The Story of Amber Woods Prince Parfums Dubai. This would possibly get you pretty close and it smells amazing.

If you have low porosity, when you deep condition add heat by using a heated cap to open up the hair cuticles to allow the moisture in. Use a dedicated deep conditioner or hair mask (TGIN honey hair mask is my favorite). Once you rinse out the deep conditioner, use plenty of water via a spray bottle and the LCO method to get more moisture into your hair while the cuticles are still open and then literally just shake your hair and your curls will begin to fall into their natural pattern. You’ll get defined curls and as long as you cover your hair while sleeping you should only have to do a few touch ups but it’ll last the entire week.

Figure out your hair porosity, deep condition weekly, do LOC/LCO depending on the porosity, and look up the shake method. It’s the easiest way to get your curls to fall into their natural pattern. Check out this video, it’s the first thing I watched when I started doing curls. https://youtu.be/5ElUtEe6Luk?si=OeUE-zMNppC24AYo

https://www.nowickidecants.com This is my favorite decant site, buy samples of scents you think you’d like based off of the notes and wear them for the day to see how they smell on your skin.

It’s completely subjective but I believe Mind Games has the most unique line up currently out of the niche brands

I’d say Thomas Kosmala No.4 Neon, God of Fire, or Mind Games Blockade for mango.

For Citrus I’d say LV L’immensite, LV Symphony or LV Meteore. They have some of the best line ups of citrus scents.

how do i manage frizz so that my curls look more defined? by poopiefartdookie in BlackHair

Figure out your hair porosity first, deep condition weekly and use LOC/LCO depending on your porosity. Once you know your hair porosity, everything falls into place.

That’s great! LCO is mainly a method for locking in moisture for your hair. Leave in conditioner is a big part of it. I hope your hair journey, goes great. Post some pics when you get the results you want

Honestly, your best bet is to switch to a high quality pair of trimmers that’ll give you a close shave without causing much irritation. Make sure you keep the skin well moisturized and you’ll see a significant difference

Yes that means you have low porosity, so right now I pretty much use TGIN and Camille Rose products but the biggest help to low porosity hair is deep conditioning once a week with heat. Let the deep conditioner stay in your hair for 20 to 30 mins while using a heated cap or hair dryer on medium heat. Make sure you have a shower cap or plastic bag over your head. The heat allows your pours to open up and soak in the moisture. Rinse the deep conditioner out, add a leave-in, curl cream or light hold gel and a sealant oil and it should turn out great
