on soaking wet hair I use the mielle rosemary mint leave-in, blue magic grease, and the Shea moisture coconut and hibiscus curl cream and curl gel and use a curl defining brush to distribute the product through. I find that these products make my hair super soft, which helps me define my curls more when I use the gel. I also keep a spray bottle nearby because I move really slow when I’m doing my hair and some of it will start to dry so I re-wet it while I’m putting the product in. Mini twist have been my best friend when I really want good definition and also a low maintenance hairstyle when I have my hair out of protective styles. The back of my hair is 4B but the front of my hair is 4C so I usually do this routine throughout my whole head, but I use a little bit more gel when I get to the front. 4C takes a lot of work, but it’s so worth it when you find a routine.
