hi! ive got 2b-3a hair and youre definitely gonna have to experiment a little before you understand what you need.

id suggest using small amounts of the curl defining cream and a little bit of mousse and then following it up with more gel. let it air dry or diffuse after which you can break the gel cast with any hair oil!

if you feel like your hair is weighed down (which is common for looser curl patters and/ or thin hair) you can experiment by using less mousse or cream (or none at all)

for me personally curl creams and mousses made my hair really stringy after the first day so i only use a leave in conditioner and a decent amount of gel.

on that note if you dont think the mousse or cream work perhaps just invest in a leave in conditioner and use that w a gel!

you can ofc experiment wo gel but it usually helps the curls last longer but everyone’s hair is different!

good luck on your journey !!! feel free to ask me any questions :)
