curly hair care.
my favorite hair products:
this is my absolute favorite, by far
mango butter by elasta QP
pantene conditioner liso y sedoso
(just the oil therapy shine booster)
these are my favorite hair products.
if i want my hair to be its absolute curliest, i condition my hair in the shower and comb through it, let it sit a few minutes then rinse it out. then when i get out the shower, put a coat of leave-in conditioner on and let it dry. that is where the poodle like-curls come from. i generally don't like that look, especially as my hair grows longer.
my hair, when loose, generally looks a little wavier. to do that, i just regularly condition my hair in the shower, don't comb or brush through it, rinse it out, let my hair dry enough so that it's only a little damp, and then put on a small amount of leave-in conditioner.
when i want my hair to be really big and fro-y, i cornrow it overnight and take it out in the morning...the more braids i have, the bigger the hair. the less braids, the more defined the kinks are.
if i want really loose waves (which is never) condition, comb thru curls, put on a lot of leave-in-conditioner, brush my hair into a tight ponytail, put my hair into one braid, let it air dry. with a scarf over my head overnight, and then when i wake up my hair is usually dry and hangs longer.
since i dyed my hair, my hair is SUPER dry. so i almost never use shampoo. i shampoo my hair about once a month, or less. i use conditioner a few times a week, but i wet my hair almost everyday and put on some leave-in conditioner.
