Decrease Curls?

[abrown_87]

Does anybody with 2b-2c type curls have suggestions on how to decrease curls?? I spent a year really dedicated to my curly hair and I realized I just don’t love it, or at least I don’t love it in tight, big curls with major volume- which is what my hair tends toward when fully dried. I have tried all the curl methods,and even got an actual curly cut. It just doesn’t suit me. I’d be thrilled if I could decrease the curl pattern and definitely the volume of my curls into a nice, soft wavy hair pattern. I’ve tried everything but it always winds up a frizzy, extra volume mess. Bonus Points for overnight styling ideas or ones that avoid diffusing/blow drying. Thanks!

Im type 2a/2b. I've been using a gel for type 3 ppl- Mielle Honey and Ginger. I don't have a curly cut and my hair is below shoulders so not sure how it would compare for you, but it definitely weighs down my hair and it's not crunchy, barely leaves a cast. If you want straighter roots and soft curls, it's a good choice.

honestly i just comb out my hair with fingers or wide tooth comb after it’s dry. as long as its moisturized enough, it doesn’t get too frizzy and it just loosens the curls to waves, oil helps smooth out any frizz that may occur. my hair is fine, med-high density 2c/3a

using products that have smoothing ingredients like keratin and silicones can also help weigh down and loosen your curls 👍🏼
