4c low porosity waves

Hello I have low porosity 4c waves. I have a lot of oils, butters, and pomades but I'm doing it wrong because my hair is always dry and doesn't have that much definition unless I cut it. I keep seeing recommendations for conditioners (camille rose, tgin), Does anyone have any product recommendations and tips?

Can we agree 250% density is literally perfect for this style?

After having braids in last week, I randomly started missing big curly hair again lol so I ended up ordering another wig 😭

She arrived over the weekend but I just installed her today and did a half up half down style. This density eats with this hairstyle in my perspective. What do y’all think?

Feel the need to do something different with my hair

I’ve always gotten th standard trim on the top with mid fade and maybe that’s what I look best in ? I’m thinking of growing a bit more out and maybe getting some twists or something. Wha do you guys think ? First pic is my go to haircut and I’ll slowly show you my hair

And tbh I don’t think I’m taking great enough care of my hair but I’ve started this past 2-3 months. My usual daily routine is damp hair out in leave in conditioner and pick hair out.

Please open to any advice. First pic is my go to haircut, second pic is it a bit grown out, third pic is high fade which I don’t like

Last two pics are my current hair

First time with cornrows

Never had braids in the 17 years of my life because I was heavily insecure but idk what made me change my mind. 3 of them MIGHT be a bit crooked but let’s ignore that if it is... The extra hair is there because I plan on getting a lineup tomorrow. If I end up hating the lineup I’ll just never get it again (if I continue getting braids ofc).

So at first I hated it because of my head shape but I don’t care too much anymore. It felt like it was pulling EVERYTHING especially my neck but now it feels normal. I wanted to use a better filter but I don’t have any good ones saved 💔

Advice for my little girl's 4C hair (she's cut a big chunk out).

Hi all

My little girl is eight years old with 4C hair. My wife and I are Caucasian and adopted her when she was two. My wife has been styling it since and doing a great job (she is *significantly* better at it than me) putting in braids, bunches and plaits.

Despite complimenting her and reinforcing that her hair is beautiful she is starting to resent how much work is required and when it is brushed she cries in pain.

My wife was doing her hair this morning and realised that at some point she has taken scissors into her room and cut about half an inch off across her fringe as it was "sticking out".

My first question is, is there advice on what to do for now. She is devastated now she realises what shes done and short of putting clips across her forward we're struggling to think of ideas.

Secondly, we've all watched lots of videos reinforcing her type of hair and watched very helpful channels but we do still struggling taking knots out without it hurting her.

She's also resistant to going to a salon but after this we're just trying to explain that a professional with her type of hair will be able to help us.

Bit of a ramble but its been an emotional evening!

Thank you!
