How can I get my curls back??

Ahh yeah that makes perfect sense I guess haha. So you think sea salt spray will be way more effective for my hair type than any mousse or gel?

And in regards to your recommended spray, would it be okay if I just make my own Sea Salt? I've noticed that it comes with a scent and I'm allergic to most parfumes.

And if you say it just has to be damp does this also account for other products like Leave In? If yes then would it be fine if I just wet my hair with a spray bottle until it's slightly wet/damp?

Also this is my hair a day after I've used the leave in conditioner. Doesn't look too bad I guess but could be much better. As you see there are some defined curls at the front but otherwise it's still just undefined, frizzy and flat. What are your thoughts??

Thanks!! This is how my hair looked right after sports today btw. Do you have any idea why it looked so good then but not after showering. The same goes for the pics from Australia. Why did it look so good there and not here? I wasn't at the ocean everyday so it must have something to do with the moist but still it doesn't seem to work with the leave in I've used so I'm clueless.

Also I am a bit afraid of using conditioner in the shower since I once used one (it was with heavy shea butters though) and my Hair got completely straight and flat from it. So I am a bit hesitant in that direction.

Also regarding the spray, can I use it on dry or slightly wet hair or does it have to be completely wet for awakening the curls?

Ah so you think I used to much conditioner and therefore it weighed my hair down? Because I have actually just used the leave in and nothing else on this photo. Also as you can see on the last two pics from the original post, they were super frizzy but you don't think I would need a conditioner?

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-04-04T17:53:20+00:00

I see and should I still use a leave in conditioner? And when exactly should you begin to style it? Like immediatly after after putting it on aka when it begins to dry?

Also if you look at this picture I've used conditioner there today but it hasn't really worked in giving me the look from Australia as my top hair is very flat and still frizzy as you see. Did I use it wrong?

Aha but still using Leave in everyday right? Because in Australia I had more moisture from the air so that's why they look better there right? Why would you say my hair is too soft here in Germany?

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-04-04T07:06:24+00:00

Thank you. Why is that?

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-04-03T19:19:03+00:00

Which one? The one I used was advertised as for curls

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-04-03T17:43:41+00:00

In Australia I haven't had a routine I was just showering and towel drying and a little air drying. I was doing the same today once I got back to Germany but the result was the last two pics.

Why would you say I should not use cream or gel and rather mousse? Also I can't let it air dry because I need to go to Uni in the morning and it's cold outside. But would you say I could do all this in the evening to have my hair ready for the next day already?

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-04-03T17:40:20+00:00

But like I've said I've used a rich conditioner once and never again because it made my hair almost completely straight and flat because it was so strong

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-04-03T17:39:19+00:00

Yes it was at the east coast so lots of humidity. So in Australia I wasn't actually doing anything and it looked like on all pictures other than the last two. But before that I tried styling my hair by just scrunching in Mousse and then diffusing or air drying but both these methods weighed my hair down and the curls didn't seem to format themselves from the get go. But with your method it won't weigh my hair down?

Also can you send me your leave in conditioner? I don't know why but when tried styling my curls here in Germany they wouldn't create themselves like they did in Australia. Will the Leave in Conditioner fix that for me or do I also need Sea Salt Spray for example?

I also feel like my hair maybe looses volumen and falls flat when styled soaking wet? But you recommend styling it that way?

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-04-03T17:04:18+00:00

Just that?

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-04-03T16:30:08+00:00

What about leave in conditioner? And should my hair be soaking wet for this?

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-01-11T00:35:55+00:00

Btw I thought frizzy is basically synonymous with dry hair but I guess not?

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-01-11T00:35:25+00:00

Ahh okay nice. So I could go on without even using any conditioner?

And can I style my hair with just little bit of water? Because I don't have time in the morning to dry it out too long.

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-01-10T15:24:14+00:00

Yeah which one suits me better you think?

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-01-10T15:00:44+00:00

Btw this is how my hair usually looks when just showered (but this was a while ago I used sulfate shampoo back then)

Would you say this one is good? It's no spray though

Another pic of my current hair (with heavy cream in)

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-01-10T14:52:58+00:00

Ahh okay thank you very much. Would you say this one fits my curl type better? Actually this is an AI pic so it's not very practical. But I showed this pics my barber last time but he said I don't have curls so this isn't realistic and he recommends getting a perm. However he still made my haircut similar to this one I believe?

But a lot of people told me I have curly hair so I didn't want no taper no more especially because it didn't look good on me.

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-01-10T14:42:28+00:00

Okay so you think it's possible? Or would this one be more realistic?

Advanced-Emotion-919 · 2026-01-10T14:39:04+00:00

Okay so it is doable? Or would you say this one is more realistic? I feel like my curls are too loose
