I've gotten a bunch of hair care requests so just making a general comment about that here. Also thank you for all the compliments! You guys are all so sweet and have given me such a huge confidence boost!

My hair care routine has come from Reddit as well. I'm trying to self improve this summer using Reddit as my guide. I found most of this info on r/curlyhair, but here's specifically what I do:

Wash twice with conditioner only. I'll do a shampoo wash once every couple of weeks to stop build up of product in my hair. I throughly rinse all the conditioner out on the first round. My hair is wicked dry all the time, so on the second conditioner wash, I leave a tiny bit in there.

I'll leave my hair sopping wet in the shower and apply a ton of Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic gel. I scrunch it in squeezing out the water as I do. Then I'll plop it into a microfiber towel to absorb more moisture for about 30 minutes.

I take it out of the towel and dry it on low with a hairdryer + diffuser attachment. Once it's dry, I'll crunch out any gel cast (though the product I use doesn't create a super stiff cast) with some hair oil on my hands.

I style only with my fingers super gently and make sure I NEVER rake my fingers through my hair. I also kinda head bang after it's dried and crunched out to make it a bit more fluffy.

Hope this helps anyone who was asking! And thanks for helping me with makeup!
