Bulk Shampoo/conditioner recommendations

I would love some recommendations for shampoo/conditioner for curly hair that comes in larger sized bottles. I’ve tried a few different brands but they all only come in smaller bottles

Affordable products for a newby?

Hii, I’ve been continuously told by other people (i.e. hair stylists, coworkers, friends, family etc) to try a curly routine because of how my hair gets wavy to curly-ish when it gets wet/damp, and because how frizzy it is when it dries and is brushed out!

I’m just wondering what kind of affordable products I can use because I’m a teenager who doesn’t want to spend much incase it either doesn’t work or I just don’t like it.

Also if anyone has any routine suggestions (can be personal or youtube or whatever) that would be so great!

Curly Hair tips

im a 17 year old (m) im finally able to get my first job soon, i have literally no clue what to do with my hair at all, for most of my life my dad told me what to do up until like 6 or 7 years ago, id just pulverize my hair and scalp with a towel, and after that i was insecure about my curls, so i just wore a beanie everyday.

ive buzzed my head twice now and my hair has always been super thin since then, i dont wanna end up bald by 20 so if theres any tips or product reccomendations (even just stuff to start out with) that would help a lot.

for reference all i know to do is (double shampoo, rinse it upside-down, then condition only my ends, and i let my hair air dry) other than that im clueless, im in dire need of some assistance lol

EDIT: If theres any hair styles for men you know by name you could reccomend to take weight off the top of my head id appreciate it, ive always just let it grow and do its own thing

How to wear a bonnet/plop with short hair?

I've got 3a/2c curls and it's chin length. I finally figured out how to plop with a shirt correctly and my longer hairs are so nice! And I used a bonnet for a while as well but the results were always bad.

The hairs at the base of my neck/ears always end up straight. They are basically upside down and look awful. This is after plopping after washing or after sleeping with a bonnet. Whenever I do my hair I have to do it twice so that they'll curl but my top hairs can still be plopped.

I don’t know what technique to do so I can still plop my hair but not ruin the shorter hairs.

2B trying to go curly

I’ve got low porosity, wavy hair (closer to straight on top but closer to curly at front) and I was wondering if it was possible to go curly (low to mid 3s) if so what routine would people recommend. Any help appreciated!

Semi curly hair. Need help with moisturising and overall hair health to avoid later hair falls.

I am 20 years old male, and I've been experiencing hair dryness as winter approaches. I'm concerned about my hair health because dry hair can lead to hair fall. I'm looking for a hair moisturizer and a product that promotes overall hair health over time. I have also been taking fish oil to support my hair health.

Hair fall

Hi I (21F, indian) have been following cgm routine more than 2.5 years. But since the start of this year, I've noticed I'm losing more hair than I normally do while washing my hair and detangling. I was told by some doctors that it may be due to low iron levels, but since then I've taken medication for that plus I've always had low iron levels but never this level of hair fall. Now almost a year later it feels like I have less than half the hair I used to. I use castor oil on my hair biweekly. I use a hair mask most washes with shampoo and conditioner that are all sulphate free. I've tried changing 1 or 2 products that I thought caused it but no luck. When I started doing cgm I didn't use a lot of products like curl cream or leave in, and had good curls. But now even with products, my hair are really flat at the crown, curls don't last and constant hair fall. I also get my hair trimmed regularly. If anyone has gone through this please give me any tips, I'm really worried about my hair lol.

PS: I have med-low porosity hair ig cause they dont take that long to dry but hair closer to scalp takes a while, and use plum avocado shampoo-mask-conditioner, and arata/true frog leave in conditioner. They do get frizzy real quick.

Edit: I also feel like I have ok amount of hair on top(still less than before) but they get really thin at the ends

hair routine for boyfriend

so my boyfriend has curly hair and he's really proud of it, but the only problem is he doesn't know how to take care of it, he is the only one in his family with this hair type (i would say he is a 3b or 3c?) so he never learned how to take care of it, i also have no experience with curly hair so i would really appreciate some product suggestions he already uses shampoo and conditioner for curly hair and his biggest problem is that his hair get really frizzy just after 2-3 days after washing, he is also really lazy 🥲 so just something low maintenance if possible

product recs for 2c waves?

hi everyone! since it's almost christmas time i need some good wavy hair products i can wish for ^^

i'm rocking the frizzy, low porosity, fine, rather low density, split ends, dandruff, parched and damaged 2c waves currently but i'm definitely looking to get better at caring for my hair.

i would want products that moisturize, combat frizz, add hold to curls/waves, make the hair feel thicker, add volume and lasts!

since i haven't tried a lot of products i'm not sure if my hair easily gets weighed down or not, like it's quite fine but still very thirsty. i currently just have basic shampoo and conditioner, regular tangle teezer and on occasion i'll use a hair mask but y'all my hair is DRY

anyways i'd be so grateful for any product recs! mostly looking for budget friendly stuff but i'm open for any suggestions!

Thinking of getting a buzzcut to regrow my curls

So in Dcember year, I got a styled haircut; shaved the back of my head, and got a angled bob look. Essentially, I looked like this:

https://preview.redd.it/hnbnrqju823e1.png?width=986&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc91c09893ca356a237da376eb56796573df4dea

However, my hairstylist kinda messed up on the April redo, so now the longer parts of my hair are quite stringy instead of the nice tight curls I had when she first cut it last December (in the same style). Over the past couple months I have noticed how the longer parts of my hair are stringy and frizzy (no matter how many products I use) but the shaved parts of my head are growing back in tight, thick curls...this had got me considering whether I should shave my head and regrow all my hair from scratch to get the curls back all over my head. I'm mainly curious about this as I used to have corkscrew curls as a child, but when I was in my tweens I got my hair relaxed and since then I have a mismatch of curly hair and wavy hair, and feeling the back of my (previously shaved) head makes me want to go back to full on thick curls.

If I don't shave it all off, can anyone give me some product tips on what I should use to get my longer strands of hair back to tight curls?

Hair advice:/

my hair is very curly on the underside of my hair and more wavy and frizzy on the outer part. my hair is very thick but ive been told its also very fine. i straightened it for years but am trying to get it to what it is supposed to be. i like to straighten it occasionally still but i feel like it kills my hair every time even if its not often. i have tried a bunch of different shampoos and conditioners including shea moisture and i was very sad when it didnt really work for my hair and my hair felt really gross after using it and i would have to wash it every day so it wouldnt look greasy. any advice on a shampoo and conditioner or hair care regime that would help? still want to be able to straighten it sometimes but mainly like to keep it curly or just unstyled.

Need help with finding new products

So this past year Ive been struggling with my curls because I ran out of this product line I was using for like 3 years (they went out of business). I mainly used the their conditioner and curl cream which had a milk consistency. I was just curious if anyone had recommendations based off some pictures of the products I used. Also I think they worked well for me because they were super light weight and didn't weigh my curls down at all. Thanks in advance!!! (the brand name was “theorem.”)
