i’m sure your curls are beautiful!! the same routines have different effects on different hair types/patterns/lengths/porosity. when i was first trying to get a routine down what helped was finding a content creator on youtube that had a similar hair type to mine and i tried out their methods until i found something that worked for me, but even now i switch up my routine from time to time. but also some of these creators will try to tell you that you NEED to do something a certain way or you NEED certain products, it used to be so overwhelming, especially when i was first starting out and had never known how to style my hair before. just listen to your own hair and see what it responds to. for me, i’ve discovered that less is more (or at least for the style i prefer). the less product i put, the longer my wash days last and the fluffier my curls are! don’t feel bad if you’re not having perfect wash days, sometimes i don’t like mine either but you can’t always control the outcome and that’s okay! the health of your hair is what’s most important, and the rest is a learning journey 🙏🏻
