> They also told me that my hair should actually be curly.

What was their logic behind this statement? It seems that their statement launched you on a journey to get your hair to form curls at any cost. Were they able to apply products to your hair to style it in the curls that you should have?

Regarding your query, if you're trying to enhance curls, your biggest focus should be on styling products. The function of shampoos and conditioners are to cleanse and add back the moisture lost from cleansing, respectively. I actually use Tresemme shampoo/conditioner religiously because they get the job done, at such a low cost. I'm less loyal to styling products because I've figured out that once I use the conditioner as a leave-in, I get well defined curls regardless of which curling cream I use. Note that my hair is somewhere between a 3b and a 3c pattern.

My hands down favourite for curl definition is Kinky Curly Curling Custard. It has to be used in combination with the Kinky-Curly Knot Today Leave In Conditioner/Detangler. The draw back is the price. I do not recommend their shampoo, it strips way too much from the hair and left mine dry and crunchy. If you're interested in testing out Kinky Curly's Curling Custard, it's important to apply the way its recommended for best results:

  1. Apply the leave-in while the hair is still soaking wet
  2. Section off hair. This is veryyy important.
  3. Apply the gel to one small section at a time. I find that I get perfect definition if I use my fingers to twirl the hair in a curling motion.
  4. Once the entire head is complete, allow to air dry. And DO NOT TOUCH IT! You want to minimize handling throughout this process.
  5. See the Kinky Curly demo for more info.

    Other tips for bringing out curls

    - scrunching: check any video on youtube

    - upside down shake: this is my go to every single morning before work. I wet my hair, apply my "leave-in" (Tressemme conditioner), apply whatever curl cream I have on hand, use my hands to make sure it's spread evenly and detangle the hair as I go along (I don't own combs, just a Denman brush I use every now and then). Then flip my head over and shake vigorously for about a minute. And I'm out the door. Drying it while upside down in front of the fan gives me better definition. I think that's because it dries faster so there's fewer flyaways (aka frizz).

I have straight, slippery hair and wear my hair in a bun a lot. I use those spiral bobby pins (which changed my life) and I'll rub a few drops of jojoba oil in, to tame the flyaways. Sometimes I'll braid it first, sometimes I just twist it.

​

Jojobal oil in general is the BEST leave in conditioner I've ever used. It does require washing out, so you have to plan it into your routine. It makes my hair so silky. And it's relatively inexpensive!

Nizoral shampoo has been a blessing. Would highly recommend.

If you don't have them already I highly recommend the phone cord hairbands

Or any other brand really. They're softer on the scalp and they don't pull hair at all. The pony stays up while I climb and weightlift.

It's the ACV bar from Wildland Botanicals. Started using it and haven't stopped. Lots of volume and no longer need conditioner.
