help me get my wavy hair texture back! crossposted to r/haircare
in 2021 i felt like i was making great progress with my wavy hair. first 2 pictures are from them and i was super happy with the texture. i’m a fairly low maintenance person and only used either herbal essences mousse or nym curl cream, and only sometimes diffused. always plop and sleep with my hair in a high bun. these days i haven’t been doing much with my hair because whenever i try (usually the same methods and products as before but i’ve tried many others!) i don’t get the same results. third picture is my hair on a regular day when i haven’t done anything to it. fourth picture is my hair when i actually tried, products and diffuser. what happened!
i just started using verb moisturizing shampoo and i use dove repair conditioner and only wash every 3-5 days. i use a shitty suave shampoo to get rid of buildup every couple months. i don’t feel like my hair is especially dry or especially greasy, and it’s very healthy besides some split ends. completely virgin also and i barely use heat. any tips? especially for super low maintenance girls who don’t wanna do a lot of work? lol.
