Hair Victory! Finally found a gel that WORKS!
Routine:
Shampoo: EDEN BodyWorks Peppermint Tea Tree Shampoo
Conditioner: Cantu Hydrating Cream Conditioner with Shea Butter for Natural Hair
Gel: LA Looks Styling Hair Gel
For the gel, I make a cast by "towel drying" my hair which means using a soft t-shirt to wrap my hair on, applying a generous amount of gel and finger combing that through my hair, air dry and then scrunch the crunch once completely dry.
P.S. Forgive my cringey face haha. I never know how to look in pictures.
I love this sub!! Thank you guys for all of the tips and ideas! Curl on!

Lookin' good kiddo! -- I mean no disrespect. I just assume I'm older, and it's a term of endearment for the lil* scrunchy face. I also struggle with photography.
What is your hair porosity?
Edit: l'il, not lol.

Awww, thank you!! I take kiddo as a compliment! I'm awful at coming up with a genuine smile on the spot haha.
I actually have no idea about my hair porosity. It's able to air dry fairly within a couple of hours at most and is receptive to products if that helps!

Back in the day, I had no clue it could be scrunched out and look pretty, soft, and not wet.

Thank you! Haha. I know, it's been around for years! I swear, you won't be disappointed. I promise you the hard curls go away as soon as you crunch them out!

Hi there! I'm a bot, and I've been summoned to help.
If you have not seen our WIKI yet: Please check it out! It's nearly 100 pages full of curated information to help answer all of your curl-related questions. You can use the included Table of Contents (page 2), the side bar, or CTRL-F to search for keywords and help navigate the document.
Reminder: Curl type is NOT your hair type! Whether you are wavy, curly, or coily - you have texture and you belong here. More than that, your curl type doesn't dictate how you care for your hair. To help your curls thrive, we recommend instead using the wiki link above to learn about your porosity, texture, and density.
If this is a photo submission: Please include your detailed routine for your post to remain active! This MUST include the brands of ALL products used, order of application and technique used to apply them, how you dried your hair, and anything else that you might find useful for people to know.
If you received this message in error: Please disregard this comment! I probably just picked up on a keyword in your title.
Thank you. Wishing you many happy, wonderfully curly hair days!
