Swavy hair? 1c? Frizz/general advice
Hi! I've recently started trying out a routine better suited for swavy hair. I used to use quite heavy moisture shampoos/conditioners to help deal with frizz. I think I might have 1c hair and my hair is quite thick.

Currently I'm using:
- Umberto Giannini Starter Kit
- Conditioner with wide tooth comb, no other brushing
- Gel prayer hands and scrunching
- Micro fiber towel turban for an hour
- Heat protectant spray
- Diffuse up to 80%ish dry and then air dry
- Loose scrunchie bun when sleeping
I did try using mousse first and incorporating it last wash, but I found the waves fell out after a day or two.
The waves seem quite random at the moment, lose definition over time, and come with a fair bit of frizz. I'm struggling with hair getting knotted and have been finger combing big knots between washes.
I'm looking for some advice on where I should go next for the above.
Sorry if some of that didn't make sense, I am a newbie to haircare in general! (Have always been using heat protectant though)
Thanks for reading!
