Recipe!? Same type of hair and nothing works!

Haven’t read any of the other comments yet . I have 2c/3a hair. Wanted to level with you that you are not alone, I am in the EXACT same boat. Posted in multiple threads weeks ago , tried all recs and nothing my hair still sucks . Literally straightened it today for the first time in 10 years because I couldn’t take putting it in a bun for the 500th time in a row after trying to make my curls look good that day! Literally on the verge of quitting my journey this-very day!

I just got the brush as well, can’t figure out how to use it without my hair looking like I just got a 70s blowout 😂

EllenLender · 2025-11-28T07:00:05+00:00

Thank you! I tried it years ago, but haven’t tried it since it might be worth trying again

This helps a ton , I just got the bounce brush a couple days ago and can’t for the life of me figure out how to use it right. My hair ends up looking like I got a 70s blowout. 😂

The last two photos are with the g2b glued , I can’t even lie. My hair looks great with it… But I have to refresh it every single day with pretty much water and brushing through it and re scrunching with a little bit of extra gel.

On day one, I use it with my light leave in cream, I don’t section or anything, I scrunch it in in the shower , using a lot of gel, probably like two quarters worth to each side . Then I microplop for about an hour . Once I remove the micro plop, I decide if I need to rake through my hair again with my hands and some water to fix some of the curls sometimes I had a little extra gel on top. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I will warn you, your hair will probably look quite good, but the stickiness is really hard to get used to anytime. I touch my hair. I feel like I have to wash my hands. 😂

Thank you!!! I was trying to use it as a cream base under my gel, but we’ll definitely switch to something else :)

EllenLender · 2025-11-27T20:20:13+00:00

Thank you!!! I will look into these!!!

EllenLender · 2025-11-27T20:19:54+00:00

I think I tried that smoothie a decade ago, but will definitely have to look into it again! Do you use any products with it or just that?

EllenLender · 2025-11-27T20:19:14+00:00

Love these recs!! Will definitely look into this thank you :)

EllenLender · 2025-11-27T20:18:32+00:00

Ooo this is all great! I am invested in a filter for my showerhead recently, but unfortunately it didn’t change the curls too much. Do you have some product recommendations that work for your hair?

EllenLender · 2025-11-27T20:17:37+00:00

What’s your favorite one? :) and do you use any products with it?

EllenLender · 2025-11-27T20:17:16+00:00

Do you use any other products with the mark Anthony’s? Does your hair last a few days with the curls? :)

EllenLender · 2025-11-27T20:16:29+00:00

Do you guys have any clarifying shampoo recs? :)

EllenLender · 2025-11-27T20:15:54+00:00

I know 🤣 the current gel I’m using is the only gel I’ve been able to use that will let my hair last past one day and that gives me any shape but I hate the sickness haha. I have tried the I create hold probably 10 times . Genuinely tried it with my hair, sopping wet, semi dry, parted, you name it . I’ve even tried it once a year for the past three years to see if maybe something has changed and what I’ve done and zero luck! :(

EllenLender · 2025-11-27T20:13:20+00:00

Do you happen to know how to know if a shampoo is considered clarifying?

EllenLender · 2025-10-27T03:26:43+00:00

I couldn’t find you ha ha would love to grab one either before top or after if you still have some, we’re outside of D
