Is this the right product for my hair ??
Hey guys, I just want to ask if this is normal or if it’s just my products—should I switch them? I have a mix of 3A and 3B curl patterns. For my routine, I’ve been using the Garnier Hair Food mask as a leave-in conditioner, styling it with a brush, and then applying gel on top. I don’t use a specific gel for curly hair ( the one in the photo below).
My hair is super smooth and freshly hydrated when I use the conditioner, but as soon as I apply the gel, it feels dry. After I diffuse it, it looks all good, but by Day 2, the 3B pattern at the back of my head starts to frizz—and it’s not a normal frizz, it looks unhealthy.
I also wanted to ask: what is the purpose of hair mousse, and should I buy one for my hair type?
If you have any gel or mousse suggestions, please let me know! Also, do I need to use a proper curl cream instead of the Garnier mask? I used to use Skala and changed it for some reason, but I’m willing to buy it again. The last time I styled my hair, I used flaxseed gel; it worked very well and gave me zero frizz at first, but by Day 3, it just didn't hold my curls at all.
Note: Please only suggest European or locally available brands since I don't have access to American products.
Thanks!
