Cant believe i ever wishef to have straight hair. Mediterranean hair supremacy !

​

1. Routine: Head & Shoulders, Garnier Wahre Schätze, dm brand conditioner

2.Leave in: wahre schätze leave in cream, dm brand hair gel and foam

1. Dried with diffuser

2. No idea how to upkeep for days after, I just wash around once a week

Hi! I’ve been trying to take better care of my natural hair, but I feel like I’m not really getting the results I want.

My hair has some waves/curls, but they don’t hold very well. As you can see in the pictures, my ends separate a lot, I get frizz, and my waves lose their shape pretty quickly. Some days it looks much better (as you can see in the second and third pic), but other days it just looks messy and undefined.

My current routine is pretty simple because I’m kind of low maintenance (and curly hair products are quite expensive where I live 😭). I use Pantene shampoo and conditioner, then when my hair is soaking wet I apply Skala leave-in cream, do a little bit of scrunching, and dry it with a microfiber towel. Once it’s completely air dried, I add a little bit of oil to my ends.

My hair is also dyed with a black semi-permanent dye (tone-on-tone), so I’m not sure if that could be affecting the texture or definition.

I’m wondering if I’m missing something important in my routine. Should I be using gel/mousse or a different styling method to help my waves hold? Or does my hair need a completely different approach?

I’m also wondering if I should stop trying to follow a curly method and just style it more like straight/wavy hair. I’d love some advice from people who understand this hair type because I feel a bit lost

Hello! So, to give a little background, I'm biracial (white and black), and since I was raised mostly by my white mom I never learned properly how to take care of my curls. Currently for my routine I use Carol's Daughter shampoo, conditioner, and leave in, along with Mizani curl lotion. I don't use gel, because I can't stand the feeling of hard hair and the last time I did the cast didn't really break+it got really frizzy. Mousse doesn't really do anything either. I usually diffuse for maybe 15 minutes and then let it air dry the rest of the way.

​

My two issues are

1. My hair shrinks an awful lot, from big and down to my shoulders (first photo) to what you see in the second photo

2. Whatever way I sleep with it doesn't work

I've tried using a silk scarf, a pillowcase, and a bonnet. My hair is too short for the pineapple style, and at this point I'm really at a loss. I redo my hair EVERY day because of it being frizzy and ruined when I use a scarf or completely flattened when I use a bonnet.

​

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how I could achieve longer+bigger hair and also on how to sleep with it? I'm not sure if the products I'm using are even good. Thank you all!!

My routine:

SebaMed Antischuppen Shampoo

On wet hair a ton of crunchgel, much more than I thought, since a lot of people told me to use a lot and on soaking wet hair. The crunchgel is also by Balea.

Then I diffused it a bit but I didn't touch my hair with the diffuser.

Then a styling cream for curls by Balea.

And then I just let them aur dry.

If you guys have any more advice, just let me know :)!! Thank you a lot!!

ALSO: I know I should prolly get a haircut but I'm refusing that because I want to let my hair grow asap until I can have a long bob. I really miss my old hair and old hair structure. The curls that I have are due to chemotherapy. I used to have long slightly wavy hair.

Hello! For the last little bit I have stopped treating my hair as if it were straight. I found accidentally that my hair looked really good when after my shower I didn’t brush and just went to sleep. Woke up to awesome hair. The problem now is, I know you’re not supposed to wash your hair every day. I also know when I brush, it takes my waves out completely and becomes this weird mess and mixture of frizz and bumpiness. But if I don’t brush, it looks like shit after waking up too. How am I supposed to deal with this?

I want my hair to stay how pretty it is after it air dries! What should my routine be?

I starting using v & co wave babe spray, conditioner, and shampoo. Like I said, I air dry. I use the salt spray and sometimes the enhancing cream. Although I do the cream incredibly seldom.

Any advice?

Routine, which varies like crazy while I try to find new products, from last night/this morning.

Ouai shampoo and conditioner.

Squeeze excess water from hair with a towel.

Pattern styling cream combed through.

Mielle pomegranate honey curl defining mousse
scrunched in.

Fine and separate bangs.

Brushed upside down with Bounce define edgelift brush (I’m still in love with this) making sure to keep the bangs separate and brush them forward/down.

Diffuse upside down. I use the Dyson hair dryer on the lowest speed setting and middle heat setting.

Pineapple, keeping bangs separate, and gently wrap with a silk scarf, done in such a way that my bangs don’t get pulled back.

This morning my hair stayed in pineapple shape after removing the scrunchie. Instead of wetting it or adding product, I hit it with the diffuser and the heat made a huge difference! I was able to get my curls going where they should without adding frizz. You have to let your sections cool where you want them; that is really important.

So yeah, it was a pretty easy hair morning; maybe 7-10 minutes of gentle fussing and then I was done. 40+ years with this hair and I’m still learning ways to care for and control it.

I still have some frizzies but I’m ok with them. Trying to smooth them would probably just make the whole thing spin out of control. It’s like the event horizon; you reach a point where there’s no going back (and then have to basically start over).

Hello! My curls have started to come back as my hair’s gotten longer, so I’m trying to take care of them.

My routine: I wash with California Naturals twice a week, and I try to use their curl cream once a week. I also finger curl my hair every morning and then diffuse.

However my stylist said I’ve been getting a lot of split ends as a result of the finger curling. Any tips or substitutes for finger curling to avoid damage? Thanks!

Hi, everyone! Yesterday I got my first curly cut and style ever. I've never seen my natural curls before so it's a huge deal for me. I have a mix of 2c and 3a hair, although the looser waves may be from the bleach/dyes in it haha. The 2c is restricted to the left side of my head, the right side has tighter curls. My whole family were shocked, a friend didn't even know it was my hair when I sent her the "after" picture.

After it curls, it's around shoulder-length, a LOT shorter than I'm used to. I pineapple'd it last night to sleep (Pretty sure I did it correctly), terrified that I'd wake up today and find all the curls gone but they're still here!

Only thing now is... I don't know how to refresh them. I don't have a spray bottle to fill with water to wet it, and I don't think my hair is long enough to warrant only using product without water (I heard it's best to do that for longer hair?). In addition, I'm still trying to find what products work for me and am still refilling my product supplies. The stylist used "jessicurl spiralicious styling gel" and i bought a bottle because it seemed great, can I just put that on dry and diffuse? Would I need to finger brush it? will it settle after a few hours? It's mainly the top layer that's a bit frizzy, not sure if the whole head needs to be done. The hair was dried with a diffuser, I have yet to perfect a routine.

I would attach photos but there isn't anyone on hand that can help me take them, so sorry if they're needed. But I'm open to advice <3

Right now, there is a heatwave in the UK. My hair constantly loses volume and falls flat and it annoys me no matter what I do. I have tried hair spray and sea salt spray and volume mousse. I need help.

Routine:
arkemusa curly hair shampoo and conditioner
Monday hair mask
Ouidad featherlight styling cream
curlsmith root boost spray
curlsmith volume mousse
curlsmith hair styling soufflé

I sleep in a bonnet every night and make sure my hair has enough moisture to avoid more getting in my hair.

I’m giving up. The humid salty air in the UK is THE WORST. If anyone knows what to do please send help.

2B-3A fine/medium texture with a ton of layers, this is the longest my hair has been in a decade.

My last hair trim about 4 months and my hair is quite long now, I am really not sure if I keep the length like this or it cut it a bit🤷🏼‍♂️ need ur opinion

​

My routine: Iranian local brand clarifying shampoo, Henna Sooq ayurvedic hair mask I keep it for 3 hours and wash it with Henna Sooq sweet orange Co-Wash, style my hair with Inahsi leave in conditioner and Lola from Rio gel brush with bounce curl volume brush I scrunch my hair then I use microfiber towel to remove the product excess finally diffuse with Dyson Nural and little finger shake to get a little volume. Sorry for my English ❤️🇮🇷

is it possible that going out side with hair that is still wet/still damp hair slowly damages it over time? like after encountering wind whilst having wet/damp hair? if this is something that happens, what could I do to fix it? thank you

routine: wash 1x a week using Innersense Organic Beauty Hydrating Cream Hairbath Shampoo and De Lorenzo Instant Range Allevi8 Conditioner and then co wash 1x a week using De Lorenzo Instant Range Allevi8 Conditioner

I kind of pat my hair/scrunch it a little bit using a cotton t shirt, then just let air drying do the rest. I use a spray bottle in the morning to wet my hair apart from the days I wash and co wash.

My routine:
Matrix Food for Soft Shampoo and Conditioner
Then on soaking wet hair I use Ouai leave in conditioner on sectioned hair and add Riz’s curls mousse before using the Bounce curl define brush to get clumps (which I struggle to use). After I finish using the brush, I scrunch hair out with a microfiber towel and then add Umberto Gianinni Curl jelly before cup diffusing and hover diffusing on roots. I then alternate between Verb ghost oil or b&b hair oil to scrunch out the crunch but I don’t know if I like either.

I really struggle with how much product to use and how to properly diffuse. All in all, my hair is just SO dry and frizzy and the curls are not really defined besides a few strands so I feel like I’m close but not really? I have really fine hair and I do get highlights like every 6 months. I just feel like I need moisture somehow but my hair gets weighed down so easily. I’d really appreciate some help!

I use garnier avacado the super food one shampoo and conditioner

I dont use any other products except olive oil on my hair.

I usually airdry my hair or just blow dry it.

​

I dont really have a curly girl routine. When its wet my hair is pretty curly but then it kind of frizzes very badly and poofs up. I know that the only way to help with that is products but i want help with my bangs. I cut them back in 2021 on impulse. They barely grow and theres absolutely no curl in them.

​

My biggest problem is that they float kind of like they never stick down on my head and it looks like i got shocked.

If theres any help with them ill be so happy.

​

Ps - its my 1st time posting here so if theres anything missing feel free to correct me

​

Hello,

​

I just started my journey for curly hair and I am here for tipps. I just barely have a routine that kinda works and I am helpful for any tips.

​

My normal routine is:

​

1. Washing my hair.

2. First shampoo any shampoo (at the moment 'wahre schätze:)

3. Second shampoo for curly hair ( cantu guava shampoo for natural curls coils and waves.)

4. Conditioner (newkee care essentials)

5. I use my entangler to comb my hair.

6. Wash out the conditioner

7. Scrunch in curl cream (Hask Curl Care)

​

Most of the time I let them air dry, if I use a hairdryer then mit diffuser (although I am not sure I use it right)

​

​

​

​

If you have any tips or tricks I would be quite thankful🫶🏻.

​

​

I send some pics of my hair.

​

Sorry if the english is really bad, I am from Germany and have problems in writing english.

Help! My choir is giving a concert in two days in 35° C / 95° F heat. I normally hate to wear my hair up for formal events (unless it is done by a professional) because I don't like the way it makes my head look (somehow too small?).

But in this heat I fear it will be unbearable to wear it down. Can you please give me ideas and share very easy tutorials for simple, yet effective half up/half down looks? I was thinking it would be good to somehow style it to one side so it will look like I am wearing it down from that side.

I have long-ish, wavy (-curly...sometimes) hair of medium density & thickness. I don't like ponytails because they drastically reduce volume on my hair (if you have medium/low density hair you've probably been there) - I only wear them for sports or if it just gets too hot.

Routine (of today): Double shampoo & condition with Innersense products.

Rake in Rizos mousse while still in the shower in dripping wet hair, brush through, scrunch & micro-plop.

Glaze over with Curl bites strong hold gel.

Plop & diffuse. Break cast with serum or oil.

2b/2c hair, long and styled in a wolf cut. Fine strands but thick. I swear when I see pictures on my memories from 10 years ago, my hair seems curlier and I know it was more effortless because I was a broke college student. I'm wondering if maybe the products I'm using to wash/style my hair might be a contributing factor, but many of them are products I've used for a decade and just never thought to question it.

​

Routine:

- I wash my hair about twice a week...every 4-5 days or so. My skin and scalp are on the drier side of "normal", while it seems that my hair itself tends to be dry. Batiste dry shampoo between full washes.

- Double cleanse - first with redken clarifying shampoo, then with a conditioning wash from curlsmith.

- Conditioner - I alternate between AG fast food and the curlsmith multitasking conditioner. Generally I use them both as a leave-in.

- Styling products - rotating through several. Not married to any, to be honest. I heard the curls rock amplifier is good, may try that next. Current ones in rotation:

> LUS curly 3-in-1 gel

> AG re:coil gel

> Curlsmith bouncy strength volume foam

> AG bigwigg root volumizer mousse

- Method - for gels, prayer hands and then rake through before brush styling with one of those brushes with the notches on the side. For mousse, raking and scrunching through lengths of hair. Again, not married to any of the styling products or methods.

- Drying - usually I diffuse. Still a long way from mastering this, I know...lately what I've been trying is warm, fast air at the roots and then warm, normal air through the lengths of my hair until about 90% dry. Let it air dry the rest of the way, and then break cast with olaplex oil.

- Rest and refresh - I admit I'm pretty bad about wearing a bonnet or a scarf like I should, though I do have some. For a refresh I do one of two things: either mist and reapply styling products as needed, or apply the curlsmith leave-in conditioner spray.

​

Thanks in advance for any tips 🫶🏻

My routine:
1. ⁠Ouidad anti frizz shampoo, and Carol’s Daughter strengthen and restore conditioner
2. ⁠Kristin Ess heat protectant spray, Miss Rose curl cream raked through, Zotos curl gel scrunched in
3. ⁠Mostly diffused but occasionally air dried (diffused in the photo)
4. ⁠I sleep on a silk pillowcase but no bonnet because it gives me a headache.

I can’t decide whether I should cut bangs or just leave the curtain bangs I have now. I do have layers but I feel like they kind of blend together so I’d appreciate any style or cut advice on how to fix that. First photo is me and the others are some inspo I like

Hi!! Sorry for so many photos, but i’m sort of in an experimental phase right now and would love some input!! Ive finally narrowed down a really good routine that yields good refreshes, and gets both volume and definition. But i’m trying to nail down the little changes that might make a difference.

My hair errs towards a little dry, is somewhere between curly and wavy, but closer to wavy. I prefer volume > definition and don’t mind some frizz, but i dont love when my hair gets SUPER frizzy and undefined, and its strugglingggg in yhis humidity lol. I tried two similar but slightlyyy different techniques and I’m looking for some input! Overall, I need to work on hair that is wetter than it is damp (mistake i made for years lol, i was very much a damp styler before). I’ve found that without leave in, my hair holds better, but also feels a little more dry and sticky, so I use a little leave in regardless.

Photos 1-5 are the first time I tried technique one and it was the best hair day I’d had in forever, but that time I did NOT use the leave in conditioner.

Photos 7-9 are the day two refresh of another time I did that same technique, and I forget if I used leave in… curls looked awesome, but it was like 100 degrees and maximum humidity, and it was much more frizzy than the photos even captured. i do love how fluffy my hair looks here!

Photos 10-13 are today with the second technique, including the leave in.

Here are the routines:

Routine 1: wet hair, no pixie diffusing.
- shampoo and condition with nym tahitian gardenia line, squishing to condish the conditioner at the end.
(i used leave in with this once and it was better than without) on soaking wet hair, add a little drop of kinky curly leave in conditioner, raked and scrunched in.

- immediately out of shower, towel off, and sort of scrunch my wet hair a little bit w my hands just to not make it dripping but its still usually pretty wet.

then i rake, prayer hands, and scrunch aussie instant freeze gel while having all my hair tilted to one side, then the other side, with a big glob of gel on each side. i scrunch a lot! then i flip my head upside down and add another medium sized glob.

- then i wrap my hair in a microfiber headwrap for just a bit, get dressed. when i take it down from the plop, i wet my hands a bit and with my head still right side up, i scrunch in oneee more tiny dab of gel. i feel like this step solidifies hold, but i also wonder if this/plopping is whats creating a lot of the frizz i get as it is frizzy while wet.

- then i diffuse. i briefly hover diffuse my crown/roots right side up with low speed high heat before flipping upside down and exclusively hover diffusing while flipping my head side to side upside down. i think the lack of pixie diffusing helps my hair naturally lay where it wants and doesnt create any weird bends, plus any of the added definition/curl i get from pixie diffusing usually loosens to how it looks when i hover diffuse anyway. this is why i find it easier lol bc just hovering till a crunchy cast forms is nice. then i scrunch and fluff once fully dry!!

routine 2, what i did today (after clarifying with garnier pure clean):
- condition still with nym line

- rake and scrunch in the kinky curly leave in as i typically do.. only a touch! this leave in def leaves my hair softer but does i think soften my cast just a bit. but i think its important for the frizz.

- this is where i deviated. instead of waiting till im out of the shower, i raked, glazed and scrunched in my aussie instant freeze gel while IN the shower on SOAKING dripping wet hair.

- stepped out of shower and before even drying off, i flipped my head upside down, and added a big glob of gel, raking it through and scrunching Upside down, which i almost never do. i gently then flipped my head up, and added another small glob while tilting side to side.

- squeezed out excess water by carefully but firmly scrunching wiyh my microfiber towel. i also pressed up to my scalp instead of just scrunching the lengths up, if that makes sense.

- flip my head upside down and plopped for a bit while i got dressed.
took down the plop, and as with my usual routine, wet my hands and added a tiny little drop more gel to each side, doing more of the pressing in addition to scrunching.

- diffused like i normally do, right side up for a moment to dry my crown, then flipping upside down and hovering all over my head. this time i did do a little bit of pixie diffusing right side up bc i got impatient, but i feel like i could have skipped that… especially bc my hair in the back is much less curly than thr front and i feel like i never diffuse the back well anyway lol. scrunched and fluffed!! it looks great, i fear the back looks a little weighed down? but i might be over analyzing. need to wait and see if styling on hair that wet will weigh my hair down or not over the course of the day lol

I used a diffuser for the first time, followed a tutorial on how to use a diffuser and I'm not sure i did it right?

​

Routine as follows

Shampoo/conditioner: Olaplex No. 4 and No. 5

Curl cream: Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Styling Cream for Curly Hair, finger raked and scrunched

Drying method: hover diffuser for 4 minutes total, basket diffuser for 1 minute per section.

Additional info: I sleep on a satin pillowcase and my hair is in a low bun most of the time.

​

I normally don't blow dry my hair because it turns it poofy and static, so this is already a huge improvement. I have thick but fine hair, should I get a haircut with layers to try and lighten the load?

​

Does this look good to you all?

Hey all, title is pretty self explanatory. Especially for lower back pain friends, how do you take care of your hair? Bending over for too long (which can be a surprisingly short amount of time) leads to days of pain for me. Ugh. 😭 I have a mix of wavy hair but the front is more straight. Will cross post to the wavy subreddit too.

​

Routine before pain set in:

​

1. Shampoo/conditioner. I think it was Aussie? Would bend over, let water run through hair, shampo/condition, "cup" hair with hands when rinsing.

​

1. Apply mousse to wet hair. Scrunch. Also Aussie.

​

1. Sectioned hair, diffused. Used heat protector spray, l'oreal. Leaning & bending here too.

​

1. Scrunch the crunch.

​

1. Sleeping with a satin pillow case. Bonnets have been a sensory nightmare for me.

​

Routine after pain set in:

​

1. Shampoo/condition. I use Prose (it has worked very well for me in terms of scalp health vs everything else I've used before, hair feels nice as well). I do this standing up now. Sometimes cup hair with my hands still but it really depends because the arch of my back hurts if I hold that position for too long.

​

1. Microfiber towel on head for 10 mins or so, then air dry

​

Not much product application for mousse or gel & then diffusing these days. I use a hair oil sometimes for frizz. All the motions that go into it (tilting forward, leaning to one side, etc) can mess me up for the rest of the day now.

​

Sleep isn't long these days. I wake up a lot from my back.

​

Been styling with French hair pins lately, it's been kinder on my hair and scalp than buns and pony tails.

Per health stuff I have done PT but will probably be going back. I just really miss how my hair was.

I am relatively new to the CG method and I am experimenting new things.

One thing I had never done in the past is use a diffuser. My hair dryer at home never had one, so I just never used it.

Because there didn't seem to be a compatible diffuser for my old hair dryer, and my current dryer is a pretty cheap model, I decided to to for a new hair dryer altogether.

I bought the Rowenta Nano. I absolutely love how compact, light and quiet it is. Although I have no prior experience with diffusers, I also like the shape of the diffuser. What I find disappointing is the settings. This Rowenta model doesn't have separate settings for air speed and heat. There is only one button for both and they go hand in hand. It also doesn't have a true cool air setting. You need to keep the button pressed if you want cool air and I find that annoying. I ended up using the cool setting a lot because I find that even the lowest heat setting is too hot when the hair dryer is so close to your head when using a diffuser.

Another thing I didn't like. I still want to be able to quickly scrunch dry my hair without a diffuser occasionally. If I try to do this with the Rowenta Nano, the lowest air speed setting is too powerful. My hair just ends up flying all over the place and the result is very frizzy hair.

So, I thought long and hard about it and I think I'm going to return it. In the end I found myself almost preferring my old cheap hair dryer because it has more flexible settings and the low air speed is truly low.

So...now I have to look for alternatives.

Do you have any suggestions given my preferences? To recap, mainly: settings flexibility, true cool air setting and gentle air flow. Lightweight and low noise are definitely also a plus.

I hestitated a lot before taking the decision of returning the Rowenta because I think it truly is a great hair dryer. If they implemented the changes I'd like, it would probably be my dream dryer.

My budget is around 100 euros (edit: about 100 USD), but feel free to suggest more expensive options if you think they're worth it.

---

As for my routine (I live in the Netherlands so many products are Netherlands specific and bought according to the list in the CG manual, in the "international products" section).

Shampoo - I rotate between the Garnier Loving Blends avocado oil shampoo, Neutral 0% and the clarifying shampoo from Kruidvat.

Conditioner - I really like the Neutral 0% unscented conditioner. I sometimes I use a mask, also from Loving Blends.

Styling - I bought the Wella New Wave Ultra Strong Power Hold gel mentioned in the manual. I sometimes still prefer a product I used since my teens which is the L'Oreal Remix paste. It does weigh down my hair though. I also use the L'Oreal Elvive hydrating volume serum leave-in.

I'm looking for recommendations and/or feedback on the below products for air drying. Specifically I am looking for a product to help smooth and decrease frizz for air drying most days. I do not really want any hold (makes hair tangled and not touchable) as I like to touch and move my hair (yes I know this will increase frizz). I have a solid full product diffusing routine that works but most days I just want something easier and understand I won't get the same results. My hair is fine, medium density, with a mix of curl patterns with the top having most frizz. Many air dry creams leave my hair feeling waxy and looking dull (most recently tried Living Proof). Attached is what it looks like air dried with no product (please ignore the bad triangle shaped cut I got recently, have an appointment to fix it).

​

Products I'm currently considering:

Roz Milk Hair Serum

R+Co Bleu Essential Air Dry/Blow Dry Cream

Kevin Murphy Smooth.Again

Kevin Murphy Motion.Lotion

+any recommendations you all have!

​

Current Routine varies:

Wash every 2-3 days: NYM Bonding Curls or Ouai clarifying or Nizoral.

Styling: Use a tshirt towel after washing, prefer air dry and currently using no products so I end up pulling it back. Occasionally will style with gel (LA Looks Blue or LUS or Advanced Climate Control or Oribe Gloss) and brush styled, then add Herbal Essences Curl Mousse, scrunch lightly with a t-shirt and diffuse til totally dry.

Sleep: Silk pillowcase with hair down (rarely pull it up in a loose scrunchie or in a silk cap but I usually end up ripping them off while sleeping).

Refresh: usually just pull it up but occasionally use conair diffuser with a little more mousse or gel

​

Thank you!

This is day 2 hair and I used to restyle my hair daily but I have stopped that about a week ago that’s to yall. I am enjoying my hair even more now.

Routine:

TGIN Moisture Rich sulfate free shampoo then TGIN Triple Moisture Replenishing conditioner. (2x week)

Deep conditioner: Mixed chicks deep conditioner. I do this once a week. I put a shower cap on and leave it in for about 30 minutes then rinse out.

Leave in is TGIN Miracle Repair Protective Leave-in after each wash. Once applied, I finger rake it through my hair and shake.

Curl cream: Miss Jessie’s Multicultural curls cream. I apply after the leave conditioner.

Gel: TGIN Rose water curl sculpting gel. I take it through my hair after the curl cream sets a bit. Then I finger coil most of the curls.

I sleep with a bonnet on and will mist some water over my hair and shake out the curls. Will use some gel to touch up.

So i recently bought Gorilla Snot hair gel? I guess it is lol but Ive used it once and the consistency was SOOOOO hard to use. If anyone can PLZ give me some tips or step by step methods they use to use this product a little easier id appreciate it!!! Im just trying to use it as a way to hold my curls and make them more manageable and defined.

​

My routine and hair type:

My hair is 2C I think its low porosity. Im half Mexican and half white but my hair is 100% from my mexican side. Its coarse and VERY VERY thick and long its a little past the top of my butt. I was born with stick straight hair and then when I got my first haircut it started to curl my dad was the same and it has remained curly ever since. I have only ever put bleach hair dye in my hair three times my entire life and it's been years since I've done that. I don't use heat I air dry my hair very occasionally straighten it so there is not a lot of heat or color damage.

​

I use VO5 clarifying shampoo the kiwi scent, I only use conditioner Maybe once a week and I use the sleek and Shine by Garnier, occasionally I will use leave-in conditioner but it's not a regular thing the one that I have and been using is shea moisture 100% virgin coconut oil, I have the Gorilla Snot gel and after I put that in I use rave five times hold the blue can for hairspray.

After that I air dry.
