Thank you so much @slipsilkpillowcase 🖤 & @influenster ✨ for gifting me this amazing silk sleep mask! 🥰

Here's my review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was so excited to get the this Slip Black 🖤 Contour Sleep 😴 Mask from Influenster ✨ to try! It's absolutely luxurious! 😮 It's made from 100% mulberry silk and it's so soft! The interior is contoured specifically to fit long delicate eyelashes! 👁 It also blocks out the light very well! 🩷 My teenage daughter and I took turns shining a flashlight through the eye patch because she wanted to see if the light came through and it blocked it very very well!💡 It's hard to sleep with something on your face but this really didn't bother me at all. It felt lightweight and when I woke up my eyelashes were still perfect! 🥰 This is my first product from Slip and I literally cannot wait to try the next one!😍 I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review! ⭐

These skinny scrunchies from @slipsilkpillowcase provide a sturdy hold and don’t cause breakage or tear at my hair. The black color is versatile and goes with many outfits. Available at Ulta and Sephora.

@influenster #complimentary #slipsilk


I really love Slip hair ties because the soft silk material doesn’t cause breakage or pull at my hair when I take them out. They hold hair securely yet gently, without leaving annoying creases. With their beautiful, elegant design, they are perfect for everyday use. It’s a small item, but truly a worthwhile investment for healthy, beautiful hair!

Fun fact: Wearing a sleep mask can help block out light and support deeper, more restful sleep by encouraging your body’s natural melatonin production. 😴

This is the only process that actually works to curl my stick straight, think hair.


I tried so many heatless curling tools and i wish i bought this one earlier. It looks like i have used a curling iron. I love it!!!


Handle with Curl Heatless Curling Set


Excellent and cheap product! All recommendations!


really hard to hold together, it kept slipping from my head and in general wasnt very secure. the look in the end was nice, but it annoys me that i have to ask someone to help me

I love air drying my wavy hair and so far it has been working pretty well for me. My main concerns are:

\- keeping it short and simple while reducing frizz and defining wavy hair

\- currently i takes my hair 2-3 hours to dry which is OK for me but it's super hot summer rn... I worry what I will do in wintertime so if anyone has tips on how to cut back on drying time I'm all ears!! I feel like using foam instead of gel helps but what else can I do? I just need "good enough" hair

My hair : not sure if coarse or fine? i suspect medium or fine, high density medium to low porosity hair

My routine as of now

\- Shampoo roots: Maria nila head and heal

\- Condition lengths: Langhaarmädchen, Langhaarspülung

\- Rake through leave in on soaking wet hair (Langhaarmädchen Detangler)

\- Use gel or foam (either soaking wet or wet enough that it still squishy, praying hands and scrunch) - UG scrunching jelly or invisibobble volume foam

\-Plop or micro plop

\- scrunch in some more gel or foam (same ones like above)

\- air dry

sometimes I refresh and I use a bonnet at night!

Tl;dr please share some tips on air dry routines that are simple and dry relatively quickly!

Looking for an easy airdry routine that works in fall/winter


In attempting to get better definition in my hair, I’ve made my definition worse. I’ve always had a halo but I’ve got every type of frizz on board now (halo, cobwebs, wet, dry, surface).

My hair was so tangly this morning, I wet it down in shower and used the Trader Joe’s shea butter and coconut oil deep conditioning hair mask. I did some squish to condition and tried to rake with tension. My hair stayed tangly and I couldn’t make clumps.

Photos:
First picture is my hair hanging to the side when wet out of the shower. Second picture is my hair flipped over when wet out of the shower.
I didn’t like how dry my hair felt and put a smidge of Mielle pomegranate & honey leave in conditioner, and then added a small amount of ag styling cream with praying hands as my hair kept ballooning.
Third picture is my hair flipped over when wet 30 minutes out of the shower. Fourth picture is my hair hanging to the side 30 minutes after shower. I tried a new microfiber headband today to replace small clips when air drying.
Fifth picture is my hair flipped over three hours later when mostly dry. Sixth picture is my hair hanging to the side when mostly dry.
Seventh and final picture is a side braid/giving up.

Requests:
I think protein products may be a primary culprit, but I’d appreciate help to “untangle” the issue/confirm. Insight into my hair, the care it needs, and advice on exiting this downward spiral would be especially helpful.

I’d also love suggestions on how to keep learning and experimenting once I’ve stabilized. If your hair is/was similar, have you found a routine that gives you definition lasting two or more days? Or did you decide definition might not be in the cards for this type of hair and/or change your goal?

Recent journey/ impulse purchases:
I got a haircut and didn’t see the improvements I usually do in curl definition after losing the hair length/ weight. I was then virtually influenced to try many new products/techniques from a couple of curl stylists and consultants, including:
\- Using hair bonnet diffuser with cool air and short bursts of warm air (gave up after 30 minutes and my hair was still wet)
\- Clarifying with Malibu un do goo and hair mask
\- Styling with bounce brush dupe on soaking hair and damp hair
\- Using product on every section
\- Using protein products like nym bond building curl talk shampoo and conditioner
\- Using only lightweight products like nym anti-frizz aura boost shampoo and nym kids curly care conditioner

Context:
\- Sleep on silk pillowcase
\- Live in hot and humid climate
\- Often have my hair up in invisibobble ponytail because I don’t like it on my face
\- Otherwise my hair is halfway up with a small claw clip
\- Typically wash 1-2 times a week without roots ever becoming oily
\- Strongly prefer to air dry after plopping in a microfiber towel or scrunching with microfiber towel
\- My hair still takes a couple of hours to air dry after
\- Don’t get a cast even when using strong gel
\- No heat tools or hair coloring
\- Rely on wax stick recently to tame halo and get out of the door

Help me untangle pls


I got 2B/2C high porosity hair and I haven't used heat since 2020. Also they're not dyed or bleached.

I had long hair and I got a haircut and now it's a few inches bellow my shoulders. In it's natural state it requires a lot of effort to keep it frizz free, especially in the back (I sleep in satin pillowcase but still). I don't like it much how it looks when it's in this length. Routine: I use Shea moisture products. I have a curl activator from Canty, an eco styler gel that doesn't do much and an invisibobble mousse that I like. When I straighten I just put the heat protector for styling.

So the past week I began straightening it when it dries out after washing and then the next days I re-do some strands that have gotten wavy or need touchup for any reason. I want to straighten it until it reaches my previous lenght. I know it will take about 2 years. The thing is that I used to straighten it a decade ago in my teens, on a daily basis in the highest heat I could without heat protect ant and it wouldn't grow because the ends kept breaking off. I am scared this will happen again. I use a heat protection spray now and I straighten it at max 320⁰F / 160⁰

Entered a straightening phase


I always knew I had wavy/curly hair but around two months ago I decided to finally just let my hair be the way it is naturally. I’d say my hair is like a 2b 2c 3a kinda thing, when I do a good job at styling it. (I put pictures for reference I don’t have any good ones tho)

I started a routine:
1. wash hair two times with the neqi moisture mystery
2. conditioner (Jean and len smooth me now keratin conditioner)
3. let hair sit in towel for like 5 minutes before flipping all my hair upside down and putting a moisture leave in conditioner in my hair (German brand, people on tiktok say it’s good and I like it too) the brush my hair
4. got2b curl mousse (it’s called lockmittel in German)
5. heatprotectant that also gives a lot of hold by invisibobble
6. hair gel for curly by Bali curls
7. diffuse head over (as close to 180 degrees as I can get) (I put my hair into the diffuser thingy all at once because my hair is quite thin and I also had an undercut that I’m currently trying to grow out)
8. scrunch out with oil

Now my problem:
I dry my hair the way I do because it gives me the most volume and looks the best this way from all the methodes I’ve tried so far.
However no matter what I do the hair at the back of my head is always straight and I basically have to make it wet and diffuse all over again because it looks aweful otherwise. (Picture for reference when its freshly dried)
Also I have to wet and diffuse my lengths in the morning because I can’t make them stay over night. I don’t sleep with a bonnet because i try to live vegan and I have yet to find a good vegan bonnet, any recommendations are welcome (but keep in mind that I’m from Germany)

Does anyone have any tips for me on how I can resolve the problems? It’s really frustrating me and I want to shave my hair off after every wash 🥲

Also thinking of looking for a hairsalon that can give me a nice curly cut

Trying to figure out how to do my hair properly


Started using the Bread hair oil this week and my curls have never been better looking or feeling. my original routine was Pattern Leave In then Curl Gel but adding THIS at the end has made my hair so happy! This is how it looks right after I woke up and I’m in shock that it stayed this defined through the night.

With damp hair, I applied the leave in, then the curl gel.  I finished with the oil, let it air dry and then put in an invisibobble and went to bed. Woke up to perfection!

Life Changing Oil


All I did was put a single loop of an invisibobble around a portion of hair

Routine:

-Wash/condition every 3-4 days w/ MONDAY
-Co-wash on 2nd/3rd day
-use LA blue gel daily

Thoughts on the half-up half-down?


Always wanted to grow out my hair and see what it would look like, but I’m at a point where I don’t like the direction it seems to be headed and debating on what to do next. Open to both styling and cutting advice. Also, if there are any stylists you would recommend in South Florida I would be open to it.

For a bit of context, I use to do an undercut with enough length to have curls on top with a skin fade on the sides. I was trying to grow it out to have Mark Ballas hair, but I’m thinking I might get frustrated and cut it before I make it there.

Routine:
Curlsmith Curl Quenching Conditioning Wash
Curlsmith Essential Moisture Conditioner (S2C)
Curlsmith Hold Me Softy Style Balm
Curlsmith In-Shower Style Fixer

After my conditioner is rinse I glaze the style balm with soaking wet hair, then Gently scrunch to work product through. Then I do the same with the gel. I use the perfect hair care towel draped over my back and shoulders while doing skin care. Gently micro plop/scrunch with the towel and air dry.

Currently pulling it back with Invisibobble and Bobby pins or wearing a ball cap with all hair pushed back.

Looking for Styling Advice


Day 2 curls (washed and styled last night).

Hi fellow curlies,

First off, I love this subreddit and it's been a greatly educational resource for me as I've been investing more time and effort (and $$) into taking care of my hair over the last few months.

I got a great curly cut in the beginning of July and I am generally happy with the progress I've made. But I still feel like my curls are a bit limp and lack definition. They're also frizz prone but I think I have that decently under control.

I have essentially "virgin" hair since I've never dyed or processed it. Pretty sure I have normal porosity (hair bounces back when stretched) I've considered adding highlights because my hair is so dark that the curls just blend in with each other but I'm not sure I want to start dying my hair.

I'd appreciate any feedback or advice on my current routine (see below) that would result in better definition and longevity. Thanks in advance!

Routine (from Manes by Mel):

Wash: Curlsmith Shine shampoo
Condition with EVA NYC Therapy Session
AG Fast Food leave in conditioner
AG Recoil curl cream
AG Liquid Effects gel
Brush style with denman brush
Diffuse dry
Finish with Verb ghost oil

About once a week I'll use Bumble and bumble Sunday shampoo to clarify.

I sleep with my hair tied up with an invisibobble on a silk pillowcase.

Morning refresh:
Add water with hands to lightly rewet (not direct spray)
Scrunch in AG curl mousse
Finish with Verb ghost oil

How do I get more definition so my curls "pop"?

Curly safe drugstore mousse in germany/europe. A list.


Hi! Thank you for clicking! I am desperately in need for help with my curls and I hope you can help me and prove me with some advice. I have provided pictures as well.

The backstory:
February 2022 I got my first keratin treatment, bc I didnt know how to care for curly hair. I am convinced there was relaxer mixed with it, because my curls never came back.

October 2022 I got another keratin treatment, becauze my grow-out was curly and the rest of my hair was straight which made it difficult to style. This is something that I have insanely regretted.

My hair was SO dry, brittle and kept breaking off. I could not do anything with it.

June 2023 I cut my hair short and July 2023 I got micro-ring 26 inch curly hair extensions.

It is now more than a year later and I still have the extensions.

At the salon, I kept getting my own hair cut shorter and shorter to get rid of my straight ends.

Now I have gotten rid of the keratin-treated ends and I finally have my curls back.

However, I am facing another major challenge: the top of my hair is very, very damaged.
I have bought hair scissors from shein and regularly cut off any breakage/split ends I see on the top of my hair. I will add a picture of this breakage as it looks very weird. The entire top of my hair is like this.

The bottom of my hair looks and feels very healthy, but the top of my hair is such a mess. Even when I style my entire hair, the top is always just a frizzy mess.

My routine:
Before I wash my hair, I grab a spray bottle and wet my hair and apply olaplex n.3 to it (I dont put this on the extension hair). I leave this for 10 minutes and then shower.
Shampoo: redken hair cleansing cream shampoo
Hair mask: difeel rosemary & mint hair mask
Leave-in conditoner: pureology color fanatic multi-tasking leave-in spray
I usually apply the leave-in, wait for about 5 minutes and then put my hair in a microfibre hair towel
Styling creme: aunt jackie’s curl la la creme OR camille rose curl love moisture milk leave-in

This is usually it on wash day. My hair doesnt really get oily so I don’t wash my hair more frequently than once a week.

I cant really wear my hair loose as it is very obvious where my extensions start, my hair doesnt really blend well with the extensions. So usually I will do a half-up half-down hairstyle and put in a claw clip. Or I will put in a low pony and use an invisibobble for this. When I am in a rush, I sometimes do this while my hair is still wet. I think that that is about once a week.

On a non-wash day, I will wet my hair and apply the sheamoisture curl enhancing smoothie to it, then finger-coil the top part (leave-out) of my hair. I apply more product to the leave-out of my hair than to the rest of my hair, as I feel it needa to be tamed more.

Before wash day I will usually put my hair in a low pony. I grab style-x icon aloe vera oil styling gel and mix it with got2b glued water resistant spiking gel and apply this all over the top layer of my head. However, for the past few months I have stopped doing this altogether as I have learnt gel can be quite damaging.

Before going to bed, I apply Camel Glow hair oil to the ends and put my hair in two braids. I then put on a satin bonnet.

Please tell me if there is anything in my routine that can be improved. I am a student and my extensions are really expensive to maintain on top of my other costs of living. I would love to just ditch the extensions and continue life with my own hair. I just need it to grow a bit more and be healthier 🥹

I also try to be consistent and use rosemary water on my scalp, but for the past few weeks I havent been able to do this unfortunately because school has been a lot (I study aviation).

Any help or tips will be majorly appreciated. ❤

Help me and my damaged curls please!


Looking to do more updos as I grow out my shag. I have silk scrunchies and invisibobble for ponies and messy buns, but wondering what to do for smaller chunks of hair, like two low buns. I think I should skip those tiny clear elastic bands (the disposable ones) that I always end up cutting out due to fear of damage. What do you folks like to use that isn’t damaging?

Best hair ties for updos, fine hair


Edit.  I am still curious about how much styler (and what one) and how strong of a vast is desirable..

BUT  i (think) i fixed the problem.  I missd that Amika had dimethacone in it & my hair hi the 'had enough' point.

Clarifying with Malibu hard water hadn't done anything, so i did a reset wash with Neutrogena with sulphates (3x) and then a deep condition with GVP Biolage knock-off.
It has no oils and such.

The curls look much better. Still a tad off, but that might just be the gel..

But Whew!!!

I TOTALLY looked like a combo of over moisturized yet under moisturized hair.

Original.

All the instructions seem to be written for your average hair. The Nerve😀

When a gel says No Cruch styler (mop to, curl smith, Ouidad)... The cast is supposed to be crunchy, right?

I have very fine, low density, lower/low porosity 2bc3a sits just above the shoulders shag.

My biggest challenge is curl in my bang.  My hair sticks to my scaly & so the curls wont form.

It wets and dries quickly, but stylers slide off if I use a towel to 'soak up extras'.

I don't know how much styler i 'Should' be using.  *Help* I probably use 3-4 nickels on my hair & 6 marshmallows of AG Mousse Gel smastered in.

*I assume my hair should be stiff enough if i hold it horizontal that it doesn't droop much?*

Most advice is to use a light foam and to not product your roots with my hair type.

I think as my curls aren't 'locked' well natutally...

That that is not anything Close to enough hold for my hair.  The clusters i get will fall apart.

If i have no gel on the roots, my hair is going to be flat

I know that i need a styler without butters & oils that has slip (bye bye the In-Shower-Style CS test kept pushing).  A few have No Slip for me like the aforementioned  & Jessicurls Spiraliscious.

I have MopTop strong hold for curly coily, Ouidad harder hold Climate Control, Hi Definition, my FSG, AG Mousse Gel that i have been reaching for.

I LOVE the Virtue  curl line. Havent tried the gel or butter, but the line heals hair, 23% thicker in one shampoo & other stuff.
Www.virtuelabs.com (at ulta & Sephora).
It lasted me a year with 2-3x per week.
SERIOUSLY if you have fine or daged curls this is the GOAT, but good for all hair.

I find that i need to put on some curl whip on really wet hair.

Then I get out of the shower & still soaking start lifting & letting it fall amd giving some patts on the bottom to get it to turn.  I might finger coil a few pieces & seperate a lot of others.

Then I take a towel or mf gloves an microplop.

Then I take gel in my hand mixed with water for Apply Wet products & either scrunch & pulse or flip-coat-scrunch.

I have to keep that mister bottle going so that things dont dry too fast.

I sometimes section the temples up off and do that last, even after giving the rest a short blast of air to start setting it.

I try not to scrunch diffuse after setting it or i get wonky stuff.

Midway if it doesn't seem like j have enough hold, i smasters some mousse.

When dry i sotc (often with the dryer to add volume).

If my cast broke really badly, i might lightly mist and then double dry (not my favorite for damage, but it does give volume and can set it up a few days.

If I need hight or setting my bang & crown, i used Boldify powder root lift.  It sort of makes the area grippy so you can keep lift & manipulation.

At night i put it in two low pigtails with the mini invisibobble. I wear an eye mask that secures around the middle of my hair and keeps it off my face.  Some hard hold hairspray on its own or first really helps too.  No other styling protection worked.

I side sleep on a silk pillow

Fine, lower Density folk especially... how stiff is your cast? What & how much styling products do you use? What styling methods do you prefer, why? I Always put product at the roots.


I hope this helps someone, i really struggled but figured this out a few mos ago

I have really fine pretty low density 2bc3a hair.my curls like to fall apart.

I have been CG about 2.5 years.

My hair is low porosity, but it would not meet any of the lo-po tests because it is so fine, but it has some of the same problems with  product sliding off. Manes by Mel does a thing on it and the ranking us 1-5.  I had my hair microscoped twice & both agreed.

1)
First, if you can afford it, Virtue shampoo and conditioner. The Curl Whip isn't too heavy.
I have a post on why i love it.
Even if you just get the conditioner. 23% thicker hair in one use.  My salon just had the shampoo and conditioner.   It lasted me a year.

It COMPLETELY changed my hair... I don't just think it is good for fine hair, it is good for All Hair.

(I think i use a different routine, but this is why i love virtue).
https://tinyurl.com/VirtueIsTheBomb

I could barely condition my hair before.

2)
I use Evolvh Ultra Repair mixed with Curl Rehab.  Those (especially evolvh) dont weigh my hair.  They have enough conditioning that I don't need to follow with a moisture one (that ends up BAD).

3)
My hair just isn't dense enough to clump well, unless i want 3 ringlets

4)
If i put on all my stylers and brush them through, my curls won't reach max potential.

5) I need a very Hard Hold Gel.  I am liking Mop Top gel for curls (not the custard).

I look for ones that dont have many oils or butters.  I also like Treluxe Hi Definition & My FlaxMax DIY gel.  AG Mousse-Gel can be good to add in during your routine.

6)
If i try brush styling my hair it just doesn't work out. It breaks up any clumps that are forming.

7)
Even though my hair is low porosity, it is so fine it dries super fast.  So I keep wetting it with a misting sprayer as i style.

SO,   what i do:

In the shower with very wet hair i add a small amount of AG Recoil and squish and rake.
Then i ad a generous pump of HiDefinition and do the same. I like the slip. Sometimes i use my FlaxMax.
(I do brush or comb those through).

I try to squish out a good bit of the water

I get out of the shower & throw in my night shirt.

I rake through my hair, lifting it up and away from my scalp.  It will start to curl a bit.  If it needs water on the ends, i use it.

After doing that, i will lean to one side and then break any clumps bigger than a spaghetti noodle.  If something is wonky, i finger coil it.

I take my towel & dampen it. (Scrunchit makes some gloves that are nice, i use those or a Perfect Hair Towel) then as i lean i gently take sectons of curls and push them towards my head and then Pulse.  I dont go crazy or things will fall appart.

Once i do this all over (if my hair starts drying too much i mist it) i use a hard hold gel and flip/coat/scrunch.  I mix the gel wih some water because they ar usuall for soaking hair.

If i use product on soaking hair, the towel will pull  it off & my hair is too wet to absorb any, also the product will keep my curls and waves frim forming well.

I use about 5 nickels total on my shoulder length hair.

Then upright (i dont scrunch upside down except my bangs)  i rearrange or finger coil anything crunked.

I use med-high heat  low air and lean gently collect the hair and direct it to my scalp and dry my hair about 30 sec to lock in the curls.

I do say the top right in a section that is higher & then do the underneath.

Once i have done my whole head i lean and hover diffuse. I use a spriggle pick to lift my roots as well as the prongs.

After that first round, if i diffuser scrunch my hair it gets wonky.

Half to three quarters of the way through, i see if my hair is casting... if it doesn't feel right  i glaze and scrunch in more gel or mousse.

If i have dried my hair too much/most of the way & i need to do this i just mist a tiny bit first.

When my hair is dry, i use the diffuser while i SOTC. I may get a little frizz, but i get more volume.

I like to use Evolvh Wonder Balm on it. Its is $$ but i am almost 2 years into a bottle and 2/3 is gone.

SOMETIMES my hair has not gotten enough product, or things are wonky. If i mist it a little damp, fix the wonks and scrinch in some product now, i can usually go 4 days without washing or a wet refresh.

At night.

I tried EVERYTHING i saw and it was all terrible.

Now i use a mini invisabobble and put my hair in two LOW pigtails. I sometimes put in a duckbill clip is anything is going to fall out.

If my hair was longer i would put in an extra invisibobble lower down as well.

If i use some had hold hairspray (aussie instant freeze, has alcohol) first and let it dry then i get better reults.

You can use the spray only and it acts like a hairnet. I also sleep with an eyemask and that helps keep the sides from getting messed up.

90% of mornings, i can just carefully remove the invisabobble and fluff my hair and it looks great.  Sometimes i sweat or simething and it fails.

I also sleep on a silk pillowcase.

I hope this helps.

I might  get a perm to make things easier, my hair does not like to hold the curls and this can be more effort that i remember from when i got perms, thinking i had straight hair.

a few things i have learned about my fine low density hair that might help you (including overnight)


I have very fine low density hair that is shoulder length.  It is mostly 2c3a if i use hold but stretches as the week goes. When I first started (thank you COVID) it eas a mess of mostly 2 a-s.  3rd year curlaversary coming up!

I am a side sleeper. This is not uncomfortable

I have tried EVERY technique out there buffs to bonnets to medusa and it all stretched my hair & i had to spray it wet most mornings. A bit of hairspray seems a fair trade of less damage and time...

**I have been trying the below for 3 weeks and it works.**

https://imgur.com/a/0R9H0M4

Basically you can do two things.  You can use a STRoNg hairspray with a fine mist (Aussie Instant Freeze strongest here, has alcohol)
before bed. You want it to create a net so if you pull one piece it all moves.... but it isnt Hard  I lean out and back & spray and let each side dry.  i have a sleep ma

Or you can do my favorite. (I figured it out next)

Using the duckbill clips, gently pull the sides back about where the back of your ear i s

Gently divide the hair into a low pigtail
Put a mini invisabobble around it (dont twist it tight)

I clipped my bangs. If it was one length I would use a duck bill on both sides. I would loosely make up bump I guess so that you're not pulling your roots flat. So kind of lift the roots and push them forward and then put the duck bill then.

And the reason this whole thing works is that it keeps your hair from moving around. The theory with pineappling is that you're keeping your most valuable and visible curls protected and no one is going to see anything that was stretched out underneath. However, if that doesn't work for your hair then I have found that this doesn't keep you from getting volume and it holds your hair together so that it can't be frizzed by your movements.

I think it would work on people with longer hair too. I would just use a second or third invisibobble there.

If you sleep on your back you could reinforce the back of your head with a couple of bobby pins to keep things from moving around.

I also sleep on a silk pillow case.

Some protective overnight that works when nothing else would. Hairspray. & Pigtailing


It seems like the more I try to take care of my hair, the worse it looks. A few years ago, I think I just used tresemme and loreal and my hair was silky smooth. Now I've been trying to revive my curls and it's like straw. No product seems to help. I wash my hair once a week and it's drier than when I would wash it every other day. I also can't figure out how to sleep with it because everything except braids seems to exacerbate the frizz, but braids make it kinky and wavy instead of voluminous and curly. My routine is listed below, but keep in mind that the products were just gifted to me by my sister, so I've been using them only for about two weeks. Before this, I was using Love Beauty Planet shampoo + conditioner but my hair was even drier. I used Giovanni Smooth as Silk products for a few months before LBP and I think my hair felt a lot better but still dry and frizzy.

Hair type: I believe 2c? Defined waves with spirals. High porosity (It takes 5+ hours to fully dry, and even then it still feels damp). Extremely thick. Hardly any volume on top. Gets greasy really easily. Medium/long length.

Routine:

Brush with a detangling brush right before shower.

Shampoos (switch between): Olaplex No. 4, Loreal Ever Pure Moisture Shampoo, Live Clean Apple Cider Shampoo (when I need to get rid of buildup)

Conditioner: Olaplex No. 5

Leave-in: Loreal Elvive Protein Recharge (helps detangle)

In-between washes: Not Your Mother's Beach Bach Dry Shampoo

For shine: Giovanni Frizz Be Gone (I use this like 2-3 times during the week)

Sleep: invisibobble + pineapple (this leaves my curls underneath defined but has caused SO MUCH FRIZZ and the top layer is just strings of frizzy hair, sadly). I used to do two braids and it leaves way less frizz but ruins the curls. I also use a silk pillowcase, which has not helped at all.

What am I doing wrong? Frizzy, straw-like hair, very thick hair.


or is that just a pipe dream cuz if I double loop an invisibobble it’ll still make it look kinda awkward when i take it out 😣

anyone know how to do and hold a high pony without kinks/extra frizz?


I have really long 2B hair — like almost to my butt — that’s kind of thin. I sleep on a silk pillowcase and have tried to do a pineapple bun with an invisibobble, but since my hair is so long and not super thick, it often falls out. I’m also getting nervous lately that the invisibobble will break my hair, but I don’t want a dent from another kind of scrunchie.

Any suggestions?

How do you protect really long waves/curls at night?


I've recently (within the past couple months) decided to embrace my curls and wear my hair in a more natural state instead of damaging it with heat and straightening it every day.

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on what to do with it while working out. I try to keep it off my neck and away from my face to keep sweat off the ends (my scalp WILL get sweaty, especially near my neck, there's no helping it) and so I usually resort to a pineapple/high ponytail. I use an Invisibobble and not only does it keep my hair in place during more rigorous activity but also doesn't mess with my curls once I take it out. It's great, honestly.

However, is that really the only option I have? I feel like there are times this particular style pulls on my hair near my scalp, and if I try to loosen this section of hair from being pulled back it just makes the pony sag lower on my head. I know someone with straighter hair has the option to maybe do a braid, but I don't want anything that is going to mess with my hair because I've gotten into the routine of working out in the morning, hitting my hair with some curl reviver and just letting it air dry while I do my make up before work. I don't want anything that will affect the curls or require me to brush it out.

Any tips?

PSA Ulta gorgeous hair event!!


Fairly new to the curly hair life so I'm still a little unsure of how to wear it in certain situations.

I work out pretty regularly and will switch it up between running, HIIT, strength training, spin, etc. It's all over the place but the only consistency is that I always tie my hair up.

I was using an Invisibobble (sp?) even before I started letting my curly hair do its thing because my hair is also very thick, so depending on if there was a lot of jumping in my workout the hair tie would slide down. My neck and back of my head get so sweaty when I exercise so I'm always trying to keep my hair off that part of my head.

So far, all I've seen recommended for working out is to either pineapple the hair or tie it up in a scarf. I don't have any scarfs I would really want to get so sweaty and I'm worried about pulling my hair back into a pineapple will mess up my hairline. (Honestly already starting to notice some thinning.)

Has anyone had experience with this and found any good solutions?

Hairstyles for exercising?


I have been using Madammoselle High Strength Nylon Made hair ties for many years. However, this is only my 2nd time using their 100% rubber made version hair elastics.

Packaging: Amplifies a rock & roll meets Victorian style defined by a hot pink color.

Pricing: Slightly cheaper than Invisibobble.

Durability:  This product is good. It is not perfect for me, but definitely impressed with how it holds up. I have only worn it for 2 weeks and it has already stretched quite a bit. Not a big deal, but I can’t wear it around my wrist like I normally would.

Staying power:   I wore it today through a 1 hourhome  workout and it actually held my hair up while jump roping ...quite impressive. I was disappointed that it did not work holding up a messy bun for me, which is typically what I wear all the time.

Final Verdict:  Durability, this is almost on par with Invisibobbles. I will definitely use them till I break them-which I hear is hard to do. I would be interested in seeing if any other brand holds its shape better, but would buy again for the price.

Madammoselle Rubber Made Hair Ties


So I'm pretty confident I have coarse, 2b-2c waves, and I work at a dessert place. Since it's food, obviously I have to wear a ponytail, any advice on how to keep waves/ curls from flattening out? I work there 5 days a week, and it just sucks that I have to put in all this effort to wash my hair, using stylers, diffusing and everything, only to have to put my hair up into a ponytail basically the very next day and having all that work become undone. By the way, I do own an invisibobble that I always use, if that helps anything. Is there anyway to avoid this flattening out? Are there ways I can refresh?

Ponytail Help


So, I’ve recently gotten into working out after a looong hiatus, and so of course I’ve been tying my hair up a lot. The problem is, lately my roots have been frustratingly flat when I wash/style my hair! Just flat as flat can be. I diffuse upside down. I wash it regularly (but no more often than before) and recently clarified, so I know there isn’t buildup. After I scrunch out the gel crunch, I have a liiittle bit of lift, but that deflates pretty quickly.

I’ve been trying to tie it up gently with an invisibobble, but I feel like it’s still stretching out my roots. :( People who exercise regularly, any tips? Is there a better way to be putting up my hair while working out? How do I get my curly roots back?

Does tying your hair up flatten the roots?


So I have long, thick, wavy (2a/2b) hair, and I'm looking for new ways of securely keeping it out of my face when I need to do manual work (for example I moved house recently and had to lug around a load of boxes).

I've been putting my hair in a very loose (not even twisted once, just slipped on) low ponytail with a large invisibobble, and I've noticed that I've got a lot more dry frizz and tangles at the nape of my neck than I've even seen before. I even have some split ends (only two weeks since my last hair cut!). I presume it's because my bobble comes loose and slides down my hair, disrupting my curl pattern. Would wrapping it around be better?

Getting hair out of the way for manual work?


I've been using this Madammoselle brand of hair aacessories for several years now.

Are they the best? They are good. On par with Goody & Invisibobble i would say. Expensive though.

Yes these elastics are durable, comfortable, hold the hair in place all day and - above all - do not damage our tresses! I also bought the "mini twisters' which are little scrunches from the same brand. I am really satisfied with both products and I highly recommend.   Good to use on any hair type. I have long, curly hair they hold very strongly and don’t break easily. I like this colour & also the sporty hot pink packaging of Madammoselle.

High strength nylon made hair ties by Madammoselle.


If you like elastic hair ties, and would love a combo of scrunchie & normal elastics, then  this is the perfect match for you. I have relatively curly hair, and I love the invisibobbles, but when my hair is a little on the dry side they do sometimes pull a little to hard on my hair and cause breakage. I don't have that issue with these! They are super soft and provide just as much support, plus they're on par with the current scrunchy back in style trend.

Invisibobble Sprunchie


The product that I am reviewing today is the original invisibobble hair bands. In fact, invisibobble hair bands come in different versions for a variety of hair types. But I chose to review the Original version because it is the one that I am currently using. The invisibobble hair band The Original version comes in a variety of colors, either pink or blue, and there is also a clear color. But in fact, the color does not affect its performance or usability. This item will be sold in 1 box with 3 lines and its price is 215 baht.

Its function is to use a hair band just like a normal rubber band. But what is special about it is If we use this rubber band until it is stretched We can bring it to the heat, for example. Soak a hair band in hot water or a hair dryer to shrink it. Its lifespan is much longer than it lacks on its own.

For the target audience, in fact, it can be used at all ages because the Original version can be used for all hair types, be it thin or thick hair.

I think its price is worth the performance, as this rubber band won't damage my hair as when I tighten my hair, I won't scratch the rubber band on my hair.

I give this review a rating of this product 9/10 points because one more point, I would like it to be sold individually. Since I like to lose it when I buy it in bulk. And I think the invisibobble rubber band is a great answer for many women.

original invisibobble hair bands review


Anyone have any luck with these particular invisibobble knockoffs?


So I've dabbled in CGM for a while, but never been very consistent.  I used devacurl, and dropped it when it was causing the issues that they are now being sued for.  After that I've added a ton to my dead/ doesn't work for me product graveyard, with nothing really wowing me or making much difference and I'm getting frustrated at this point!

I recently was gifted Curlsmith's transition kit, and I have been enjoying it a lot-- this looks better ( scary right??) than it has in a long while, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I can/ need to be doing.  My hair is pretty fine and feels thin ( it definitely is thinner the last few years) , 3aish, color treated and porous ( though I'm giving bleach a rest at least for a while, it never made a difference anyway).

My regular routine:

\- Wash with either NYMN pink bottle or recently Curlsmith cowash, rinse out (2-3 times a week, cool water the whole time)

\- S2C conditioner, wither NYMN pink or the Curlsmith kit stuff, leave in while I shower

\- Rinse out conditioner, especially around my scalp so it doesn't get heavy

\- Apply in shower fixer on soaking hair upside down, I do rake my fingers through some then gently squish the ends

\- Put in a turbie twist turned around backward to sort of plop

\-  Take down after 5-10 minutes, let air dry, diffuse when I need to so my hair isn't a mess at work

\- Scrunch the crunch, try to fluff it gently with a pick or my fingers right at the root but not pulling, and headbang a little to get my hair as much volume as it can. :/

\- Sleep in a sort of pineapple with an invisibobble holding it in place, but there's always pieces that fall out immediately

I will do a rice water rinse occasionally (like when I remember to-- so once in a blue moon) for protein, or after I dye my hair. I get it cut when it seems like it needs it, but there is no one who really works with curly hair in my area, and I don't think it's working for me so I am open to cutting it ( and threaten to shave it off frequently).

Please help-- I feel like I can be doing better, and I'm just stuck here, and I'm about to just give up and cut it all off.  It's starting to wear on me.

Is this the best it's going to get for my hair?


Hey, curly cuties!

I'm having an issue with my hair and I'd love to know if anyone else has struggled with this and maybe even found a work-around.

I have shoulder length 2c-3a hair that I would love to cut shorter (chin length) and/or cut some fringe. Unfortunately, however, I'm an engineering soon-to-be grad student, and that means my life involves  A LOT of ponytails. I've tried braiding, but it is very time-consuming, so I just end up throwing my poor curls into a ponytail (using a scrunchie or invisibobble). I'd love to figure out a style of hair AND a style of holding my hair back, so I can be super cute and confident while being laboratory safe too.

Thanks, loves!

Curly Style Dilemma


What I have tried:

Bonnets - hair gets flattened on one side or just flips around in the bonnet making a LOT of frizz

Pineapple - hair gets flattened on the bottom and crimped wherever the hair tie is (i have tried silk scrunchies and invisibobble - love them, but they don't work to sleep in)

Silk scarf - falls off, no matter how tight I tie it

Medusa clipping - I don't even know how to explain it but it's bad. Maybe I'm not doing it right but I've watched a dozen videos on how to do it

I have 2a-3b curls and it is shoulder length. I also have curly bangs so any tips on how to preserve those bad boys are appreciated, but it really doesn't take much for me to fix those if they look crazy.

HOW TO SLEEP WITH CURLS?


I used to use the very thin plastic bands that are invisible, but I can just imagine that they're extremely damaging for your hair ends. I transitioned to the Invisibobble Nano (telephone chord ties in miniature sizes) but they are still kinda bulky and add a weird bend to the end of my braids.

Throw me some suggestions!

How do you guys secure/tie ponytails or braids?

To keep it short, I’m at a loss for the cause of my hairs dryness, along with frizz. I want it to feel less heavy from product, and more lightweight and springy. I feel like it could be as a result of moisture, but also possible too much product/protein(?). I’ve noticed when I use too much of my protein heavy gel it gets angry as all hell, but alas it gives me amazing definition, as shown in the attached photos. Excuse my amazing photography skills. But, I’ve noticed my hair needs more product in it to maintain its curl, otherwise it ends up frizzy by the time I wake up on day 2, and doesn’t bounce back when pulled. Using a ton of product however leaves it looking, well, heavy for lack of better term. It causes my hair to be stiff in some areas and lack the weightlessness I’d really like. Which leads me to a few questions I hope I can have some input on:

•I’m almost wondering if a deep conditioning mask would do me any good, given the assumption my hair is dry as all hell. What masks should I look into? I have a feeling my hair doesn’t need A TON of protein, but is fine with smaller amounts of it.

•What can I look for that distinguishes protein frizz, from ‘I need more moisture frizz?’ From reading this subreddit I’ve generally noticed protein frizz is dry, but I’m unsure about the later

•if it’s more I should be using less product, what methods might I look into? I’m honestly quite lazy with my routine, and prefer to keep things simple. Would combing in product with a wide tooth comb help with distribution, then scrunching after to help with volume/clumping? Ideally I’d prefer a method that maximizes volume, keeps the good clumps, and doesn’t elongate my curls.

ROUTINE:

Repeated weekly

•wet hair under shower head and gently detangle clumps with fingers, trying only to separate.

•once done, apply shea moisture coco and hibiscus shampoo to hair, work into lather in hair and scalp, focusing on massaging scalp to remove any buildup. I normally use a circular motion, with my head flipped to the side, or forward based on the section I’m focusing on

•wash out everything

•gently detangle hair again with fingers, curls having become a bit disorderly after shampooing

•apply conditioner to hand, then smooth over curls, gently massaging locks to distribute conditioner. I regularly use a ton of this due to frequency of washes, but my last shower I ran out, and used I’d say around 3 diluted quarters worth. The method for this is similar to praying hands, but with one hand only

•wash body while I let conditioner sit, this tends to be around 5-10 min

•grab wide tooth comb, comb through hair and detangle properly until comb has minimal hair, and hair feels smooth (no knots when I graze my hand over it)

•wash out conditioner. Then, making sure hair is dipping wet, smooth kinky curly leave in conditioner over curls. This is done similarly to how conditioner was applied, but I focus on the underside, and sides of my hair a bit more than normal

OUT OF SHOWER ROUTINE

•carefully separate/pull apart apart hair chunks with fingers, estimating where my layers are and distributing accordingly. I tend to start at my left side then make my way to the right side of my head when doing this.

•scrunch in kinky curly curling custard, starting at right again and going around to left side of head. For the back of my head I tend to flip my head over and scrunch upwards at the back curls. Flip head up after and flip head to both sides, scrunching in a final amount to hopefully avoid any super frizz areas. I tend to go by whenever my hair feels saturated honestly

•scrunch in eco styler crystal, same method as before but I use around 3 half dollar sized amounts, one for each section of my hair (right, back, left side of head)

•scrunch in a small amount of ouidad vital curl gel/creme. I use around 2-ish quarters worth, same distribution as other gels

•plop for 30 minutes, but last shower I did for around 45~ish I’d say

•take out after, scrunch hair with t-shirt to remove excess product, then diffuse till dry. I tend to tilt my head side to side and sometimes upside own in efforts to increase some root volume. SOTC once dry of course, fluff/pick at roots to rid of crunchiness and to help with volume

For sleeping I just put it up in a pineapple with an invisibobble

I can explain what I do for refresh if needed

Recommendations for taming the frizz-explained in description


recently had a low, didn’t wash hair for 2 1/2 weeks. wore it up in an invisibobble, didn’t touch it. got put on new meds, feeling much better now and wanting to wash my hair and get the mats/dreads out...

how do i go about this? last wash i got my hair cut. so this is all healthy hair. no split ends or anything. CGM for a year 1/2.

thanks in advance.

BPD low/depression help/hair matted


I mean, I know the answer is no, but how bad is it if it does and what can I do about it?

I pineappled my hair for the first time last night. I flipped my hair forwards, gathered it all up in my hands, then with my hair still forwards I pulled it through an invisibobble. Admittedly that was pretty hard to do since my hair is so thick, heavy, frizzy and long, but it was easier to do then trying to do it standing up. I was a bit nervous sleeping and there was a feeling of tenderness that kept me awake a little, but on the whole it wasn't too bad, and my curls did look pretty good this morning!

My scalp hurt like a bitch though, my hair felt like it was being pulled in the "wrong" direction, and it took a good half hour before this feeling stopped. Is there anything I can do differently here, and if not how likely am I to be causing damage to my hair?

This is all very new to me!

Should pineappling hurt my scalp?


Yesterday I washed my hair and it air dried beautifully, but as always, when I woke up today the curls literally died. I don’t know if it’s because I sleep in a ponytail (very loose and with an invisibobble). I’m tired of my hair losing definition whenever I put it up in a ponytail, what should I do? I wonder if I should get a product with more hold? Routine will be in comments, thank you in advance!

Hair only looks good on wash day and I’m tired


I see a lot of women use it because it doesn't leave dents in the hair like usual rubber bands do. But, I'm not sure whether they're damaging to the hair or not.

Are invisibobble hair bands damaging to the hair?


Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster.

I work with special needs kids, so I have to tie up my hair a lot. I got sick of throwing away/buying new invisibobble/spiral hair ties, especially since I’m on a “let’s save the environment,” kick, so I decided to Google how to reuse them.

Turns out you don’t really need to reuse them for anything, because you can effectively un-stretch them by pouring boiled water over them!

I was pretty skeptical, but decided to try it. I boiled water in my electric kettle, threw my well-used hair tie into a small bowl, poured the hot water over it and POOF, a brand new hair tie! It literally shrinks right before your eyes. The plastic won’t melt, and it still works great. Now I regret tossing all my stretched out ones.

TLDR: Put a stretched out invisibobble into really hot water and it’ll be good as new.

Ivisibobble Life Hack


I work in a chemistry lab. I need to put my hair up every day for safety purposes (no getting around it). I just started cgm this weekend, but I know putting my hair in a high ponytail every day makes it looks like a rats nest. How do you put your hair up? Are there specific tools (invisibobble?) or styles that work better and are less damaging? I can’t do a single French braid down the back of my head and a normal braid falls out 🥴

Edited to say: I would try a normal French braid but tbh I just fail every time and my arms hurt so bad. Just thought I would see if there’s other techniques I don’t know about

Putting hair up for work techniques?!


I have fine hair, medium density, 2c-ish waves. For pineappling at night I've been using an invisibobble. I have to double it to get it to stay and half the time its loosened quite a bit by morning. Has anyone had success with the mini ones? They have fewer coils, and I'm wondering if they still work well.

Pineapple help


If anyone likes using invisibobble hair bands for pineapples, Walgreens has their version for like $3 for 4/pk in the Easter aisle by all the egg filler toys. They're for "kids" and are clear pastel with little specks of glitter. They hold my thick hair nicely for the price! Go save yourself like $15!

Invisibobble


My scalp has been really sensitive / tender / sore lately at the top back of my head (where the part ends and hair goes left or right or down). The rest of my head is fine.

It could be from
1. the small hair clips I use daily to pull the front pieces out of my face (I study in the mornings and so I’m looking down...my hair has to be at least a little pulled back). I try not to have them touch my scalp or pull those hairs too tightly but otherwise the hair just falls down because the clips aren’t really grabbing anything. I’ve never has much success with bobby pins.

2. Wearing my hair in a loose pineapple at night. If I use an Invisibobble, I have to wrap it around twice for a high bun, but if I’m going to wash it in the morning I take one of those cloth hair ties and only have it go around once.

At first I thought I accidentally scratched it when massaging shampoo in and out since I have somewhat long nails, though I try to focus on using just the pads of my fingers, but it’s been a few weeks and I’ve been extra careful lately, so I don’t think that’s it.

Routine (every other day; Sunday’s are different): condition with Tresemme Botanique’s conditioner to detangle, then follow up with DevaCurl One Condition and don’t fully rinse. Follow up with DevaCurl B-Leave-in and Ultra Defining Gel. On Sundays I wash with Low-Poo and deep condition with lavender oil (which one I use varies). Lately I’ve been doing rice water rinses but may stop for a bit.

What gets me is it’s not my whole head that’s sensitive, just one part. What are some things that may help?

Remedies for tender scalp?


CVS brand, Beauty 360, has a “knock off” invisibobble! I got 8 for $3, compared to it the other way around for name brand. I got one with 4 black and 4 brown.

I just got them so I’m not sure what the comparison will be like- and they’re labeled “medium hold”

But hey, I’ll try them out!

This got crazy long and has a ton of pictures, I'm so sorry. But! I thought my hair journey might help someone else with similar hair, so here goes!

Images that show the changes in my hair: [https://imgur.com/gallery/KdynXY2](https://imgur.com/gallery/KdynXY2)

I have incredibly fine, super low porosity 3a-ish hair. My hair is not particularly dry, has moderate frizz, decent shine, and little damage.

We thought that I had wavy hair as a child, which seemed to curl up abruptly with a bob at age 8, then became 3b/c around age 11, then back to 3a after age 16-- nowadays, I think it's probably been 2c/3a my whole life, but how it was cut and styled made it seem like it was changing.

I've never heat styled it and I've been obsessive and careful about care since I was in elementary school, so it's always been pretty healthy. I used to go through and separate and smooth each individual curl, which gave me fairly tight ringlets, but gave up on that sometime in high school.

For the longest time I just used small amounts of products designed for African American hair or really dry curls, not realizing that my fine, low porosity hair was probably just getting weighed down. Then I would wrap my hair in a towel overnight, wake up 70-80 percent dry and be on my way.

Initially, I was thrilled by the suddenly flatter, longer appearance of my hair. Eventually I became thoroughly disillusioned with the limp appearance, and starting experimenting with cutting my hair (yes, I do it myself, shame on me lol). Unfortunately the newly shorter layers just emphasized the limpness/flatness of my curls.

Enter CG. I was already basically CG just from years of trying products, but I finally recognized that my hair is low po and shelled out for some new products, as well as started letting my hair dry outside of the binding of a towel and experimenting with different clipping patterns to help give height at the crown. I still have two products I need to cut out, but I've been so afraid to try! Reading this sub has given me strength, so I'll do it this week.

It's a process, but I think it's getting there!

Routine:

\- Wet hair

\- Comb (carefully)

\- Coconut oil to the middle and ends of hair

\- Do all my other shower business

\- Wash with Ogx nourishing + coconut milk shampoo

\- (Note that I comb my hair pretty much constantly in the shower to keep away snarls)

\- Condition with Orlando Pita Argan Gloss Conditioning Treatment and rinse it most of the way out.

\- Squeeze out excess water

\- (I don't ever run my fingers through my hair after the final rinse, so as not to disrupt the curl pattern)

\- Teeny bit of Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie spread through mid and ends of hair (dropping soon)

\- Kinky-Curly Knot Today throughout hair- Argan oil on the ends

\- Dove Curl Defining Mousse throughout hair (dropping soon)

\- squeeze out any excess moisture

\- Kinky Curly Curling Custard throughout hair

\- alligator clips at crown to try to give some volume

If I shower at night I usually just put a towel on my pillow, lay my hair across it, and hope for the best. The other day I tried a pseduo-plopping into a hair twisty towel that worked fairly well, so I'm still experimenting.

I have a medical condition that makes showering kind of dangerous and unpleasant, so I'll often go 4 or more days without taking a real shower under running water, which is obviously a challenge.

I used to twist up and claw clip my hair at night, but felt like that contributed to its flatness. Nowadays I use Scuncï's invisibobble-like hair ties to pseduo-pineapple it, and it's usually a bit better.

I use Dove refresh + care dry shampoo when my roots get oily, and just work it through with my fingertips.

I've always despaired about the fact that the top and front of my hair gets frizzy and loses all curl definition after the second day, and I'm still working on fixing that. The ends of my curls look good forever, but I've yet to discover either a routine or hairstyle to prevent/hide the textured-in-a-bad-way front and top of my second-day hair.

Currently I'm trying to avoid touching my hair during the day (I often run my hand through the first few inches to push it back), and avoiding "smoothing" with water because it just makes it worse when it dries. It's helped a little.

Any suggestions, comments, questions, critiques, etc are welcome!

I'm finally happy with second day hair!


I have a wavy (not sure which specific type), medium density hair. My main issue is that I lose definition very quickly throughout the day and I'm trying to find products/methods that may help maintain definition.

Routine:

\- Wash with Deva Curl Low-Poo Delight and condition with Deva Curl One Condition Delight. While my hair is still soaking wet, I use Deva Curl Wave Maker, then Deva Curl Frizz-Free Volumizing Foam, and finish with Deva Curl Light Defining Gel. I plop with a microfiber towel for about 10 to 15 minutes. Since I shower at night, I then use an invisibobble hair tie to put my hair up and braid the hair in the ponytail. Also, I sleep with a silk pillowcase.

The first four pictures that are linked show what my hair looks like still slightly damp after waking up the morning following my wash routine. The fourth and fifth pictures are what my hair ends up looking like within a few hours. By the end of the day, some pieces of hair are almost straight with barely any wave to them.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

How do I maintain definition?


Hi all! I am 3a curly with bra strap-length hair.

I do take good care of my hair. I deep condition weekly. Cowash every three days. Clarify when  needed. No sulphates or silicones. Oil my hair tips at night if they are dry. Wear a satin cap to bed. Refresh every morning. I used a curl cream but it caused breakouts on my face two months ago which haven't left even now(recently started fixing this). I can't really use a gel because it makes no sense. Look at my routine and you'll know why:

* I have to put on a helmet 5 times a day (I do use a satin scarf over my hair before the helmet goes on(.
* I also go swimming everyday. This involves pre wetting and post wash
* A lot of time is spent in the kitchen where it is really humid.
* I work in a hospital - The bathrooms are really icky and don't have a mirror, so I can't extensively style every time I reach the hospital.

I used to be able to have lovely curls but things have changed and beautiful curls are just not happening anymore. I am always seen in buns/ponytails held together by an invisibobble. Honestly, I am bored of looking like this. I used to have a fringe but it has grown out now.

So is there anyone out there with life routines that do not really allow you to take care of your hair as much as you'd life? How do you do manage? Any tips for me?

Thankoyu!

How can I make my 3a medium length hair look pretty?


I co-washed with CG for the first time yesterday morning and

I DIDNT KNOW MY HAIR COULD CURL YOU GUYS

Before CG I would have described my hair as naturally 2a at best that I could blow-dry straightish, big poofy frizz mess. Ive had it shoulder length for a few years and it was the only way I could manage it.

I've been CG for about a month, still very much experimenting with routine though. Had kind of hit a roadblock with flat bits at the back and dry ends and overnight maintenance.

Bleach and dryness actually seemed to make it wave more so I've stayed away from co-washing before (didn't know about silicones before either, probably the bleach and sulfates were just getting rid of buildup) but I co-washed with Faith in Nature Aloe Vera conditioner yesterday (UK CG) and even my straighter bits are starting to curl today (I'd say to 2b overall with the odd proper ringlet)

Pineappled overnight with an invisibobble (makes it a hot mess in the morning so I'm not sure on this, my other method is wrapping in a silk scarf which is maybe better) but then spritzed with a mix of water and Lush r&b in a spray bottle and it came back to life!

One q : does anyone else find their hair is significantly curlier when dry? My hair when wet is at most 2a looking, even with gel scrunched in etc, but when dry it has really exaggerated s waves and curls - is that normal or am I letting the water weigh it down too much/not using enough gel/something? Something happens in between 80% dry and 100% where it suddenly curls.

Thank you to this subreddit you have made my hair so good.

Products: Shea moisture strengthen and restore shampoo (on low-poo day), faith in nature aloe Vera conditioner, Shea moisture gel for thick wavy hair, Lush R&B hair moisturizer. If it's feeling really dry I've been putting some Shea moisture shea butter detangler (my pre-CG HG product!)

Edit: a word

Co washing for wavies!/wet curl qs (You guys are the best)


Hello CurlyHair! I have been following the CG method for 4 month now and there has been a definite improvement in my hair. The only thing that still haunts me to this day is breakage.

Routine goes as follows:

* Shampoo: alverde Color-Glanz-Shampoo

* Conditioner: Balea Locken

* Treatment: Balea 2in1 Haarbutter

* Styling: Balea Locken Power spray

I basically followed the approved products in the google document for Germany. Use as cold of a water as I can, 2 rounds of shampoo, then conditioner, then treatment is left in for 5-ish minutes.

* I always plop

* Wash it every 4 days or more

* Use invisibobble for hair tying

* Wide tooth comb for detangling and wooden brush for brushing

* Dye my hair every 3 months

* Do not use any sort of heat on my hair

I have chest-level, fine hair, and not much of it, with it definitely getting thinner at the ends. Now I know I should trim my hair, and this is where most of the breakage is, I also get LOADS of breakage at the jaw level... so pretty high up. I am at a loss I do no know what to do anymore.

I also have plenty of oils at the ready (coconut, avocado, sweet almond and jojoba) if that helps.

For reference this is first day hair, after plopping: https://imgur.com/a/kOnZ4

Constant breakage, advice needed and welcomed


My 13-year-old daughter, who has long 3b hair, has tried a variety of hair ties. Some of them work better than others. On a scale of 0 (tangled so badly that I had to cut it out of her hair) to 5 (best hair tie ever!), here are some of the things we've tried:

* Fabric [scrunchies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrunchie): 5 (They're very gentle on her hair, but stay put reasonably well for everyday use. They're coming back in style, so she'll even wear them out of the house now.)
* [Metal-free hair bands](https://www.amazon.com/Goody-Ouchless-Elastic-Bands-No-metal/dp/B009O3I64G): 4 (They hold a lot tighter than scrunchies, but they're still gentle to hair. If her hair is already starting to tangle, sometimes they get stuck.)
* [Hosiery hair ties](https://www.amazon.com/Burlybands-Ultimate-Slipping-Snagging-Stretching/dp/B00HZ653YA/): 3.5 (They work about as well as metal-free hair ties, but with a slightly higher tendency to tangle.)
* Hair bands with metal: 3 (About as effective as the metal-free ones, but the edges of the metal tend to cut or break strands of hair.)
* [Telephone cord hair ties](http://www.invisibobble.com/about-the-product/): 2 (They worked surprising well until they stretched and had to be looped more than once. After that, they tangled pretty badly.)
* [Terrycloth hair bands](https://www.amazon.com/Goody-Ouchless-Ponytailer-Assorted-Colors/dp/B00CBFFHQ4/): 0 (I have never NOT needed to cut these out of her hair.)

We haven't tried things like these [DIY elastic ponytail holders](https://lulabellehandicrafts.wordpress.com/2013/03/31/diy-elastic-ponytail-holders-and-headbands/), but I imagine that they would probably tangle pretty badly.

Edited to add: With all of these, we are putting her hair in a low pony tail at the back of her head.

Hair ties for curly hair: what works and what doesn't?


Have any of you curlies tried a invisibobble? I have 2c/3a hair and I'm very tangly but supposedly the invisibobble doesn't snag. I can't use a regular hair tie without having to cut it out of my hair

invisibobble


The slim one does :( and really not looking to buy each one to test.  Hoping someone here can help!

Which Invisibobble does not leave a dent on your wrist?


Can you use the same method as their hair ties (dipping them in boiling water)?

How to shrink invisibobble sprunchies


My hair is too thin and fine to simply twist into a bun and hold with spin pins, invisibobble etc. so I’m looking for a bun maker that does not damage hair.

Does anything like this exist? If not what is the least damaging way to make a half decent workout bun for thin/fine hair?

Thanks!

What is the least damaging bun maker to make a workout bun?


Hey guys,

I have fine, extremely layered, mostly straight hair. I think I have damaged sections of my hair caused by standard Goodie hairties.

* I can't do braids because I have a shoulder length shag haircut, and I like to keep hair off my neck because it keeps me cool.

* Butterfly clips won't work because I fall on my back when I climb, and I'm afraid I'll hurt myself or break the clip when I roll backwards into the mat.

* I tried Invisibobble, but I had to wrap it around three times, and it pinched and pulled a few strands out when I took out the ponytail. Am I doing it wrong?

* I have some of those semi-elastic 1cm-wide fabric hair ties (the kind with the knot). How are those in terms of damage?

Keeping layered hair off face and neck during cardio and rock climbing without damaging it?


Has anyone covered their own hair and with fabric to make them hair friendlier? I’ve got so many hairbands that are dull and I want more colour as well as making them kinder on my hair.

Most of them are invisibobble type hair bands so I don’t think they’re that bad anyway but I figure more gentle is better.

Edit: here’s a [sample of options](https://www.fabricland.co.uk/product-category/buy-fabric-online/satin-fabric/)  I’m going to look at in my local fabric shop
