I’m pretty happy with my curl routine and love how things have been looking lately, however, no matter what I do, my bottom curls are not as tight and formed as the curls on the top of my head. It seems like as soon as it gets to my ear that under layer is loose, delicate and hardly formed. I twirl my hair in my fingers for anxiety/self soothing constantly, so as soon as I touch the bottom layer it’s ruined since it’s so soft and loose. My hair is pretty heavy and dense, so definitely a possibility of them forming less could just be because those strands are longer than my others. I use a curl cream, gel and oil in my hair before diffusing. Shampoo once a week, conditioner 3x a week. Clarifying shampoo 1x a month.
