Use a moisturizing shampoo Use hydrating conditioner Leave in conditioner Use Multiple Styling Products (ex. strong hold gel, cream) Sectioning your hair while layering these products Focus gel on problem areas, finger coiling Hover-diffuse, use a pick/comb for volume Dry your hair 100% Finish off with a serum

I am almost ready quit it all but I do enjoy your videos so thank you for what you do! 🙏🏻💇🏼‍♀️

[@demonicastar]

Hey there fellow curly 😉. I don't know if this will help but if your hair is dry you could get away with washing it once or twice a week and I personally am only using 2 drugstore products for styling one is a thick cream leave in because my hair is thick and corse and a spray in gel and I follow Mells diffusing tips and my hair stays frizz free all day even though I live on a tropical island with high humidity so I don't feel my styling routine is too long. Sometimes just doing the basics can work out in your favor oh and a good bonnet for sleeping in.

[@snowflakes215]

@@demonicastar thank you for the positive words! My hair is fine and low density so I can’t use “heavy” products and I have to frequently wash bc my kids play baseball almost literally everyday. I can’t not wash my hair most days in the summer and not feel gross. I am still trying to accept my hair …thank you again!

[@demonicastar]

@@snowflakes215 you have an advantage because of your hair type , it dries way quicker than mine 😀 I assume a spray leave in would be suitable because it's a lot lighter and many drugstore brands are good without a hefty price, I used to work in a salon and would use the salon products on my clients but I wouldn't purchase them for myself lol I was to broke.

I love your vids on glycerin, thank you so much! Can you do a vid with a product developer on the formulation of products and ingredient choice because I often see so many curly hair products that have glycerin in the first five list and sincerely don’t understand why they include it and still state the product is an anti humectant. Like Aveda’s anti-humectant cream. I hunted it down and bought it, but being that it has glycerin in it it was useless in the NY high humidity weather. Almost $30 wasted. I just don’t understand it. Feels like it’s a ploy to market to those with humidity concerns. I have naturally soft fine very curly hair and my goal is to combat shrinkage caused by too much moisture. Not so much frizz, but after stretching my hair to go out and lose 3 inches after 10 min is so very irritating
