I have low porosity, thick 2C/maybe 3A??? hair. I also have ADHD. It’s difficult for me to keep up with maintenance of most things in my life let alone my hair. I know how to do the curly method, and when I have lots of time it works, but my every day hair routine makes me look like I just rolled out of bed (because I did lol)
I’m wondering if anyone has any tips/tricks or product recommendations that might help me. I feel like my hair is just not able to look nice without a MASSIVE amount of effort and it’s so discouraging and draining. And even when I try to make it look nice I feel like there is at least a 30% chance it will still look too messy.
My current routine (when I don’t have time and effort to do my hair):
- Shower in the evening/at night
- wash with body shop ginger shampoo
- condition with whatever I have (Live clean coconut water)
- brush conditioner out in the shower
- scrunch my hair
- either let it air dry or put it up in a microfibre towel wrap
- go to sleep with mostly wet hair (i don’t put it up)
- wake up in the morning and wet it a little to try and get rid of the frizz/messiness
My routine when I have time to actually do my hair:
(Usually this is on the weekends when I can shower in the morning and actually have 4-ish hours to let my hair dry.)
- Shampoo with Body Shop ginger shampoo
- Condition with whatever I have (currently coconut water live clean)
- brush the conditioner out in the shower
- flip my hair and re-comb through with my hands and either use KMS gel mousse or AG naturals mousse and scrunch
- let my hair air dry
- still looks kinda frizzy but decent enough.
I appreciate and welcome any help/suggestions!
Thank you!!!!!
