Need some advice! New to styling my natural waves/curls 😊
Hi everyone!
I've always thought I just had frizzy, slightly wavy hair (around 1C–2A), so I finally decided to try a proper wavy/curly routine. These photos are from my second time using the Moxie Curl Cream + Flexi Styling Serum Gel, and I'm honestly surprised by how much definition I got!
This is the wash day hair fully dried.
I'm still trying to figure out my hair pattern. Would you consider this 2B, 2C, or something else?
A little about my hair:
Low porosity
Coarse strands
Medium to low density (not super thick)
Blunt cut with grown-out curtain bangs
These results are 100% air-dried—I prefer not to use heat or diffuse.
One thing I noticed is:
My first styling attempt had less frizz but much less volume.
This second attempt has way better volume (which I love!), but it's also much frizzier.
My biggest goal is to keep this volume while reducing the frizz as much as possible.
Since my hair isn't very dense, I'm hesitant to get layers because I'm worried they'll make it look thinner. Has anyone with similar hair found a good balance?
I'd really appreciate any advice on:
What hair pattern do you think I have?
How can I reduce frizz without losing volume?
Any product or styling tips for low-porosity, coarse hair?
Thanks! ❤️
