Have you ever tried not washing out your regular conditioner all the way? It's something r/curlygirl taught me and honestly game changing. You don't actually need to have curly hair to follow the curly girl method! My hair is wavy but using the different methods it taught me gives me bouncy, full curls without any heat and helping my formely bleached length heal.

Also, what are you using for shampoo and conditioner? The basis for CG is avoiding sulfates because it's harsh on your hair and dries it out, and also avoiding silicones because they coat your hair and prevent any other products from actually penetrating to do anything helpful.

My favorite leave-ins are Kinky Curly Knot Today (contains mallow which gives your hair amazing slip and sleekness,) Curls Co. Blueberry Bliss Leave in, As I Am leave in, but most of all, I love using a little bit of traditionally "wash out" conditioner since it's cheaper, convenient, & basically the same product anyway: Tressame Botanique Nurish & Replenish Conditioner with Coconut Milk & Aloe Vera, Garnier Fructis Smoothing Treat 1 Minute Hair Mask + Avocado Extract, (surprisingly they actually mention using it as a leave in on the label) & Sally's Beauty GVP Conditioning Balm (dupe for Matrix)

Kinky curly knot today is great for me. In very dry weather, I'll use regular conditioner, but this is my favorite most of the time. https://www.amazon.com/Kinky-Curly-Knot-Today-Conditioner-Detangler/dp/B00128WK4I/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1494388438&sr=8-1&keywords=Kinky+curly+knot+today

Well...I don't really know. My hair just does that on its own most of the time. I have to put an effort in to get it to stop doing that.

>Herbal Essences Totally Twisted gel

Use products for curly hair. Herbal Essences, Dove and other mainstream beauty products that market to "curly" hair are actually made for very wavy or loosely coiled hair.

Your hair loss may be from using horrible products on your hair. I know if you're using Herbal Essences, you are probably also sleeping with a cotton pillowcase, so that could be a reason also.

After you wash it, you should put in a leave in conditioner, followed by an oil and then a gel or a cream.

This my favorite detangler/conditoner if you need a product recommendation. To grow you hair back you could try a shampoo and conditioner with argan oil or black castor oil. Mane and Tail also makes a hair growth line.

Alopecia Free With Jass is a youtube channel that also might help you deal with alopecia. You could also try taking biotin.

> 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).
u/tittermilk · 2 pointsr/dogs

I use The Stuff detangling spray. It really helps. Bizarre word of warning though, don't spray it over a wood or tile floor. Any spray that doesn't land on your dog will land on the floor and make it very slippery! I only spray it over carpet or rugs.

I also use Kinky Curly Knot Today as a leave-in conditioner on problem areas like the arm pits. It's a product for humans but it works on dogs as well. I've also rubbed a bit of this into a mat and then combed it out.

u/VerseForYou · 2 pointsr/curlyhair

I use this stuff:

Conditioner 1

gel


conditioner 2


It frizzes out all the time, but such is life in the south. I don't rinse anything out. I don't use a lot of the gel. I'll update again when I go full simba.

u/curlyhairy · 2 pointsr/curlyhair

Hi, fellow curlies! Long time lurker, but I created a separate account to show off my 3a/3b work in progress! I’ve divided this up into sections because it’s definitely of TL;DR length, so skip right to the routine part if that’s what you’re after.


HAIR STATS

Mostly very strong 3a, but there’s a good chunk of something approaching 3b at the crown.

Really thick, I can’t use small hair clips or ties, even with it being shorter. It feels like it’s become a tad less thick, maybe due to age (I’m in my 30s).

Last cut in March (8 months ago), it’s a shorter curly cut that’s growing out but still looks decent.

Highlights and color applied at last cut. The highlights were subtle, the color was close to my natural hair color to help cover the whites coming in.

No flat iron/high heat for the last 4+ years. Most heat I’ve used is a dryer on low with bursts of cold air.

No “bad” products for the last 4+ years. It’s only been curly approved products with no traditional shampoo! Only No Poo with the occasional clarifying shampoo.

Very dry climate. So dry here I have a sinus moisturizing gel I shove up my nose before bed to avoid nosebleeds. I know most curlies hate the humidity but I wish I had a little bit, I think my hair would benefit.

Hair washed once weekly, twice weekly at most. More often during the week if I’m exercising (which I haven’t done much of lately, hah), but coarse/dryer hair + very dry climate = fewer washings. I do a lazy pineapple to pin it up when I do quick body-only showers.


HAIR HISTORY

It’s a story that’s all too familiar here: My hair was NOT cool as a kid— the 90s were not nice to big hair, and I was also one of the only “ethnic” people in super white schools. When in its natural state, it was almost nothing but fuzz and it almost looked like I had an afro. Stylists had no clue what to do with my hair, so the cuts never helped. Of course, I hated it, and I spent my teens and early 20s straightening it, tying it back, or clipping it into this nasty rat’s nest on the top of my head to get it off my face.

I first heard about the curly method in 2009 or 2010. Even though that wasn’t THAT long ago, the spectrum of products we have available now versus then is night and day. With my limited hair understanding, I took the plunge and went natural, but it didn’t look so great. I stuck with it, though, mostly out of laziness because life got really busy and stressful. Straightening my hair literally takes hours, so laziness won. Used to use DevaCurl No Poo and One Condition in the shower before crunching in the DevaCurl Light Defining Gel. Never experimented with other stuff because, again, I was lazy and busy.

Recently, my hair was going limp and was feeling greasy no matter what I did, so I started reading through the links in this subreddit and experimenting with newer products now that my life has slowed down. I bought a few new products based on recommendations here, and what I outline below is after playing around with a few different things for the last couple of months.


NEW "ROUTINE"

“Routine” is in quotations because routine suggests I do this with regularity when this is the first time I’ve done this whole “routine” as outlined below.

I realized I last clarified my hair when my hairdresser cut it several months ago, so I figured it was time to clarify. The pics are from last night, a couple of hours after washing.

  1. Clarify with Kinky Curly Come Clean Natural Moisturizing Shampoo. I really spent my time massaging it into my scalp, and I liberally applied to my hair and worked it until it had the “squeaky clean” feel. I used a rake comb to help detangle and make sure the shampoo was applied evenly throughout. I NEVER, EVER tug at any tangles, I take my time gently combing them out. (I really love how my hair turned out, I’m not sure if I’m going to just clarify every time I wash my hair. I wash it so infrequently and it has so much product applied to it each time that I think I’ll be fine, but I’ll edit this post if it turns out to be a bad idea.)

  2. Crunch out excess water.

  3. Condition with Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-In Conditioner. I applied liberally, massaging it into scalp and crunching it up into my hair until my hair felt smooth/soft. I crunched by leaning my hair to the side (and switching sides periodically) and making sure the crunch action reaches my scalp to ensure that the product it applied throughout. DON'T RINSE IT OUT. NB: Don’t over-apply to the point that the conditioner is dripping out of your hair, it’s wasteful and doesn’t add anything more to your hair apart from making it feel too greasy later.

  4. Crunch out excess water. Crunching will be your life for the next 20-30 minutes.

  5. Crunch gently with a towel. I just used my regular bath towel. Same crunch method as detailed in #3. I crunch until the dripping mostly stops.

  6. Apply Miss Jessie’s Multicultural Curls. I squeezed out a generous palmful, tilted my head to the side, and crunched it up into my hair. Same crunch method as detailed in #3. I crunched until I felt I’d crunched it up evenly throughout and my hands weren’t covered in product.

  7. Apply Miss Jessie’s Pillow Soft Curls. Same directions as in #6.

  8. Get a handheld hair dryer, remove whatever piece is at the head of it so the airflow isn’t concentrated in any particular way. I have a Che hairdryer I bought 10+ years ago that works well. (I had a diffuser, can’t find it, if I find it/use it I’ll edit this post. If anyone has any diffuser recs for someone with 3a/3b hair, let me know, I may have gotten rid of mine accidentally, oops.)

  9. Tilt your head upside-down, and dry with the hairdryer on low heat setting with one hand kept a few inches away while your other hand continues to crunch. Occasionally shift your hair to either side of your head and back to upside-down.

  10. If your hair dryer has a cold burst setting, use it for 20 seconds every 60 seconds or so. If not, just remove the heat for a few seconds as you continue crunching. CRUNCHING IS LIFE, IT IS THE ONLY LIFE YOU NOW KNOW.

  11. Dry your hair until it feels dry, never stop crunching. Your hands shouldn’t be damp or wet. I always used to rush through this part and the curls aren’t the same, the more time I spend with any low kind of heat (either with this hair dryer or using the helmet dryer at the salon), the better for me.

  12. Finish your hair with a small amount of shine serum. I plopped my head upright and scrunched in a small palmful of serum, focusing on the hair at the crown, the most coarse/fuzzy. I have some old DevaCurl MirrorCurls Serum lying around. I don’t like the smell, I’m open to trying something else.

  13. Fin. Maybe now is a good time to go gather the hair from the drain trap before your spouse yells at you for secretly threatening him with tribbles.


    GOALS

    I’m happy with my hair, but I have some things to work on:

  14. Fuzz. It’s still a little fuzzy at the crown, way better than before, maybe I need to make peace with it? Maybe a diffuser would help.

  15. Length. I haven’t had long hair in years, I’d like to continue growing it out and seeing how much more the thickness/length of the hair will weigh it down and make it less bouncy.

  16. Finding these products in bulk. It seems impossible, but I won’t give up hope. I would be willing to spend more money upfront for this stuff if it meant it was cheaper per ounce.

  17. Figuring out how to keep it looking good through the week. I do the pineapple at night with a giant, silky scarf and then cover the top with a night cap, but it still looks fuzzier/less awesome the next day. What do you recommend? This climate is WAY TOO DRY for me to do this this whole routine any more than twice/thrice weekly.


    Wow, that was a novella. Thanks for reading, and best of curls to you all!
u/BellaScarletta · 1 pointr/RedPillWives

Hahahaha we can do this, together <3

But seriously so here is my process:

  • Shower, Shampoo/Condition/Etc

  • While still in shower and hair is soaking, add a dollop of this and comb through (I just find it conditioning and nice).

  • Put hair up in an old graphic t-shirt (less frizz than a towel!)

  • When 50-60% dry, take out and add a dollop of this - It's like a gel but way more forgiving and it smells like cake. (It doesn't taste like cake. Don't ask.)

  • Do my 6 tentacle braids...yours probably looks infinitely better with the french braided pigtails hahaha.

  • Go to sleep (my favourite step!)

  • Wake up, hair spray braids and let set while I do my makeup and whatever else.

  • When ready, take out braids and tousle roots - I try to avoid disturbing the body of the hair too much because then it's like brushing out curls and the frizz/largeness is oh my lol. But the roots definitely need some breaking up.

  • First day that's usually the extent of it.

  • Second Day I add the silkening gloss to control frizzies (2-3 pumps usually?). Second day is always the best day! Idk why hahaha.

  • Third day I also add the gloss - It seriously doesn't make oily at all!!!!! It's as amazing as the original thread says <3 Also third day I do a bun or something with the nice texture the braids give. Sometimes I leave it down but I definitely look a little lazy if I do that haha.

    I hope that helps! It's also possible your hair doesn't hold as well (cough or you have higher standards for acceptable hair than me...totally possible cough), but I think with those products you will hopefully get a little more mileage out of it!
u/letsmakepeace · 1 pointr/curlyhair

I've watched so many YouTube videos and have followed the guides on here and product recommendations, they are so helpful!

So I have low porosity/thin/fine hair and I've been trying to take care of my hair more (I bleached my virgin hair last year and I regret it; I also cut my own hair recently using the double ponytail method and it has given me a boost in volume!). I have a new routine down that's been giving me amazing results but I still need to figure out how to keep this style to last for days...

Once a week my routine is this (ALERT - not a true CG method):

Pre-poo: I heat up a small amount of a homemade mix of coconut, jojoba, and caster oils. I rub that into my scalp and the lengths of my hair. I put it in a heat cap and leave it for 10 mins.

Shampoo: I shampoo TWICE using a sulfate free/clarifying shampoo (Giovanni). I do this and use this specific kind of product because my hair is low porosity so it gets weighed down easily from a lot of product build up. Cowashing is the enemy for low porosity. I suffer from oily/itchy scalp and dry hair so this really helps it to tone down.

**ACV RINSE**

Conditioner: My hair detangles like A LOT and I lose A LOT of hair. By the end of the week, my hair is rat's nest. I used to use my fingers and/or a wide toothed comb to detangle, but recently I just bought the Wet Brush Pro Quick Dry and it helped decrease my detangling time by 30% plus I shed a lot less. I just use a conditioner with lots of slip. I'm still trying to find one that is CG-approved and has lots of slip for my type of hair, but Giovanni does the trick right now. SQUISH TO CONDISH!

I rinse some of the conditioner out and put a deep conditioning masque on along with the heat cap again for 10ish minutes. I've been using a random one I found, but I'm going to be trying a SheaMoisture one soon.

I make sure to rinse all of the conditioners out AND rub my scalp to make sure it doesn't stay and cause buildup under hot water.

I then run Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-in Conditioner through my hair, followed by LA Looks gel (just tried this out!). I style my hair using the denman brush (brush outwards from the scalp, scrunch, then push back. I put a little bit more of gel on my hands and scrunch the end a bit more.

I put my hair in a silk cap, air dry for 10-15 minutes, diffuse until 80% dry, SOTC, and fluff.

Kinky Curly Knot Today

Read the reviews.

u/defiantnoodle · 1 pointr/curlyhair

I'll look that up. That's new to me

Edit: Found it, if anyone else is curious?

u/PurpleBootedBandit · 1 pointr/curlyhair

I am a 3b (I think) and am having frizzing issues.

I use Regenepure, primarily for the active ingredient, for shampoo and a conditioner reccomended in the FAQ: Kinky-Curly Knot Today Leave In Conditioner/Detangler

I use Beyond-Zone-Noodle-Head-Moisture and apply when wet straight out of the shower. It hardens, which I dislike, and after about 4 hours dries to give my hair the best appearance from all products I've tried (not many)


However, my hair has become drier, I know not whether this is due to the weather or what but my hair has become frizzier and harder to have those good hair days. I'm looking to try a new leave in conditioner/curling moisturizer. My hair isn't as thick as it appears, it just holds a lot of volume, especially when dry. I'm looking for something that is great for retaining moisture.

Any ideas?
