Regardless, there are some mistakes you might be making which are easily rectified and might help you with your curls. 1. Do not use anything like typical bottom shelf "for men" shampoo. Do not use any kind of combo shampoo/conditioner, and for the love of God, do not ever use a body bar or in any other way apply soap to your hair/scalp. Purchase some nicer hair products which are made for curly hair and will be gentle on your head and not dry it out. In a lot of stores they only seem to have this kind of stuff in the "women's" section, but it literally makes no difference. Shampoo less in general. I only "clean" my hair vs. rinse 1-3X a week depending on how much I have been sweating. Let your hair use its natural oils more and allow it to come to a more natural pH balance. You can also replace shampoo with baking soda and conditioner with apple cider vinegar, and yes these really work as well as commercial products and don't have weird chemicals in them. 2. Do not towel dry your hair. Let it air dry. If you insist on keeping it long, invest in a curly hair specific towel. You'll notice most regular towels are terry cloth, meaning the fabric is looped to absorb maximum moisture. Those loops are also great for ripping apart the curls that just came together when you got your hair wet, resulting in FRIZZ. A curly hair towel will be made of flat fabric which does less to pull apart and ruin your curls. Another alternative is a cotton t-shirt, where the the fabric is flat and smooth, so it's still better than a regular towel. If you NEED to use a towel of any kind, try tying it around your head for a few minutes to dry instead of pressing it onto your hair (you can easily tie the sleeves of a shirt around your head too). Do your part to fight frizz, because nothing will make your hair look worse. 3. Invest in after-shower hair product. Again, if frizz is an issue you experience, this is really key. While your hair is still fairly damp, work in a small amount, like the size of a dime. Do not over-style or keep running your fingers through it, just get it in there and stop touching your hair. This is the best brand I have found for my hair, and you can usually find a bottle for around 20 bucks and it will probably last you a year or longer. I have tried more expensive products but there doesn't seem to be a discernible difference in how well they work. 4. Understand that basically anything which touches your hair has the potential to break curls, which equals instant frizz. Don't run your fingers through your hair, and wear hats at your own discretion. There is no way a hat on curly hair is not going to totally fuck it up (unless it's really short), so you have to accept that. If you are into hats as an all-day investment, or if you are hiking or whatever, yeah go ahead and wear the hat. Otherwise... hats and well-cared-for curly hair are not so compatible. Even your pillowcase is probably breaking your curls. If you ever wake up and head out the door without getting your hair wet and putting product in, you might want a curly hair specific pillow case, which are made of satin or silk so there is less friction against your head. |

Basically you gotta play to your strengths and learn how to express yourself while accepting the nature of your hair and learning to treat it properly.

My hair sucks cause the curls are kind of in between. So it makes it a little harder to work with when long. I used to try and get it to go straighter back in the day, but I've kinda given up on that and more or less just embrace the insanity of it. |

like these nuances that I feel like expressing seem to go lost when I can't translate what's in my head
