How to deal with 2 different hair types

Context : Before I started my natural hair journey I was dumb dumb, never liked taking care of my hair so I just relaxed/texturized it and now I wanna be natural, so the hair around my Roots is low porosity and thicker, and the hair around my mids and ends is high porosity and a little finer than the top.

My routine is pretty straight forward : Shampoo (Aunt Jackie's power wash grapeseed shampoo and Shea moisture low porosity conditioner)

Styling products : Curlsmith Strengthening foam + African pride curl cream + curlsmith In-Shower style fixer gel (extreme hold)

Whatever I do the top is always frizzy and everytime I look at it, it makes me wanna damage my hair again to make it easier to style.

Any tips on how to make the top look better will be appreciated and products recommendations would be good too.

Long hair, thin hair.

I see so many posts of people on here with amazing thick, voluminous hair. For girls/guys with hair on the finer side what do you do to help with hair thickness? My hair is doing a lot better and getting longer but it’s not very thick.

Is there anything I can do or is it genetics?

Which straightener is best for type 4 hair

Hi everyone,

Im planning on silk pressing my hair this month in order to cut it and just enjoy my length. I silk press my hair maybe once a year and my current straighter is very bad, so I would love some advice on which straightener I should use in order to get a really good silky silk press.

Thanks in advance.☺️

Breakage in my crown

Does anyone have any recommendations to grow my hair back in my crown? I’ve had breakage due to tension from putting my braids in ponytails too much.

I’m also going to be taking a break from braids for a while, if anyone has any other protective styles recommendations that won’t break my hair off please recommend!

Untwisted Twists

How do I get my hair to stay like this after washing it? I just took down my hair after leaving it twisted for about a month and I like the look of untwisted hair. After I wash it, it looks less defined and I usually keep it in an afro. I basically want this look or similar

Are there any similar products to this for styling?

I've been using this product for a while and the way it makes my curls pop is amazing for detangling! This and the umbrush combo 😩💜 I can't. I've never been able to do a wash and go with something like gel or moose.. maybe I'm using the wrong prouducts?

Is there something similar to African Prides pre poo but as a styler for something like a wash n go? (Low porosity if that matters)

Questions about a steamer again.

Is facial steamer safe to use on hair? I’ve seen people doing that method on Tiktok lmao and wanna try it. The clothes method that I use for steam doesn’t work on my hair and always became cool that fast when I use another plastic bag. Idk if I need a steam cap because it is only for deep conditioning, plus ppl told me that steam cap is too weak. I only want to steam just to using moisturize products like lotion or define moisture products. And yes I do have a Deep conditioner. And someone told me to steam 7-10 days but idk if it just too much for me because I had to stop using hair products so I have to listen to my doctor about a scalp irritation and traction alopecia.

Nighttime and weekly hair routine

Ok so I recently took out my locs and I’m back to wearing my natural hair. I have 4c hair and I used to braid up my hair every night before the locs, but watching other 4c hair girls or just girls with natural hair in general they don’t do this? Is it okay to just sleep straight on my hair as long as it’s moisturized? Will my hair become matted the next morning or tangled? Also what should be a good routine throughout the week until my next wash day? Is it okay to just wet it every day and that’s it?

french curls !!

hi !! basically i'm going to a comic con in cosplay for my birthday and think that french curls are the most suitable style for the character I'm doing. but I only got the normal, pre-stretched synthetic brown extensions for myself that aren't french curls and im not sure how to curl them without an ordinary iron. i got some foam flexi rods from the shops but I don't know if I could put them in hot water or not. any advice would be appreciated! thanks :)

Hairstylist burned my partner's scalp, what can I do?

I am on the phone with my partner, and she just came out of the salon to get her 4C hair silk pressed. She's saying her scalp is burning after leaving. She's saying the stylist kept pushing the flat iron on her scalp in numerous spots. What is she supposed to do now?

Tips for diffusing?

I have tight curls/coils and thick hair. I don't mind shrinkage but i do like volume/body.

Whenever i see people diffuse their hair, its usually fine and their curls are very loose when wet. They often hold their head over and hold the diffuser to their head but my hair doesn't take much to shrink. I hope you understand what i mean.

How can i diffuse my hair to achieve max volume? My hair cut is a taper like shape. Thank you :))
