(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best hair styling treatments

Routine: nothing speacial really it varies wash days once maybe twice a week depending on how unruly it gets,
deep condition before hand for about 5 minutes with some heat

shampoo/conditioner: Shea Moisture varies between products
towel dry with a microfiber towel towel not the one i bought but very similar
sometimes ill leave it at that as the picture is viewed
other times if i feel like putting the work in/ ill use Marc Anthony Curl lotion and Shea Moisture Mist after i towel dry my hair and leave it damp.
not much to it i know i can be a bit kinder to it and a bit better but with my schedule i often dont have the time. If it starts to get unruly like such ill often dampen it with a water/conditioner mist spray and add a little bit of product to it to "freshen it up a bit'

I found that the same level of steps - "oil" cleanser (conditioner-only cleansing, I don't use shampoo), "moisturizer" (leave-in conditioner, this one is my favorite), and everyday "serum" to keep the from drying out really helped me.

Along the same veins, I use an old tshirt to gently squeeze out the excess water in my hair and to seal in the "mask" - apply leave-in conditioner, wrap hair gently in shirt and leave for 5-10 mins - changed everything for me, since I was not only applying a moisturizer but also giving it time to sink into my hair and scalp. The tshirt helped a ton too because without the little "threads" of a standard towel, my hair was no longer tangling nearly as much as it used to.

For the leave-in conditioner, I only use it on days I wash my hair, but for all other days I use an argan oil serum for my ends as needed, roughly ~1x/daily for maintenance. I used to wash my hair every other day, but now I wash it 2-3x/week, and even my "oily" days aren't nearly as bad as they used to be.

I found doing this not only applied a similar logic as caring for your skin, but it changed the texture of my hair completely. I used to have an oily as hell scalp and brittle as fuck ends, and I guess switching to conditioning only "informed" my head that it's now getting more moisture, and there's no need to overproduce oil. Obviously YMMV, but hopefully this will give you a decent starting point :)

Hair Crack is the BEST. I use a pea-sized amount throughout my hair. It dries faster, it makes it shiny, and it doesn't weigh it down. AND NO FLYAWAYS. Seriously, it's a lazy girl's dream!

/u/Nam-Ereh-Won be a dick.

I'm gonna go with spray-on hair

This post about squisable beer cups made me laugh, too.

Dry Shampoo, you're welcome.

I get mine at the drug store, but you can also get it here: three bottles.

Okay I know we're in the skincare sub, but can you give me some advice about the CG method? Yesterday was day 2 for me of using the new products, and I tried a diffuser for the first time. I was super duper happy with how my curls turned out, but by the time I was ready for bed they had all "fallen out" and it wasn't even worth pineappling. Do I just need something stronger for hold, or need to be more patient? I used this for hold. I know a lot of curlies use gel but I'm really worried about having that wet, crunchy curl look because I really hate that.

I can't do the 'up' thing...tried it, slept like shit. Hair didnt look any better or worse so I'm convinced this technique is for those who can sleep w/o moving. My curls last 3-4 days...they're frizzy but meh. That's what ponytails and moisture spray spray are for!

Newbie here! I need some advice on repairing Damaged hair.

My hair type is naturally a 3A, but I've damaged it due to bad dye jobs and not properly taking car of it, so now parts of it look like 2A, others like 2C. Just overall horrible damage, but it looks okay if I use a diffuser and blow dry it.

I found this sub a couple days ago and got the following products after watching a lot of tutorials here and reading the product list to begin my curl repair/curl maintenance journey:

A Satin Pillowcase

Evo Liquid Rollers Curl Balm

Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus Hold & Shine Mist

Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo and Conditioner Set W/silk Protein and Neem Oil

*SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Reparative Leave-In Conditioner

I also have this heat protectant spray I use when diffusing my hair by CHI.

I wash my hair with sulfate-free shampoo about once or twice a week, but I condition my hair every morning so that it's wet and I can style it. I currently do a lazy-girl version of what I've seen people describe here: I flip my hair over my head, put product in my wet hair, use a cotton t-shirt to scrunch/dry a little bit, then I diffuse.

So, my question is, do you guys have any other suggestions for repairing hair? Anything I could add/change about this routine?

Thank you!!!
