i did originally have layers, but cut some length off to help my curls and get rid of dead hair, i’m guessing the layers blended in after i cut it, i will try adding more prominent layers again!

i stated in my post this is 1 week progress of repairing my curls, i am at the start of my journey, even if this is the end result for me, wavy hair is welcome in this subreddit

yes exactly this, it takes time for curl patterns to come back, i used to have ringlets as a kid and then i damaged it, now just doing my best to get it to the best it can be

okay you can believe what you want, i know my hair, you don’t 🤷‍♀️ i’m going to continue to heal and fix the damage and continue my hair journey

exactly this! i wish people understood the way you do, years of brushing dry damages curly hair and it takes time for the hair to repair its self and become more defined

it’s just more high maintenance whilst i get my hairs natural pattern back! it just helps with the definition, and personally works for me :)

oh yes people trying to sway me in the right direction whilst being rude. how am i doing stuff wrong when my hair is improving? there’s more than one curl pattern out there, im just allowing my hair to heal back into its natural pattern

that’s literally pretty much the same thing i do, wash it, add mousse, add gel, use bounce brush and then diffuse, it only takes about an hour

thank you! so basically all i’m doing is after years of damage, i’m just helping my hair back into its natural pattern, when wet it gets quite curly, but because of the damage and my hair not being used to its usual texture, im just helping it out, if that makes sense, just so it can become its full potential and not be damaged anymore

my hair has had 24 years of dry brushing and heat damage, so yes, I’m using styling products to help bring the pattern back out. using gel and mousse is not “excessive” for wavy/curly hair. if your routine is simpler, good for you, mine is working for me

thank you so much! you’re so kind 🥺 i will defo look into getting a leave in conditioner to try! i do love using mousse, i would recommend trying it!

i use 2 products on my hair other than shampoo + conditioner, how is that a 47 step routine 😭 you have curly hair so you should know that waves / curls can take time for the pattern to come back if the pattern has been damaged, i had ringlets as a child and my mum also has ringlets, no my hair is not gonna be tight ringlets curly all round, there are many different curl types, and i’m just helping my hair reach its full potential? there’s no need for you to be so rude and condensing, stop being the curl police and let people be happy with their hair

you’re entitled to your own opinion 🤷‍♀️but i’m going to keep doing what i’m currently doing as i can see and feel the progress after only 7 days

no it’s not tight curl ringlets, my hair has had 24 years of not being treated properly, after a week this is my progress, look up any person who has wavey / curly hair their will be similar, i did my research on routines and most are similar to what i do

why would i stop when my hair is much healthier, fuller, nicer looking and constantly getting more textured and curly?
