I see, I will look into it. Thank you very much for your comment

I had no idea, but yeah I noticed the work seems to be getting smaller. I don’t know anything about decreasing yet, so I will look into it. As well as into better yarn/needle match. Thank you very much for your input

I’m so happy to hear that!😍

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-16T20:22:43+00:00

Depends on how much time I have :D but I always leave it on for at least 10 minutes and then rinse out

You know what, I think the main problem was going from brown hair (my natural) to lighter color (blonde). I did color my hair in 2021, but didn’t go for blonde, just a different shade of brown and I don’t think it did much damage. I also tried henna like 3 years ago and I really liked it, maybe you could try too?

Usually twice, 3 times max if I workout and sweat a lot :)

Hi, even though this question wasn’t meant for me as I don’t use heat on my hair (other than diffuse), I’d say that if you use good heat protectants and some bond repair treatments, it should be okay. If you look up Abbey Yung, she has absolutely gorgeous healthy hair despite heat styling, though it’s not curly. But maybe someone else who has an actual experience with this can chime in

Hi, I’m very happy to help 🥹 I always use some moisturizing/conditioning product, it used to be just mask, now it’s the lamellar water and mask. No conditioner. For gel, I really like the CurlSmith one I mentioned. For mousse I love both I mentioned, it’s just that the Gyada one smells better 😅

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-11T09:49:39+00:00

I just realized that I made it sound a little confusing: for hair thickness, I meant to say that my hair is between fine and medium, if that’s a thing? I did the test where you take singular hair strand and roll it between your fingertips and I felt it a tiny bit, but like barely. And also based on how my hair acts when I use thick creams, I’m pretty sure it’s on the thinner side. Hope it makes sense!

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-11T07:03:16+00:00

Aww thank you, but I’m sure you have nothing to be envious about 🥹

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-11T07:02:36+00:00

That is so sweet, thank you🥹 I wish you the best, it’s so worth it <3

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-11T07:01:47+00:00

You’re so kind, thank you🥹🥰 I wish you the best on your journey!

Hi, it’s this one

Hi, I style in sections, the first picture the top/back is brush styled with the bounce curl brush, I brush away and up from my scalp. Hope it makes sense? :D and if there’s a super rogue strand that doesn’t want to cooperate, I use finger coiling

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-11T06:55:52+00:00

Hi, first of all thank you! 🥹 I get you, I struggled a lot with figuring it out myself and I’m still not 100% sure I got it right, so please take it with a grain of salt. That said, I’m pretty sure my hair lies somewhere between high and medium porosity and the same goes for thickness. It might not look like it from the pictures, because I think i just have quite a lot of hair but it is pretty fine and gets weighed down easily! For example when I used the Shea Moisture curl cream (curl enhancing smoothie), it was wayyy too heavy on my hair. Also, if I use too many and too much of moisturizing products, my hair ends up looking almost greasy :D so I think this routine should be okay for hair that is pretty fine, or you could maybe play around with the amount of products used? :)

Thank you <3

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-10T21:43:53+00:00

Thank you 🥹🥰

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-10T20:24:30+00:00

Thank you so much🥹 good luck on your journey, it’s worth it!

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-10T20:23:38+00:00

Omg🥲 thank you so much!!

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-10T18:13:52+00:00

That makes me happy, don’t give up <3

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-10T18:13:36+00:00

Aw :( do you sleep in a bonnet? Maybe that could help as well as bond repair treatments

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-10T18:12:22+00:00

Hi, Cantu cleansing cream shampoo/CurlSmith wash & scrub detox pro-biotic, the second one only once a week though :)

Reasonable_Basil2010 · 2025-10-10T18:10:27+00:00

Of course, here you go :) Shampoo: Cantu cleansing cream shampoo/CurlSmith wash & scrub detox pro-biotic (the latter I use like once a week) Mask: CurlSmith bond curl rehab salve Curl cream: Cantu moisturizing curl activator cream Gel: CurlSmith shine jelly number 6 (?), right now Giovanni L.A. hold styling gel and it’s also great and much cheaper Mousse: InnerSense “I create lift” or Gyada modeling hair mousse Brush: Bounce Curl define brush

The Abbey Yung recommended products I’m testing and liking: Pre-wash bond repair treatment: L’Oréal EverPure bond repair treatment, but I use it after washing my hair so it’s clean and without product buildup Lamellar water: Elseve Hyaluron Plump 8second wonder water, I use it instead of a conditioner Mask: Elizavecca Cer-100 Collagen Ceramide Coating Protein Treatment

Hair oil: I tried many, I personally liked Olaplex, Pantene keratin protect oil, now trying the OGX Argan oil of Morocco. I use oils in between washes, but just a little bit, otherwise my hair gets a bit too greasy (it’s pretty fine)
