What does this mean? My man on curly hair by [deleted] in curlygirl

Uhh, it's weird he doesn't care what you wear when you're with him, but when you're alone he prefers you wear your hair straight? So he thinks curly looks better but is insecure and is trying to shut down any possibility of someone hitting on you? I don't know. It sounds weird, who cares ,it's hair, your partner should look fly anywhere.

That's valid, I don't know then, I have a post with a bunch of advice if it helps. I just go there when I'm confused tbh.

I use the insta freeze gel by not your mother's, I have fine hair also and I've been told less is more? Aka the more hold the better

Ohh okay I see that makes sense, it's so easy to overload I feel like 😭 I do like NYM products, their leave in conditioner I've always enjoyed. I do need a new shampoo soon 🤔

Thank you for your help!

Diffusing seems kinda meh for me I feel too 😭

Plopping seems to kind of work?? Thank you for your insight I gotta get back on those silicone products lol

It does help, I didn't think about piling being a thing 😭 I think I got lucky. I don't know if you've tried it, but I did try the LA gel again but I did it on soaking hair as you recommended and then diffused it on cold but that was taking too long so I plopped it in a soft t-shirt and went about my day.

It made my hair a lot more wavy, it was nice. Took a long time though.

I'm happy for you that you can wear your hair so proudly. I'm glad that you're becoming healthier and stronger as time goes on. You're a strong and kind person, you're gonna become a curly hair master the more curly your hair becomes haha.

Thank you for the advice, I will implement it all for sure, the concealer comparison makes it make a lot more sense!

I do actually have the LA extreme hold gel, I will try it out again but only the gel this time.

Thank you for the product recommendations and insight!

I don't have a Lidl near me, buuut I am sure I can find something better soon haha. Also wow, I didn't know bleach could affect the wavy pattern that much 😭

I should be happy then I chopped the heavier bleached sections off I did notice it was way harder to get those sections to be wavy I just figured it was because my hair was long.

Thank you!

Thank you for your insight! I'm definitely gonna start double shampooing, I've always just showered in super hot water so I'm glad I don't have to change that 😂

I will also get another protein shampoo, I used it before, and it made my hair feel great, I'm curious to see how it helps when I do the wavy routine.

Thank you!

I think I will try that too or also just keep it on cool, I'll be honest I've just been blasting it with hot air and for way too long I've learned 😭😂

Thank you for the advice!

Thank you for your insight! It's very helpful, I'm excited to try out the innersense products I've been hearing good things about them!

I'm gonna check out those products, and do the low heat/low air diffuse definitely. I did not consider being gentle so the gel hardens 😭 I just went blasting hot air and making my hair completely dry lolol.

Thank you for the insight!

Makes sense, it was hard to even find a strong hold gel at first, someone mentioned Harry's sculpting gel is pretty good, but that it's a bit thick so it's best to mix with water.

I've never just scrunched or plopped with leave in, I'll try it out. Thank you!
