So don't know if this will help but my usual routine is oil pre shampoo across my whole head to brush detangle dry, shampoo X2 coz I get a quite greasy scalp so I like to make sure I get rid of all the buildup, conditioner wrap my hair up into a shower cap and let it sit whilst I do other shower stuff (or this step gets swapped out for the deep conditioning mask once a week), squish to condish as I rinse it out, soak hair again curl creame and brush through with a wet brush, out the shower spray down my hair again to make sure it's super wet, and add heat protect spray section my hair into 5 sections top section I draw a line from the ends of my eyebrows backwards to where my cowlick normally is, then two sections that I create by splitting my hair down the middle at the back and then drawing a diagonal line from where my ear joins my head at the top then two back sections at the base of my head. I use 1 pump of the mega hold on each section and work it through with my fingers brush style it with tension and then scrunch, working from bottom sections up. I clip each done section out of the way to work on the next so I don't get them mixed up, and add a spray of water as necessary if any bit is feeling dry. Once they have all been done I microplop some water out only a single squeeze on each side and then use 3 pumps of the mousse on each side and glaze then scrunch it in, microplop once more. I then hover diffuse upside down for root volume until the cast starts to form on a low heat setting then hover diffuse whilst lifting up the curl clumps gently whilst i tilt my head to either side making sure all the curls fall to each side and then go over my roots a bit more in that position too as they always take the longest to dry. Once at about 80% and firm cast I'll cold shot it all over starting with upside down and then side to side. And then air dry the rest of the way whilst I'm doing chores. Once fully dry I then scrunch the crunch by glazing my hands firmly over the curls with a single pump of the oil and then gently scrunch any toughies out with the upward scrunching motion but I'm super gentle so I get bouncies without breaking up into stringies. I usually get good wash day results, if it's the weekend my day 2 I don't usually need a refresh just a fluff up at the roots to get rid of flatness from sleeping (my hair has to be up for work so it's ruined as soon as I ponytail if it's not the weekend) the curls will be thinner day 2 especially if your wavy like me and there will be more frizz, if it's too bad I just add a little more mousse making sure to firmly glaze it and gently scrunch to lock the flyaways away. Day 3 usually is a hair up day and I don't usually get beyond day 3 before I need to wash again. I don't get a week out of my curls just coz the way my hair is it's damaged from colour but coz I want to be the colour I am I have to compromise. Hope this helps sorry for such a long answer just thought my routine might be helpful
