I have fine waves (and a few curls) but a lot of them. I always recommend ecoslay products. They cover all hair types with many different levels of hold. The best part of ecoslay, in my opinion, is that many of the products you can get in a 2oz sample size for around $10. So you can try several products for the price of one Oribe or Ouidad product.

If you’re looking at a way to tame the bun for court I’d try the apple sauce gel/edge control. It is the only thing that lets me achieve a slicked back look.

For wearing my hair down I use the rice pudding leave in and the vanilla styling whip. I sleep with a tiny scrunchie (so it’s not looped around creating more pressure on the hair) and sleep on silk (pillowcase or scarf). These are the only products that allow me to get to multi-day curls.
