Far from perfect but I love it!! Kit purchased from hobby lobby for $4. Gonna let the hoop imprint iron itself out, then I’ll frame it :) Cheers to chaotic backs ✌️😌

Hi everyone!! Like many of us, I thought I just had straight hair that had a lil fun to it. Lo and behold after looking at some subs, I think I got some wavy hair!!

Pictures:
Pic 1: just shampoo, conditioner, air dry, brush
Pic 2: out of the shower doing new swavy hair routine (details below)
Pic 3: swavy routine but instead of gel, I used NYM curl crème
Pic 4: fully dried swavy hair routine

I’d define my hair as low porosity, fine/medium texture, medium density, leaning towards 2b (?)

My current routine:

In shower
- shampoo: Being wavy shampoo / purple shampoo / L’Oréal dream lengths
- conditioner: being wavy conditioner / raw sugar deep hydration hair mask

Out of shower while hair is dripping wet
- L’Oréal boost it volume mousse
- NYM Curl Talk gel (clear, hold 3)
- micro-plop with microfiber tower
- diffuse using the hammock method & pixie diffusing

I can’t tell if my hair is being weighed down my products, if my hair needs to adjust to my new routine, or if I’m just over thinking. I think because my hair is finer, I gets tangled near the roots and makes it hard to not try and detangle it even after brushing with conditioner in the shower so it is tangle-free. Do my waves go to my root or am I crazy?

I would love any advice y’all are willing to give! I love my hair and just want to have it the best it can be :,)
I couldn’t have done it without this subs help, so thank you for all who contribute!!!!
