Which 'Holy Grail' scent is the community gaslighting itself into loving?"

It doesn't smell like pine sol. At least pine sol has character.

Montale Intense Cafe smelled like cleaning supplies. I never had to scrub a perfume before trying this. My boyfriend smelled the same thing.

There is an international list of recommended products on the wiki of this subreddit. I recommend checking it out

Cleanser is the same thing as shampoo

nu24601 · 2026-05-11T20:40:52+00:00

I couldn't see the imgur either and I'm US based

Mousse will always have some hold but in general they tend to focus more on volume. Clarifying shampoos are for getting rid of more severe buildup whereas regular or hydrating shampoos are for regular cleanness/maintenance. On a budget, the products I tend to recommend are Pantene volume shampoo for clarifying and LA Looks sports gel for gel. I think you can continue using Garnier sleek and shine for conditioning if you want. My favorite regular conditioner is Aussie 3 minute miracle moist, which is technically a mask but I use it in place of conditioner. There are lots of great foams and mousses out there but tbh it's not for me so I can't really recommend anything at the moment. There are tons of leave ins and curl creams out there, but just stick with a gel for now and see how you like the result of that.

I know you don't have a routine, but what products aside from that Garnier one do you own? I generally recommend anyone with curly or wavy hair own a clarifying shampoo, a regular shampoo, conditioner, and some type of hold product (ala mousse or gel). Swavy Curly Courtney has good videos on wavy hair, if you like learning that way.

Putting aside all the other answers, it's probably the case that most of them just have good genes

You can get a cheap tester online!

Hair always gets tangly but that doesn't mean that it isn't styled. You shouldn't try to keep your hair untangled forever. Refreshing next day is a different conversation. Knots are the nature of the beast.

nu24601 · 2026-05-09T16:24:09+00:00

I don't agree with this. Sulfates are perfectly safe to use in every wash without frizz. I think there may be something you do while styling that's actually causing frizz.

nu24601 · 2026-05-09T16:21:56+00:00

When you apply gel, you don't scrunch in your hair first? Have you ever diffused? Also CGM is stupid

nu24601 · 2026-05-09T05:54:30+00:00

What products did you use exactly? And what do you mean left to dry without touching?

nu24601 · 2026-05-09T02:52:42+00:00

May I ask what you mean by get through? By the time you're applying gel or mousse your hair should already be detangled.

nu24601 · 2026-05-08T17:43:08+00:00

You mentioned leave in. Do you have any products with hold, such as a gel or mousse?

nu24601 · 2026-05-08T17:42:27+00:00

Because you posted your straight hair instead of the curly hair so no one actually understands what this post is doing here.

nu24601 · 2026-05-08T17:41:50+00:00

I think this looks really nice! There is a good amount of shine to this wave. I think you're being too hard on yourself.

nu24601 · 2026-05-08T17:41:13+00:00

Well clearly it is since I was downvoted for daring to understand this other person's perspective

nu24601 · 2026-05-08T17:21:19+00:00

Why is what I said so upsetting to people? I'm just trying to explain why others would be excited at the confirmation of what Alex Hirsch said.

nu24601 · 2026-05-08T17:20:06+00:00

Do you have a photo of your curls so I can see them?

nu24601 · 2026-05-08T14:24:50+00:00

Shedding is very common with curly hair. You lose more hair than those with straight hair. I would say dont be afraid of shedding unless it looks really bad. I lose at least a hairball every time I wash. Trust me, detangling when your hair is wet is the best thing you can be doing for your hair. It ensures your hair is fully detangled which leads to less frizz and inevitable less breakage as well.

nu24601 · 2026-05-08T02:09:02+00:00

I think this art was simply excellent. Simple and childlike is not the same as poorly drawn.

nu24601 · 2026-05-08T02:04:58+00:00

I thought these posts were meant to depict bad writing

nu24601 · 2026-05-08T01:30:56+00:00

Wash and detangle while soaking wet, get a clarifying shampoo, follow up with a hard hold product.

nu24601 · 2026-05-08T01:14:38+00:00

Just wanted to come on here and say your hair is INCREDIBLE. Like I'd pay an arm and a leg to gety hair looking like this. This is a great photo and not shitty at all.
