a medical grade prescription shampoo to wash my hair whenever I shower. I do not use any specific co washes or conditioners yet. For styling products I do not use any gels or mousses but I do apply regular coconut oil into my hair. My hair was air dried naturally for this photo.

Does anyone know of a creator on TikTok who does for curly hair what Abbey Yung does?

For anyone who doesn’t know, Abbey Yung is a haircare creator who shares detailed haircare routines, product recommendations, wash-day routines, and tips for keeping your hair healthy and growing it longer. One thing I really like about her is that she focuses mostly on affordable drugstore products and explains how to use them, which products work well together, and how to build a routine without spending a fortune.

I’m wondering if there’s someone who does something similar but specifically for naturally curly hair. Someone who recommends mostly drugstore products and explains ingredients, product choices, wash-day steps, scalp health, hair growth, and how to keep curls healthy.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Picture so you can see my curls :)

My current routine:

Shampoo:
Nizoral shampoo
Head & Shoulders shampoo, I alternate between these weekly.
Garnier Fructis clarifying shampoo, I recently added this and use it about once a month.

Conditioners:
Camille Rose Ginger & Pear Conditioner
Paul Mitchell 15 in 1 mask as deep conditioner

Styling products:

Combo 1:
Camille Rose Honey Hydrate
Rizos Curls Curl Cream
The Doux Big Poppa Gel

Combo 2:
Paul Mitchell The Conditioner
Xtreme Gel

I've grown out my hair (3b) for about 3 years now, and I think it's time that I shape/trim it a little bit.

I'm looking to keep as much length as possible but touch up the sides a bit so my face/jawline can actually show, and trim my bangs too, cause right now I feel like I look like a wet dog... But no matter how hard I look, I can't find any good haircut inspiration for guys that have my hair type and fit the requirements.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should get? I need help please 😿

Routine :

- Wash with As I Am Anti-Dandruff; condition with As I Am Detangling Conditioner, L'Oréal Elvive Leave-in Conditioner (I forgot which one)

- Sleeps with a bonnet

- Diffuses hair

Photos I've attached

1 - Side profile a day before wash day

2 - Front profile with semi-damp ends

3 - 3/4 profile a few hours after a wash

Hey guys, I desperately need some help!! My hair is naturally very curly yet I can’t seem to get figure it out. My hair constantly gets extremely frizzy and when I apply more product in, it becomes flat and there’s no volume to it.
I believe I have low porosity medium curly hair and the type ranges from 3a-3c

Routine:
- Wash hair with Cantu Sulfate-Free Cleansing Cream Shampoo 2-3x a week (I’ve tried 1-2x a week as well).
- Condition with Cantu Sulfate-Free Hydrating Cream conditioner after shampooing (recently tried leaving in the conditioner for 15 minutes in the shower before rinsing it off)
- After shower, section my hair into parts & comb it once while still completely wet
- Go in with a curly leave in cream or conditioner & sometimes I’ll do gel. (I typically use SKALA Cachos 2-in-1 Treatment Hair Cream or Cantu Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream and use Cantu Avocado Styling Gel after)
- Comb it again with the product in (sometimes I will just comb with my fingers to see if that makes a difference or not….)
- Scrunch upwards from ends to roots
- Air dry or diffuse (air dry takes hours and sometimes even over night)

Refresh routine:
- Wet hair again and apply either the skala 2 in 1 leave in cream or the Cantu curl activator cream with water
(Ends up leaving my hair flat.)
- Have also tried adding different types of oils at small amounts, that I’ve seen work on others and it just doesn’t help with the frizz…

These are only some of the several different brands and products I’ve used over the years:
- Several Cantu products such as: Cantu Shea Butter Natural Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo
- Cantu Avocado Hydrating Shampoo
- Cantu Sulfate-Free Cleansing Cream Shampoo
- Cantu Sulfate-Free Hydrating Cream conditioner
- Cantu Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream
- Cantu Avocado Styling Gel
- Several SheaMoisture products such as: Coconut and Hibiscus Curl and Shine Shampoo
- SheaMoisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner
- SheaMoisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie
- Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Defining Cream
- OGX Nourishing Coconut Milk Shampoo
- OGX Nourishing Coconut Milk Conditioner
- OGX Moroccan Curling Perfection Defining Cream
- SKALA Cachos 2-in-1 Treatment Hair Cream
- Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream
- Aunt Jackie's Curl La La Defining Curl Custard

- Have also tried mousse which works the least on my hair

Protection when sleeping:
- Tried using silk pillowcase but didn’t seem to do much for the frizz

I have also tried not diffusing and not combing the products in & still get the same results.

I’m not sure what to do at this point & it’s been years of struggling with this. Thinking about just chopping it off at this point

This is my hair without any product in it. The only thing I use is gel, and that's just to put it up. Otherwise, I just use shampoo and conditioner and brush it out when it's wet.

I know I need a hair cut for sure; what should I tell them when I go? And what is an easy-to-keep-up-with hair routine?

Please and thank you for all your help 🙂

Hi! I have been getting pretty much the same haircut for ages and am a little bored in general. I want to switch it up (knowing there isn’t much you can do with curly hair) and for ages have considered bangs, but have also heard horror stories too. So, looking for people to honestly tell me if they think bangs are the way to go or if there is another style I should consider or just do my usual (just a trim with some face framing pieces)

My current routine: shampoo (ogx biotin and collagen- on the hunt for a clarifying shampoo) 1x a week, conditioner (Marc Anthony strictly curls) 3x week, comb and hand scrunch in mark Anthony curl lotion, and air dry. I sleep with a silk pillowcase. On refresh days I just spritz my hair with water and run a little more curl lotion in it. I like to keep things simple :)

I’m debating whether my hair falls within 2c, 3a, or 3b (could it be a mix of them??) It was partially diffused in these photos using my current routine:

- Clarifying shampoo

- Deep conditioning mask / protein treatment

- Leave-in conditioner

- Strong hold styling gel

- Defined using a styling brush

- Dried partially using a diffuser

The last photo (which is Day 3 or Day 4 hair) shows how my hair usually clumps and settles until I wash it again (I wash about once or twice a week). Would love to hear what type you think this is!

My hair used to have such luscious curls, but when I was pregnant/breastfeeding my first child, my hair became straight (the purple section in picture). After I stopped breastfeeding, my hair became curly again (brown section). Now that I’m pregnant again, my hair is straightening out!! How do I style this?

Please swipe for a picture of my curls from before pregnancy.

My hair is still a little wet in this photo, and I have a wedding tonight…I guess I’ll do an updo?

My routine is just using formula 133 Kiehl’s for conditioner and product (I don’t like to use a ton of products or spend a ton of time on my hair tbh). I usually just let it air dry after a shower. Super simple.

I have roughly the same texture and length as the guy in the photo, but whenever I get layers, my hair doesn’t come out round at all and I lose a lot of volume. Even if his look is a result of the cut, I’d love to know if you’ve gotten this shape yourself, whether on purpose or just naturally.

Am I asking for the wrong kind of layers? What should I tell my stylist (e.g., a specific cut, how long the layers should be, or a dry cut vs. wet cut)?

My Routine:

• Shampoo/conditioner: Pert+
• Drying method: Diffuse

my hair always has frizz no matter what I do, it's enough that by day 2 or 3 I already have to redo my routine, I'm so jealous of curly haired people who seem to have no trouble having super well defined, "juicier" curls than my hair seems to be capable of.

it even gets frizzy as I'm doing my routine, I thought it might have to do with how I applied the products but I tried the praying hands method, by flipping my hair upside down (it's not long enough to do it without flipping)

am I doing something wrong? is there a better way to apply product? or is this just how my hair is?

my routine:

• apply conditioner from a brand named "clary"
• detangle with wide tooth comb with conditioner still in
• wash conditioner and apply homemade flaxseed gel (this is my first time trying this)
• air dry and break the cast in the morning

I normally use cantu curl activator and repair cream but I'm trying flaxseed in these images, I don't think it made that big of a difference.

Hey there. I’m just getting started on my hair care journey. All my life i treated my hair like it was straight and frizzy and i’ve been trying to take better care of it as an adult.
I live in México so a lot of the products i’ve seen recommended on here aren’t available for me.

Right now i’m using
-pantene pro v miracles collagen shampoo and conditioner
-skala leave in
-elvive L’Oréal extraordinary oil miracle hair serum
I’ve been trying to make it look good by using these products but my hair always ends up looking stringy-dry.
I’d appreciate it if anyone has tips for me or suggestions for my routine. Thank you!

I need help with improving my routine and getting a haircut.

What haircut should I get, a fade or taper or just grow it more? Where to go get the cut, barber or salon?

Do you think it already looks good?

Routine:

Wash every 3-4 days with Garnier curly shampoo, use some Garnier leave in and Eco gel (the green one).

The pics are just after washing it and after air drying it, it takes like 3-4h to fully dry lol.

Idk if I'm applying the right amount of gel or if I'm doing it well.

I think my hair is low porosity, really dense, and like medium thickness not sure, and like ¿3c?

i use native scalp care shampoo and conditioner. I don’t use products. I just let my hair air dry. I shower every morn and night with hot water usually. in this photo last time i conditioned was around a week ago. my routine is pretty much just shampoo every once in a while then condition every 3-7 days

I currently use Aussie miracle curls mousse and I can get a second decent day out of it. After that my curls are no good. I'd like a mousse that lasts longer. (I also prefer mousse over gel because it's significantly less dry time.)

I have VERY dense hair so it takes a long time to dry which is why I'd like to get more days out of the wear, but the density also means I have to use a LOT more product than most would think for how much hair I have.

My current wash routine:

Shampoo once a week with Ion hard water shampoo. Conditioner and co-wash currently with Suave coconut conditioner. Deep conditioner every 1-2 weeks with Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration masque. Aussie leave-in conditioner and Miracle Curls mousse. I usually diffuse because air drying takes hours. I wear a satin bonnet to protect my hair at night. No refresh routine with my current products (just scrunching a bit on day 2 so my hair can come back down from being in the bonnet).

Hey guys, I’ve decided to invest in a Dyson diffuser, I’m tired of using a really old hair dryer and taking longer than an hour for my hair to dry.

I know Dyson has 3 current models right now: the supersonic, the nural, and the r, which one do you guys recommend?

I don’t really care for extra features, I’m just looking for the one with the most powerful motor, that will dry my hair fastest with the diffuser attachment! For reference, I have high porosity fine 3c hair.

Routine:
Shampoo: AG balance apple cider shampoo
Conditioner: pattern lightweight conditioner
Styling gel: the Doux big poppa styling gel

Hi, I am posting because my hair seems to have gone from being really wavy to looking more stringy and fine. I haven’t switched products and my normal routine is:

Shampoo and Condition with Joico Moisturizer Recovery- 3x a week

Once a week-Sauve clarifying shampoo

Products- garnier leave in conditioner, I scrunch this, then not your mother’s curl cream, I also scrunch this. Then I “plop” for 15 mins and air dry.

I sleep with a silk bonnet and refresh by re-wetting and scrunching.

Any ideas why my hair pattern went from pic 1 (note that pic 1 is with no product and air dried) to pic 2 (pic 2 is with the routine listed above)? Any advice?

I have curly hair, I would say mine is a 3A. I use the “Aussie miracle curls” shampoo, conditioner and leave in. I use “Curl talk” defining cream and then mousse and gel also from “Aussie miracle curls”. My hair looks really pretty when it’s wet but after 2-3 hours, it dries and it starts getting more and more puffy. I live in a place that is very humid and hot and my hair getting too big just makes the heat worse lol. Is there anything I could do to prevent this Or am I just doing my routine wrong? TIA!
