Thanks Gena ❤ my biggest struggles have been finding shampoos that don’t make my scalp itchy (Aveda Scalp line, AG Renew and Innersense Clarity are all great for my scalp), massive knots and tangles so I need lots of conditioner to detangle but conditioning products weigh my hair down so I’ve stopped using any kind of leave in or cream and that has helped. My underneath layers retain great definition and clumps but the top frizzes and fluffs up so quickly. The top layer of hair is much wavier and doesn’t retain structure as well as the underside. All your advice has helped me to have much more consistent results.

OH MY! Your curls are more gorgeous as the years go on! My biggest challenge is that my gray hairs cause so much frizzy like looking strands that don't curl well. I'm not good at hand curling and my hair doesn't seem to hold the twirl. The curls are thin because my hair is thin on the sides. Aging has hurt my curls which is discouraging especially because I only found out what to do with curly hair 8 years ago. My hair is like yours only a 2/3 on left and 2 on right. I've found my hair does better with Curlsmith and I went crazy buying so many products to try. I do have the products you mentioned so I'm going to review again and do what you say. Thanks for your advice!
