My hair is I guess what you would call barely wavy. If I let it air dry, the top is quite flat and the bottom curls under a bit. With coaxing, I can get the waves and curls to show up but it definitely takes some effort. I’ve always been envious of curly hair so I’m excited that mine isn’t as flat as I always thought but I wish it was a bit curlier. Oh well; grass is always greener.
My normal routine:
- (Occasionally use Suave clarifying shampoo 1st)
- Not your mother’s curl talk bond builder shampoo
- Conditioner version of the same, during which I comb out any tangles
- AG1 curl enhancer spray, I forget the real name
- AG1 gel mousse on my roots up top
- AG1 gel serum(?) on the rest of my hair
- style with the BounceCurl brush, hair still sopping wet
- scrunch, plop sometimes
- diffuse
Lately I think I need a firmer gel. My hair is growing out and the weight makes everything limp. But I’m starting to think that shorter layers don’t give my wide wave room to develop. So we’re always trying new things over here.
I usually don’t bother refreshing; it comes out stringy. So I just brush it out a bit and most of the wave disappears.
