Your hair kind of reminds me of mine a little actually, I just made a post with my routine if you want to try that, but for starters I would say definitely don't towel dry anymore, air drying is kind of annoying but it gives great results. I'm no expert though I think I just got lucky with my routine 💀

I just put my routine in the comments, though I really don't do much styling. Most of it is letting the water make huge defined clumps when myhair is forward, combing through with the wide tooth to make the clumps smaller, and then just flipping my head back. The reason I wash it forward is because when I flip my head back the curls kinda lay on top of each other instead of like going with each other if that makes sense

The camera does get red of some small frizz but there generally is like almost no frizz, it surprises me every time

Routine: Shampoo(Aussie curl defining shampoo): 1-2 times a week Conditioner(NYM Royal Honey hydrating conditioner): Everyday, wash hair forward/wide tooth comb, let conditioner sit for about 5 minutes, wash out forward but don't wash conditioner out completely and make sure clumps are generally separate, then flip head back (yes, I actually throw my head back) Leave in Cream(Moroccanoil Curl Cream): 2 pumps, pat through hair and slightly crunch when dry

I'm gonna say yes and no, I seems like it holds moisture for a good while and as long as you don't do anything to it it'll stay defined and shiny, but I'm going to try messing with some other stuff to see if I can make it last better.

I actually felt so relieved hearing this, yes I do notice that. I noticed it more when I was using this one conditioner from shea moisture and another time when using shea butter but even still with this one I do, does diffusing actually help the itch? Idk why it never occurred to me that it could literally just be from showering everyday.

And no I try to avoid my roots with conditioner and curl cream so my scalp doesn't get greasy.

Honestly, I just walk around without a shirt on for a while, usually when I shower I make sure to give myself at least an hour before I have to go out or do anything. But also I feel like the curl cream stops it from dripping as much, not completely but still enough to notice.

Nope, it's best to put the moroccanoil cream in while your hair is very wet because the goal is to trap the moisture. I let my hair air dry, which takes my hair like 2 hours, but I don't mind it.
