I’ve attached some photos but I went to bed with my gel cast on and it looked really promising when I scrunched out the crunch! And then progressively through the day it got quite a bit frizzy and it’s like the curl at my roots dropped?

1st photo is with gel cast the next morning

Second photo is immediately after scrunching out the crunch

3/4/5 and at the end of the day

Routine:
First shampoo - either ouai detox shampoo or Umberto Giannini Curl Jelly Wash Curl Defining Shampoo every other wash - last night I used the UG curl jelly wash curl defining shampoo

Second shampoo - Davines Love Curl Shampoo

Conditioner - Davines Love Curl Conditioner

While still in the shower on sopping wet hair
Leave in - CURL MANIFESTO CRÈME DE JOUR ANTI-FRIZZ CREAM FOR CURLY HAIR

Mousse - Umberto Giannini Curl Whip Curl Activating Mousse

Gel - not your mothers curl talk gel

I then diffused, hovered until my roots were dry and then dried the rest

would love some feedback and product recs if you have any!

So I did it guys! I relaxed my hair after 8/9 years of growing it out naturally with no chemicals or relaxer in my hair. Eventually (the other day LOL) I’ve had enough! I cut my hair back in 2018! Stopped relaxing my hair 2017. Fast forward to just this last weekend i decided to relax it. I did this because I would stay getting silk presses that started to not last as long. I do live in Midwest Michigan so yes it’s very humid. That humidity was tearing my hair up! Causing it to revert back to the “natural state.” Which I hated because my curls have no synchronization… As it’s damaged from all the silk presses I’ve gotten between 2018-2026. My hair was beginning to be unmanageable. Like seriously. I was ready to get a pixie cut! My sister talked me out of the pixie and said if you were doing the pixie you’d have to relax it. So relax all your hair and see if you like it. If you don’t like it then cut it. I am so happy I decided to just try the relaxer. Went to a small black owned salon! She got me together. It has been almost a week and my hair still is so fresh like day one. I’ve been sweating, fighting humidity outside and inside! As I work in the restaurant industry so walking through the dish area with those huge dishwashers going, it was fluffing my hair all the way out before clocking out. So frustrating!!! Before anyone asks, yes I typically keep a silk press year round. As I don’t know how to manage my hair, as well as I have sleep disorders! So I’m already too exhausted to do my own hair.

So happy I relaxed my hair! Back on that creamy crack! I highly recommend if you are struggling with your natural hair! My hair is moving beautifully, no stiffness!  No breakage. 

Made a cute little TikTok, and it inspired a lot of women to reconsider & or go do it!

This is the first time I’ve ever let my hair be curly, but I DO NOT KNOW IF ITS CURLY. My hair is severely damaged due to bleach, I’ve been platinum blonde for a year.
This is the first time when I haven’t brushed my hair after letting it dry. I had no routine, just my Moroccan oil shampoo and conditioner and additional scrunch (hair was airdried )
Did your hair look like this too? Or could you help me figure out my curl pattern?

I’m trying to choose between these four Fix My Curls products:

Defining Hair Gel

Curl Quenching Flax Seed Gelly

Curl Quenching Hair Butter

Leave-in Cream

I’m confused about what the actual difference is between them.

Could someone explain:

What does each product do?

Which one is mainly for moisture/hydration?

Which one is best for curl/wave definition?

Which one gives the most hold and frizz control?

Which one is best for dry/frizzy hair?

Which hair type is each one best suited for?

Can they actually help bring out natural waves/curls, or do they mainly define the pattern that is already there?

Can any of these be used together? If so, which combination and in what order?

About my hair:

My hair is dry and frizzy. It’s not straight but also not properly curly — somewhere in between, probably naturally wavy. I want to bring out more of my natural pattern and make it slightly wavy/curly, while reducing dryness and frizz.

Which of these 4 would be the best choice for me? Would I be better off with just one product, or something like a leave-in + gel/gelly?

I’d especially appreciate advice from people who have actually used these products. Thanks!

Products I use:

Shampoo: Loreal hyluron moisture

Conditioner: Loreal hyluron pure

I use Alps rosemary water before applying any product.

Curl cream: Fix my curls Hair Butter and then flaxseed gelly

Although my does get frizzy a lot because of low porosity, suggest some products if y'all can..!! 🤘🏽

Hello. My name is Kaleb, I want to cut my hair in half and comb out the rest, but I’m questioning it, here’s what I look like , can anyone tell me if curls will look good or bad, and is it worth it (yes I have the right hair type)

For the last month I’ve been starting to invest in my curly hair and trying to get more comfortable with my hair. HOWEVER, I keep having trouble with the roots of my hair. Especially in the front, the ends will get defined with my unbrush but my roots will stay puffy and undefined. When styling I use lots of water, mousse and gel, I have also tried just gel but nothing works. Now in the past I have dyed and straightened my hair but it only seems to be like this in the front. If someone can tell me what to do to help with definition I would be open to any recommendations. I have a couple other things to try like a 3 row comb or the tgin protein treatment so I can also try that as well.

Thank you!!
