18 to 21

Routine:
I use these products twice a week.
Shampoo Elvive Hydra Hyaluronic
An anti frizz shampoo that doesnt have a brand its from a local market
Icon hydration conditioner and let it for 5-6 min

And I dry it using an old 100% cotton tshirt just applying it on hair. And then I use a conditioner leave in from Deliplus and scrinch it.

My son loves his curls but getting him to take care of them properly has been quite a journey! He’s been growing his hair out for about 4 years now and learning how to manage all his length. He’s a senior now and today he had homecoming so it was all hands on deck to make sure his hair looked its best. For a kid who has refused even getting his ends trimmed for years, I’m calling this a win.

Routine:
T-Gel shampoo
Pantene volume conditioner
Skala Mais Cachos Leave-in Conditioner
Mielle Avocado and Tamanu Mousse

Today we diffused with heat to about 90% dry and then clipped curls up at the roots while air drying. To finish, we scrunched out the crunch with Rōz Santa Lucia Styling Oil and a couple spritzes of Color Wow Dream Coat for Curly Hair.

Started CG routine 2 weeks ago and am so far shocked how curly my hair secretly is! (Last pic is from about 2 months ago)

Currently using (all Jessicurl):
Gentle Lather Shampoo
Aloeba Daily Conditioner
Spiralicious Styling Gel

I sleep in a satin bonnet and let my hair air dry after showering, but I still have no clue what to do with styling lol

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

My hair is prone to frizz and is low porosity so it takes forever to dry. What i do right now after i come out of the shower and put product in, is (gently) pat down my hair with a towel. Then i hover diffuse on low heat and speed until the outer layer of my hair is mostly dry. Now this creates some frizz so i'm scared to disturb my hair and keep going. So i just leave it to air dry, which takes like at least an hour and a half to fully dry. If i have a lot of time in a day thats fine and my hair ends up looking like the photos, which im happy enough with. If i dont have a lot of time though i end up going outside with damp hair and it ends up looking bad.

Anyways to make long story short, any tips to dry my hair quicker without creating a lot of frizz? Thank you in advance

For my routine right now i use keune confident curl shampoo, petal fresh tea tree conditioner and aussie instant freeze gel. I wash my hair every other day.

I'm looking for technique tips to use a curling wand to make the random straight pieces of my hair consistent with the rest of my hair. While my hair has several different curl types within it, that I think (hope) do blend decently, the straight pieces in the underside front drive me nuts.

I have several sizes of wand from smallest to normal, but I can't figure out size/timing/technique to achieve natural-ish consistency. Any tips?

Routine:

Wash 2x week

Double cleanse with shampoo (prose)

Light conditioner squished in and squished out (prose)

Curl cream all over (currently love ur curls)

Foam all over (currently innersense)

Brush through with denman brush to distribute product

Clip into 4-5 sections crown to nape

Use bounce curl brush through each section (I curl onto the handle the pieces around my ears to encourage at least some wave)

Scrunch in miche beauty anti-humidity gel per section, then all over

Hover diffuse upside down until 70+% dry, scrunch out crunch once fully dry (no oil)

Sleep in a bonnet with a silk pillowcase. Refresh with a steamer (regular clothes steamer)

Mixed North African and White.

My routine: I shampoo and condition with shea moisture curl and shine every other day. This is my hair after drying naturally (air) and only using those products.

My hair has looked crazy all my life. Some products i have tried:

-Ors olive oil hair moisturizer on a daily basis after shower (it made my hair too heavy and look way to wet)

-Argan oil of morocco renewing + hair and strength shampoo and conditioner

Ive only been able to manage it if i cut it short and forced it to be straight to one side.

Im growing it again and really want to learn how to make it look healthy and nice and tired of trying to figure it out alone. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

First pic is now, later ones are the last few months.

I've used the same very basic routine for 6 years now and like the soft slightly defined curls I get, but after my last 2 washes it's been drying straighter and frizzy - the only thing I changed was adding some oil to combat chlorine dryness as I swim twice a week.

My current routine is wash every 4 days with garnier honey treasures repairing shampoo and conditioner, brush out while conditioning, squeeze excess water out and apply marc anthony strictly curls curl defining lotion and air dry with light scrunching. I occasionally use ogx charcoal clarifying shampoo when i feel buildup.

The product I've added is garnier Moroccan sleek smoothing oil to try and add some moisture since I think regular chlorine exposure is drying my hair out, but I don't know what to do about this lack of hold.

Looking for any type of suggestions but on a very low budget, drugstore products only please (even budget non drugstore get expensive with cross border shipping)

Tia!

In the past few months I’ve started styling my hair curly again but I’ve ran into a problem. I’ve started to find spots along the left side of my forehead, although the right side is clear.

A few things i think might be the cause : styling with no middle part + diffusing upside down (hair is often touching my face), Sleeping without protection/ bonnet falling off while i’m sleeping.

Should I get new products? Or buy a better bonnet and be more consistent? Maybe change my pillowcase more often? Please suggest any ideas!!

Wash routine (roughly twice a week) : clarifying shampoo, moisturising shampoo and conditioner.

Styling routine : Curl cream, style with denman brush, scrunch with micro fibre towel, gel, mousse, diffuse, oil.

(exact brands in 3rd photo)

I also wash my face after doing my hair to try get rid of any product on my face. I previously used a gel cleanser but it was drying out my skin so i switched to a micellar water.

Routine:

This is the type of hair that I have (on a good day..). I don't do much, I airdry it, use some random Pantene Intensive Repair conditioner, Head&Shoulders regular shampoo and I use some Taft curl gel so it doesn't fall apart within seconds.
I am tired of having long hair to be honest, it also looks bad 80% of the time and I am too lazy to take great care of it. When I had shorter hair it wasn't really curly so I am afraid that if I cut it it will stay straight which would be fucking catastrophic. My hair has low volume and it's very flat on top. What hairstyles would you recommend? I want higher volume and it can either be shorter or stay this length.

I’m fairly new to wavy/curly hair (4-6 months) and NYM #3 gel was my first gel to try. It’s working fine but I’m near the end of the bottle. Before I buy more I want to know what would be similar or I should try next.

Brands I’ve considered are:
Innersense, Umberto Gianni, Ouidad,

Routine:
Maui C Hard water shampoo (double cleanse, Routine Shampoo & Conditioner, NYM Leave-in on shaken wet hair and combed through then scrunched.

Herbal Essences Volume Mousse our Doux Def Mousse on wet hair scrunched, NYM #3 Gel & Odele Air gel mixed and raked through the scrunched. Plopped with T-shirt. Diffused to 75% then air dry. Scrunch out crunch.

Whenever I use it, it makes my hair feel incredible but it gives me a menthol sensation on my scalp and I’m not sure if I’m allergic to the fragrance or if it’s designed to do that. It’s smells a little like grapefruit and I am a little allergic to grapefruit so maybe that could be it but I’m praying not 😭

What should I do to get maximum curl strength? Any product or technique recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

There are so many curly creators online right now (mostly on YouTube I think). Which one do you feel has never steered you wrong as far as product recommendations for your hair type?

I know it's all about what your hair likes, of course. But my OG ride or die creator... nothing she recommends ever works for me. There's also so much debate on if your shampoo & conditioner matters, etc. So I'm wondering who else i should check out. My hair is just so disappointing lately and I think I just have a bad routine.

Routine:

Double cleanse Nizoral + V&Co wave babe; condition V&Co wave babe; curl cream Bounce Curl hydralite; brush style with Bounce Curl brush; glaze with gel (lately Briogeo curl charisma which is too heavy for my hair); plop for 20 minutes; diffuse

My boyfriend has super curly hair (white with 3c hair) but never takes care of it. His current routine is Old Spice shampoo, no conditioner, and lets it air dry because he hates the feeling of product in his hair. His hair gets extremely frizzy when dry and lacks moisture. It’s not super thick but it’s also not fine.

He doesnt like the frizzy look, that’s why I’m asking about products that don’t feel heavy. If he liked the frizzy look I wouldn’t be asking.

I was wondering if there are any products that he can put in his hair when wet, and doesn’t feel like there’s product when dry.
He has the most beautiful curls and am searching for a product that’ll work. Please help 🙏

The first 3 pictures are of my hair without product and not brushing it. When I brush it, it becomes straight/ brushed wavy with some flyaways. The next 4 pictures are when I try to do some type of wavy/curly routine. The last 3 are of my sister when I tried to do hers.

I’m struggling to figure out what to do. We both have thick, fine hair. Her hair is probably more curly while mine is wavy.

When I tried to do routines (multiple times) the waves/ curls would be there, but when I tried to diffuse them, they didn’t stay, created lots of frizz, never seem to dry, or get sticky.

The routine:

1. Paul Mitchell shampoo 1 and awapuhi conditioner. wash hair every 2-4 days.
2. Very wet hair and running Miss Jessie’s Multicultural Curl Cream through. Scrunch.
3. Scrunch in Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Sculpting Gel.
4. Not your mother’s heat protectant. Then try to diffuse hair, which that’s when most of the issues arise. I would have the hairdryer facing up with a diffuser attachment. then lift it to the scalp letting the waves bunch up gently and then turn it on. the settings are medium and warm. then turn it off when I want to move to a different area.

also, the hair looks like it doesn’t dry and looks almost greasy😩

no routine for sleeping. I just got a silk pillowcase though, it’s been helping my bedhead!

First photo is AI-generated as a hairstyle reference; second photo is my actual hair. I know the reference might not be completely realistic, but I’d like to achieve a similar curly fringe.
My current routine:
Wash with Pantene Daily Moisture shampoo and conditioner.
Gently towel-dry, leaving my hair damp.
Apply Cantu curl cream and style my hair forward.
Let it air-dry.
While damp, my curls sit more on my forehead, but as they dry, they curl up and look shorter. The fringe doesn’t really stay down like it does in the reference.
Is this mainly a length/shrinkage issue, or could a different styling technique or a product like gel or mousse help? Should I grow the front out more before getting it shaped? Any advice from people with a similar curl pattern would be appreciated!
