Okay you girls with curls, whether they be natural or permed, please share your routines of caring for your curls!, and what products you use! Also, if you find an article wither a curly hair routine, post it too!
Maybe we could make this an official sticky thread? I know there are always alot of threads popping up about curly hair! I just think it would be a good idea to have a sticky about everyones routine!
My Routine:
I wash my naturally hair 2-3 times a week with a curl formulated shampooconditioner or moisturizing shampooconditioner. I always have a wide-toothed comb in the shower with me so I can thoroughly comb it thru my hair! After I rinse out conditioner, I always apply just a tad bit more of it to my hair, especially on the ends, to make it even softer and add back moisture! BTW, in between shampoos, because my hair gets so tangly, I have to rinse my hair out with conditioner daily.
To style, I first comb my hair with a wide tooth comb (or sometimes I just finger comb) and add in my part! As for products... well, I can't say which one I use, because I rotate everyday because nothing I have works! Ahem... but usually I put in Sunsilk's hydra tlc creme or their curl creme first, then apply some sort of gel or rarely mousse. I try to apply it evenly throughout my hair.
Then, to add back curl, I either scrunch, twirl my hair around my fingers, or twist them like a tootsie roll wrapper (which I found actually works pretty well for me!!). But Also, sometimes I use my fingers and 'rake' them through my hair while moving them back and forth (left and right) to create a curl pattern. All of my techniques I've gotten from reading hundreds of articles on curly hair, haha!
I never dry my hair with a diffuser because it makes my hair a big poofy frizzy mess!! So I always let it air dry - I don't wash it at night because If I let it airy dry at night it goes crazy and I hate it, So I have to wash it early in the morning. And I don't normally use hair spray, because I find it doesn't work for me!
