    I'm so glad that you posted this! As a fine-haired wavy girly I struggle SO MUCH with getting definition and not weighing my hair down with product. I am in absolute awe that you are able to get a wash day to last 2-3 days.

      I feel you!! These products would probably work really for you bc they’re pretty light and don’t weigh hair down. Just don’t use too much and experiment with only using 1 or 2 together! Something like the The curl smith styling soufflé could also work well for finer hair 😊

    Your frizzy hair is so pretty. I actually love frizzy hair because of all the volume it gives. A lot of people think that frizzy hair looks damaged and unhealthy but I disagree with that. Many people cannot afford all those curly girl products and a diffuser because it's expensive and people didn't have those products many many years ago. They just used to oil and wash their hair and had beautiful long, thick and healthy hair. I just embrace my natural frizz lol.

    Idk fs rn if my hair is straight or a bit wavy, it depends on how it dries(air drying makes it wavier & using a hair dryer js makes it straight w a few streaks of hair being wavy), as i got older my hair got shorter & wavier. Im just glad there are people who are able to help others recognize their natural hair type which they didn't know of before and now they know how to care for their hair properly & embrace the natural hair(if they want to)

    • @st8ofgray
      @st8ofgray 6 місяців тому +5

      A hair drier (w out diffuser) will always make your hair dry straighter bc it forces the wave/curl to drop out, so your hair is likely wavy and just needs a bit of help

Some parts are still straight and some parts are wavy and frizzy. My hairs not curly enough to using wavy hair products but not straight either so i'm left with patchy-wavy frizzy hair!!!

      You could try brushing your conditioner into your hair while in the shower (use a Wet Brush or something safe for soaking wet hair). It makes your hair really smooth and tangle free that way you don't have to brush and break up your curls. Also I would try a leave in conditioner after you get out of the shower

It feels soft and doesn't look super frizzy. I'm trying different 1-2 product routines with what I already have to try and find gold.

    I was wondering; how does the jelly feel in your hair? I hate the feeling of products in my hair so I'm basically asking if it feels more natural still or if you definitely can feel there's product. I will accept my fate if so and maybe just buy some to use for special occasions, when I think I can handle it for a day/evening and I want the curls to stay defined for longer.
    My hair looks to be very similar to yours by the way so I feel like I found the right video/person for advice 🤗
    I struggle with finding time and energy to wash my hair with conditioner and hair masks so my hair is probably a bit too dry. I use oil for the tips and mids of my hair as often as I remember at least. Will definitely invest in a leave-in conditioner at the very least!

    Guys ok so I have lived my whole life thinking I had straight hair but every time I sleep I wake up and it’s flipping out at the ends and I always have to flat iron it in the morning to make it look good. I saw other girls who didn’t know they had curly or wavy hair and I was like ??? So I just hopped in the shower, conditioned my hair, scrunched RELENTLESSLY for like 45 minutes, and then plopped (?) my hair and it’s like, ever so slightly wavy?! Like it’s not extremely obvious, but it’s definitely not pin straight. Maybe my waves (if I have any) have been damaged by how much I flat iron it? Idk I’m gonna try some product in it tomorrow and see what it does. Tbh it looks somewhere in the 1c range rn but maybe the products will define it better. Has anyone else had an experience like mine?

    So I have her wave pattern, that level of wave. HOWEVER not all over my entire head. Some areas are straighter than others, so it never comes out even. It is easier to just blow dry all of my hair straight and flat iron the more stubborn wavier sections
    If all of my hair has the same wave pattern, I would do this (her) routine more often because it’s so pretty

      @@aprilcherrybomb soaking wet hair is ideal. I squeeze some water out in the shower, put my robe on and start styling immediately. This gives me better curl clumps and tighter waves.

      You can apply just a few quantity of the product (leave-in, conditioner...) when your hair is really wet, like when you just got out of the shower. Then let it dry naturally or with a diffuser/Dryer. It always works to me. (My hair is a 2c/3a)

      hey!! we can lose up to 250+ strands daily, and a lot of those strands are loose, so when a lot of hair is coming out it can look like you’re losing a lot of hair but really the hair was ready to shed anyways, so it just comes out easier. Just try your best to make sure you manage stress well and eat well to help keep your hair healthy! hair length can also make you think you’re losing a ton of hair too, so if you have longer hair know that it may just look like you’re losing more when you’re actually not.
