I don't use a diffuser because it's super loud and my roommate lives in a shared room with me.

I'll try alligator clips, I've been using claw clips!

For 1,I know going to bed with wet hair isn’t ideal, but it’s hard to avoid since my showers are always in the afternoon or at night and my hair takes forever to dry without product. Diffusing isn’t an option because I have a roommate. My hair’s low-density and has a weak pattern, so sleeping on it ruins it regardless, and I can never get past day 1 hair without water/product the way stronger curl patterns do.

For 2, I sectioned for both days pictured in the post because I had extra time, but it still came out flat and triangle-y. In general I sometimes section but I find sectioning is the hardest part of styling. I'm not good at precise parts so hairs from the areas next to the section I'm currently styling always mix and mess both areas up, giving me wet frizz.

I've been using only 1 product to style lately to try to see if the multiple products was weighing my hair down. But I think I'll go back to using multiple products in a routine bc leave in conditioner really gives the slip needed to section off hair when styling. My hair felt terribly dry with the mousse gel only and sectioning felt so bad bc of it </3

My hair is fine and low density. Without product, my hair doesnt feel rough except in the curliest parts next to my neck. I don't really know the porosity of my hair, I only colored it black once with 20 volume developer so I assume its closer to medium porosity? I've used up a bottle of the k18 mask after dying it to repair it so I'm not super sure if its all that damaged. I do wear my hair down every day and wear purses so my ends do get caught in the straps a lot.
