The Struggle was worth it
Started growing my hair out during the pandemic. I unfortunately lost a lot of it when I bleached it in like 2022 due to lots of breakage. But here we are! So close to my desired length!!!
For my hair care routine I sometimes switch products so I’ll list the most used things.
Shampoo: Pattern, Head and Shoulders.
Conditioner: Pattern 3a-4a hydration and slip, Tresemme Rich Moisture
Camille Rose: guava slip detangler (usually just mix this with pattern or I use this before pattern to detangle then condition)
After Shower:
- Camille rose curl love moisture milk (this is my mainstay!!! Camille has a residency on my strands). I divide my hair in half then slowly and gently slide my hands on either side down my strands with the product. I try not to rub or do anything that’ll disrupt the curl.
- followed by just a dollop of PATTERN LEAVE IN CONDITIONER for each section of my hair (at this point I usually split into four sections) for the smell and it helps lock in the moisture.
Honorable mention to Gryph and Ivy Rose herbal conditioner. I can only find it online so I don’t use it as often but it was a game changer for conditioners when I first used it.
Ps. I feel like I could still use some help on getting better definition in the curls. I feel like I condition and moisturize well enough but maybe I’m doing something wrong so any help would be great! I don’t use a diffuser. I usually just air dry which can change my frizz level depending on what the weather is giving.
