I wish MY hair was more of a 3a instead of B, love those big curls but I wasn't blessed with them. My hair is really, really REALLY dry especially when I decided to grow it longer, it just got worse no matter how much I baby it
I do need a haircut for the ends, but I managed to put it off at least up until I have money to get a nice haircut
Anyways, what I've been doing for a couple of weeks is wet wrapping. For the first time in my life I can actually glide my fingers down my hair, it's silky, it's shinier, it's smoother, looks less dry and relaxes my hair a bit.
I start by regularly treating my hair with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and then deep conditioner, dry it only a little with a T-shirt instead of towel or letting it air dry no matter how wet it is. While still pretty wet I add to it my favorite serum and little leave in or none at all. Wrap it around my head, make sure you have bobby pins or clips that will hold your hair in place. Wrap a silk scarf around your head and go to bed, or just keep it till it's COMPLETELY dry. In the morning I have nice relaxed hair.
This in end helps me use less products on my hair, and no need to fear what's in my gel or mousse and if it will dry it (which usually no matter what expensive type I used it still was hard and dull)
I am extremely satisfied with the results especially since my hair is exaggerated,dry, poofy and does not help my face shape.
I can't tell you I've mastered how to wrap wet hair because it's very difficult to wrap the top. I like to make the top bit of my hair a ponytail while I wrap everything else around. Once that's done I clip and comb till it matches the rest of my hair.
I found it difficult to wrap my hair without youtube, you'll see a bunch of women showing you how to wrap. Hope it helped :D
