Looking to improve routine/get better results
Hello! I’m newer to wearing my hair naturally, did it about 10 years ago with not great success and am trying again and feeling a little better about it but would like to see more consistent curl/wave, a little less frizz and better hold. These pics are from immediately after wash day and styling.
Current routine is:
Wash once a week, busy mom lol
Shampoo with Nizoral - this is a must for me as I have scalp issues if I don’t.
Conditioner with Kristen Ess softening conditioner - squish to condish method.
Wet brush in the shower
NYM leave in spray
Wet brush again
NYM Mousse with lots of additional water - about a softball amount in layers
Microfiber towel mostly followed by some diffusing upside down, part hair then finalize with diffuser.
Other things to note: I have low porosity, fine 2bish hair. We have insanely hard water and we rent our home, so not a lot of fixes there unless there’s recs that people have for that. And I wear my hair in a top pony to sleep, but am getting a pure silk sleep cap in the mail soon because I end up with a lot of knotting at the base of my scalp so I’m hoping that will help and maintain my curl better. Anything you’d change/add to achieve longer lasting and consistent curls with a little less frizz(I know some is normal)?? Thank you!!
