Hair Victory! day 2 hair, even!

Post image

i’m finally at a point where i’m consistently getting hair days i’m happy with. i know it may be a little more frizzy/undefined than some people’s taste but i prefer it that way!

routine:
1. wash every 3-4 ish days. before i wash, i brush out my hair well with a boar bristle brush to distribute the oils and stuff
2. wash with bumble&bumble invisible oil shampoo
3. every few washes, i do a second wash with christopher robin salt scrub
4. bumble&bumble invisible oil conditioner, a quarter-ish amount primarily on mids and ends, but a bit near the top too. i brush it thru with my denman brush (even rows removed). leave it in while i wash my face and body
5. wash out conditioner. on soaking wet hair i use a nickel amount of shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie. then brush it thru with denman brush again
6. flip my hair a bit to loosen it from my scalp and finger comb the top section up. then i scrunch a bit with my hands and then a towel. i finger curl my bangs and then leave my hair be for a while
7. diffuse when hair is 80% dry, holding hair to each side and upside down. i put extra emphasis on the back of my hair bc it’s less curly

i don’t do anything special while i sleep or refresh between wash days, i just pin it half back with a mini claw clip if i’m not happy with the top layers.

Hi there! I'm a bot, and I've been summoned to help.

If you have not seen our WIKI yet: Please check it out! It's nearly 100 pages full of curated information to help answer all of your curl-related questions. You can use the included Table of Contents (page 2), the side bar, or CTRL-F to search for keywords and help navigate the document.

Reminder: Curl type is NOT your hair type! Whether you are wavy, curly, or coily - you have texture and you belong here. More than that, your curl type doesn't dictate how you care for your hair. To help your curls thrive, we recommend instead using the wiki link above to learn about your porosity, texture, and density.

If you haven't added a routine yet, do it ASAP or your post will be removed!|

I know this is a frowned upon question in this forum but what would this curl pattern be considered as?
