I feel like I have tried everything (I know I havenīt) and I just canīt care for my curls. It it really starting to get to me and it doesnīt matter how much I read or try - nothing is working. :(
My hair is still short. Between chin and shoulder. But my curls are really starting to come back from taking much better care of my hair. My routine: co - wash (with deep conditioner treatment once in a while), AVC rince about once/week, mouistureizing treatment (honey, oliveoil mix) about every 1-2 weeks, protein treatment about every 3rd week. And then I use jojoba oil and coconutoil. Sometimes I do heavy oiling but not very often at all. I only use a wide tooth comb, sometimes my bb brush (but only before going to bed). I tried not combing at all after I shower but that makes it look even worse.I sleep on a silk pillowcase. I do use cassia but not very often at all. I know that can realx curly hair a bit.
My hair is to short to "plopp", I tried aloe vera but my hair doesnīt like it at all, I tried alcohol free products both in gel and foam to make my curls stay together. They do for a while but then it just looks messy, dry and ugly. I tried using a little, and alot. I tried in wet hair and in dry. When I just leave it, and just scrunch my curls a but it looks okej for a while. Then the curls donīt hold very well - and since my hair is very fine and thin I get fly away hairs all over.
Maybe my hair is just to short to make my curls look nice.
I read about the curl keeper. The product. Maybe that is something to try?
It just feels like everything I try ends up with the same result: Either dry frizzy curls that feels like crust - or to heavy oily curls that look greasy. I just want them to get "tighter" and more together without all the fly aways or feeling crusty or greasy. When I use gel or foam, I always scrunch very carefully when it is dry to try to easen the crusty look - but then they just end up a mess. And I just donīt want to put a ton of product in my hair to make it look nice. But I am open to use a bit of something, to make them stay together and look tighter. As they do when my hair is wet :).
It is just getting to me. So frustrating.
Any ideas or suggestions??? I will be very very grateful! :)
Maybe someone else with a similar situation?
Thank you so much for reading this....!!!!!Hugs to you all!
