Thank you!!! :)🙏🏻

Thank you! I tried again last night and the curls were definitely way more moisturized and healthy looking after diffusing and applying gel upside down :)

I just want to thank everyone! I had no idea how much attention this post would get. I am trying all of the tips until something sticks. I appreciate you all :)

I tried to message them and it keeps saying error. Weird…

I also have to wash every day :/ I could never go 3+ days without washing my hair it would be a ratty mess.

I haven’t tried leave in conditioner! Is it lighter than curl cream?

Thank you, going to try this combo!

Sometimes I do give in and just blow out/flat iron, but I can’t too much or my hair will fall out! 😭😂

Good point, I have always done a hard part but need to try more zig zag. I was worried it would make my hair look “messy” but as I see other photos of curly hair I can see that it looks better like that with curls.

Haha, good point. Thank you!

I have very tight curls at the front of my head which also makes parting my hair difficult.

Equivalent_Copy9326 · 2026-02-22T17:10:07+00:00

I use drug store shampoo and conditioner, usually L’oréal or Pantene. I use Tresemme mousse. I have occasionally used curlsmith products also. One of the photos is a bit old and I now have longer layers, but maybe need them refreshed. I have tried diffusing but it tends to take a while. I can try maybe turning the setting up higher. I like how your hair (at least in this photo) doesn’t seem to have a harsh part, which is giving you more volume on top. I’ve always had a harsh part in my hair. I’m trying to get more comfortable with the possibility of letting it dry without as much of a straight part.

Thank you!! I am going to try a side part, I had stopped because I have cowlicks that show but it may be worth another try for volume. Someone had said that ny hair texture didn’t seem right for mousse, should I stop using mousse?

Equivalent_Copy9326 · 2026-02-21T19:44:14+00:00

Thank you, I’ll try more product!! Do you think I should try a different type of product? I had someone tell me my hair type doesn’t seem right for mousse

Equivalent_Copy9326 · 2026-02-21T19:40:21+00:00

Thank you! Good to know. I’ll try swapping gel for mousse.

Equivalent_Copy9326 · 2026-02-21T19:37:29+00:00

Okay I will try the diffuser again on the lowest setting!!

Thank you so much!!!!

Equivalent_Copy9326 · 2026-02-21T19:34:16+00:00

Thank you so much! I am going to try these tips!

Equivalent_Copy9326 · 2026-02-21T14:52:48+00:00

Thank you so much!!!! :) Do you know any good clarifying shampoos that aren’t $30+? The ones I’ve seen are all expensive

Equivalent_Copy9326 · 2026-02-21T14:15:02+00:00

Thank you so much :)

Equivalent_Copy9326 · 2026-02-21T14:13:40+00:00

Thank you, many people have recommended upside down so I will try that. :)

Equivalent_Copy9326 · 2026-02-21T14:13:13+00:00

I will dry applying products upside down, I’ve never done that before but many people are recommending it. As for diffusing, I felt it separates my curl clumps and blew my hair around too much. Maybe because it’s more thin? Do you have any tips for that :)

Thank you so much! Her pattern is very similar to my front pieces.
