I have very heavy, very coarse, wavy-curly hair (2c-3a). Once I rinse out my conditioner, I absolutely cannot pull my curls in any way or else they stretch out too much and frizz up. I know "just scrunching" in product is supposed to be "bad" now, but it's literally the only thing that works for me. I can't use praying hands, raking, or finger coiling. Instead I kind of pat the product all over my head, and scrunch away. Do's and don'ts of curly hair are helpful, don't get me wrong, but I really think it's all about finding what works best for YOU. If you're trying a method that is supposed to be a "do" and it's not working or you don't like the result, do it how you think looks best! As long as you're taking care of your hair's health, you do you boo boo!

Mell, I know this sounds crazy, but I like my soaking wet. When I hear the squish sound I know the leave-in is in the hair. I add the gel then squish my hair let it air dry I live in south Florida and its freaking hot so I take advantage of the heat. By the time I get to work by 10 am my hair is completely dry. I get great curls and this method works for me.

You should use daily shampoos (like Not Your Mother’s and Shesmoisture products) 𝐎𝐫 co-washing (just using conditioner) but, i’m not sure if you HAVE to actually wash it with shampoo. if you don’t have to, then i rlly recommend co-washing😊 i have to wash daily because of my oily hair, so it’s difficult for me to not wash it😅

I like the more fluffy part with volume, I think volume is more sexy. The right side looks good too but looks more wet as if it was just with a lot of styling oil. Also pretty but more romantic/ normal and less sexy. I think all girls who want less friz and less volume more defined curls over time even without using anything they should use organic mic of oils more often and do oil masks like Italian girls do. just buy oils on amazon peach kernel sweet almon argan and jojoba oil and mix them in a big bottle and add (rose dracena oil for smell or maybe organic vanilla oil for smell- add only few drops to the base oils because these are much potent should not be used alone on skin or hair. Put the oil mix after shower on moist hair they will absorb over time just don’t put too much unless before bed as a pre morning wash mask .. And collagen and keratin masks could be nice as well...
