Bonnets

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good bonnet? I have an issue because I can’t have them over my ears all night. It hurts so much by the morning! But- if I put the band behind my ears- every bonnet I have rides up on the back of my head/ neck area. I’m starting to think the bonnet I need doesn’t exist! Also- I have very long, thick 3A curls, so really small bonnets or wrap style bonnets tend to crush my curls at night. Please help!

Such a shame

My hair right now is absolutely awful like super frizzy and my hair is constantly falling out more often. I really want to try shea moistures low porosity shampoo and conditioner but the conditioner is out of stock! It’s only the shampoo and leave in that’s available.

What conditioner should I pair with it or should I just skip the conditioner and use the leave in?

Can I use leave in conditioner without washing my hair first?

I got a leave in but I read that you should shampoo and conditioner your hair before putting it in, is that true? I was planning on using the leave in daily but I don’t wash my hair everyday

How often should I use clarifying shampoo when using leave-ins with silicones?

So my dad (who's also curly but keeps it cropped short) re-gifted a couple leave-in products to me and I hate for things to go to waste when it's completely unused.

Silicones are high up on the ingredients list so I'll need to break the clarifying shampoo back out of storage. For the record my hair is high porosity, dyed often, and curl pattern 2C/3A.

My only question is how often should I use this shampoo, assuming I use the silicone-containing products daily? Is it once a week, every wash day, or like once or twice a month? Thanks in advance if anyone has tips 🙏

i don't know what to do with my hair can someone help please?

i've struggled with my hair a lot as a kid and so far (i just did a test) i believe i have type 2c or b hair with low porosity and high density, my current routine is just a basic shampoo where i shampoo my entire head in the first pass and in the second one i focus on my scalp and roots, i then rise it out and apply the conditioner to my ends and rinse with cold water. Normally my hair in the shower is much more curly like 2c hair but once i get out it just flattens, i don't add moose or gel and i dont diffuse, i normally dry my hair with a blow dryer and it kinda depends if i have time or not to wait for my hair to kinda dry a bit before blow drying it. i don't add any extra products at all. My hair just feels dry and frizzy all the time and gets tangled easily. Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated because i'm just stuck at this point.

Indians here with curly hair please help

So I'm just starting to do the CG Method. I have Fine 2c/3a curls. I have chosen these. Conditioner- Best Life Curl Nourish Cream- Cantu or Arata Gel- Arata I have used the Bare Anatomy Curl line before; I'd say it's definitely not the best. I'm currently confused about which shampoo to get. I am looking for something that'll last me quite a few months at least, good foaming, Not more than 1400rs.

  1. Requil Anti Hairfall
  2. Vilvah Goatmilk
  3. True Frog Shampoo
  4. Fix my curls Cleansing shampoo
  5. Mama Earth Anti Hairfall shampoo
  6. Naturalli Dandruff defence shampoo
  7. Anomaly Hydrating Shampoo
  8. Dove Curl Shampoo.

Which one should I get?

Air dry

Started letting my hair air dry because people said that was better for curly hair but I feel like my hair has gotten greasier from this? And it feels like stiffer in the back, but it does look better when it air dries. I use head and shoulders when I do shampoo and conditioner as well. I think I need a curly hair shampoo, but should I get something to put in while it dries?

So my hair suddenly transformed

I had straight hair before shaving off recently near late 2024(December 27th) and the hair I have been growing is very curly, my mother has curly hair, and I'm a 13 yr old male, i stopped using shampoo ever since going bald(used it on the same day of going bald, never since) under my dad's instructions. Am I cooked? Or is it just fine?

How do I get my hair to stop doing this?

It gets so frizzy and just sticks up. I will shampoo/ conditioner every other day, sea salt spray, blueberry curl mousse, and sometimes the olaplex hair oil. Just want the curls to be fluffy and defined not whatever this is :(

My hair looks like this. Dry and horses would mistake it for food. I condition everyday and shampoo (sulfate free) once a week (sometimes I put oils) . I use styling cream. This picture is for reference purposes only not my hair but that’s how my hairs texture is like.

How often to use Clarifying shampoo

I had fine hair that’s low porosity and I’ve started to clarify weekly, I only wash my hair once a week and then I deep condition. Is this too often ?

How to get rid of dryness and frizz?

Hi, I'm struggling with dry and frizzy hair. Currently using As I Am shampoo, conditioner and styling mousse from Nivea. When I wash it everything seems fine, but after I dry it my hair fluffs up and looks like hay. Can anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing the frizz, dryness and also what products I should buy or change.

I finally got my dreamed hair

Just wanting to share because after a 7y journey that involved trying hundreds of products and techniques I finally have the curls I always dreamed for. I have learned that no matter how many suggestions you follow your hair is unique and you must keep trying until you find what works for you. This is my expiriense and I understand it may not work thesamefor you. 1.- Innersense: I know they are not cheap but you pay for what you get, this products are top notch. I wash only my roots trying not to over wash my ends. 2-. Skala: I started using the blue (mais cachos) as deep condioner washing it off after 10m~ and the yellow (maracuja) as live in defining by sections. A little bit goes a long way. Flax seed gel: after I tried this I have never bought gel ever again. I apply it by sections right after the live in and make sure my hair is soaked. I let my hair air dry or diffuse 70%. Because my hair shrinks a lot and I like more length I stretched it and finish drying it by sections with the blow drier on low. I don't over stretch my hair is still coils but appears longer. Shake, pick comb and a little bit of castor oil. I gather it up in a pineapple and use a bonnet for sleeping. Refresh with innersense sweet sprit live in spray. Day 2 hair is my favorite. I don't need to strech my hair again. I have no frizz, very define curls for up to a week. I do this once a week but pretty sure you can go longer. This is my routine, hope it works for you. Reach out if you have any questions.
