What do people like for co wash?

I have low porosity long thick 2C/3A hair and it’s a pain to do a full wash and washing it too often dries right out so I’m a co wash fan. I did use the Noughty one but it seems to have been discontinued. Umberto Gianini curly conditioner as a co wash really weighs my hair down.
Any recommendations or experiences would be welcome!

Help with crazy itchy scalp

I have thick curly hair, 2c/3a, and no matter what I do my scalp is crazy itchy since I've committed to a curly hair routine. Whether I use a clarifying shampoo or a cowash doesn't seem to help. All I use on my hair post-wash is gel and a foam and a small amount of leave-in on my ends. Please help! My curls look fine but this is driving me mad.

Helping a 13y/o with curls

I have a nearly 13y/o niece who have fine hair that has gotten more curly as she's gotten older. I would say its a mix of 2c to 3b. Her hair could be styled better but she wants to do it herself and won't take her mams advice or let her mam help or show her. It's often greasy and frizzy, but there is a lot of potential.

With christmas coming up, I thought I could get her a hair care set for curly hair. Would anyone recommend this set? Or have an alternative that is at an affordable price?

How to manage my long baby hairs?

Hello,

I have type 3b/3c curls, but I noticed recently, to my horror, that I have quite a big section of long baby hairs at the nape of my neck. I am wondering if this was caused by an undercut I had done 10+ years ago, but either way, it is about 1-2 inches in height and goes all along my hairline, and then my hair starts growing properly just above it.

Whilst I love my curls, I find them hard to style every day, partly due to never being taught as a child, and so I am trying to learn and build it into my routine now as an adult. However, at present, I still wear my hair up 90% of the time, usually in a bun.

Due to these baby hairs being at the back of my head, I only recently found out they are even there as I saw the back of my head in a picture. I am NGL, I was devastated and sobbed for a while over it. Now I know it is there, it is really starting to impact my self esteem. The hairs are much longer than your usual baby hair, but they are too long to tie up with the rest of my hair too.

Does anyone have any advice for managing this? Any styling tips would be especially helpful? Should I try to just slick them up, or is there other techniques? I am wondering if I could possibly use Kirby grips to pin them down a bit too and try and it all to look a bit more presentable.

It is all really starting to get me down, especially as PCOS/PMOS is causing all sorts of other issues for me, and I just feel like the ugliest most disgusting thing on the planet most days.

would like advice on products!

Hello! Im 18F, (I think i have wavy to curly hair) and until about 17, I used to brush and straighten my hair on a weekly basis. A few weeks before turning 18 I began to wear my hair natural, and allow it to naturally air dry and began to use things like oils and frizz tamers. I've tried jelly casts but I don't like how dry/rough they feel (i cant remember the brand but I know it was a pink tube). My hair tends to dry curly towards the front, wavy around the middle of my head and some parts are more straight then wavy under the rest of my hair.

I went to get my hair cut (I have bleached and coloured hair!) and the stylist said my hair was on the dryer side. I want to get my hair as healthy as it can be, and was wondering what products (if any) people recommend?

My current routine involves: x2 shampoo with Aussie curls / Aussie deep moisture (I switch between them) 3 - 5 minute soak of the conditioner (same conditioner as to whatever im using at the time, if I use deep moisture ill use the DM conditioner, or for the curl shampoo ill use the curl conditioner) I squeeze the length of my hair with a towel, brush my hair whilst its wet, stroke hair food/oil into my lengths, and use the scrunch method to help define curls normal tap water in the morning to get rid of any frizz from overnight shower again on the 3rd day (e.g shower Mon, miss Tue, shower Wed).

If anyone has any products, brands, methods or tips, id love to hear!! thank you💖🙏

Toddler with 2c curls

My 3 year old has 2c curls/waves but she has very fine hair. A lot of products I’ve tried has been too heavy/greasy for her fine hair.
Her hair gets very frizzy throughout the day. In the morning I use water and cantu wave whip mouse to put her hair up but by the time she comes back out of nursery she has a crazy head of hair. As her hair dries it develops a life of its own
I would love recommendations of products and hair styles to try to tame her frizz.
Ideally I would love to put her hair up every day as she’s around so many other toddlers.
