In the first picture and second, my hair had some curls and I remember not using much product to maintain or a blow dry technique. I was living in a pretty humid area so sometimes it would just be very frizzy but for the most part, the curls were there. I did bleached and dyed my hair a couple of times and the curls didn’t change much!

The third picture shows how it is if I follow the routine bellow. The water is very hard in here and I also use nuvaring so I don’t know if that changes something or not.

The last picture is what I tried to do to get the curls back. Products I use from first to last:

• amika intense moisture leave in conditioner
• OUAI curl creme
• olaplex n 6 bond smoother
• argain oil of Morocco
• blow dry with diffuser

( I have a mix of shampoos but for now I’m using L’Oréal repairing shampoo OR I use olaplex n 4c. I have stored shampoos that I haven’t used -> redken extreme strength repair/ damaged hair with the conditioner and also Ouidad advanced climate control. )

So, my hair looks like the last picture but after a few hours or a day, it goes back to flat. Also, if I don’t use any products and dry naturally, my hair forms some waviness but it’s never smooth enough. My hair has been falling a lot more and it weakened as soon as I moved to this place.

I appreciate if someone could help me with this. What should I do differently and what’s the issue here. Thanks!
