I have mostly 3B hair with some 3C curl patterns as well. My hair is very soft but SUPER curly and very hard to manage at time. It’s big, voluminous and has a mind of its own…But I love it oh so much and wouldn’t trade it for anyone else’s!

- BRAND LOYALIST

- DRY, FRIZZY
For my wash n’ go’s I use Shea Moisture’s Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Curl Junkie’s Pattern Pusha as my
To condition, I use Shea Moisture’s Deep Treatment Masque (Can be found at Target,Walgreens, CVS, etc) for about $8 or so. It’s really nourishing since I have really dry hair. I also loveee Trader Joes’s Nourish Spa Conditioner. It makes my hair soo soft andddd it’s only $3!! You can’t beat that lol!
To cleanse, I use Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar. I cleanse about every 2 to 3 weeks with this (I don’t use shampoo). I only trust this brand because it is organic and in it’s purest form without any additives or chemicals. You can get it from the Vitamin Shoppe, and even many grocery stores such as Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and Shop Rite for about $6. In between cleansing, I co-wash! I use TRESemme Naturals conditioner and/or As I Am Coconut CoWash Cleansing Conditioner. Both are awesome!! But I’ll use the when I feel like I want a deeper cleansing than the conditioner since its made specifically for cleansing.
That leads us to our next question:
Healthy hair over… Everything! Okay well I don’t think that was exactly it but basically that it’s better to have healthy, shiny, full, moisturized hair instead of holding onto dead over processed hair (heat damage, too much color etc) or long stringy hair. It’s not worth it
The greatest advice I could give to anyone is to not compare your hair journey to anyone elses’s! It’s sooo easy to look at someone else and say — I wish my hair was longer, curlier, less curly, softer, blonder, the list goes on and on. But comparison only stops you from being satisfied with what you have. So instead, embrace your own hair and LOVE it! Appreciate other’s, but be happiest with what you have. Also, protect your hair ! I recently had to get rid of some length because of heat damage. Now… I won’t say I won’t ever straighten my hair again lol.. But I’ll definitely take better care of my hair next time and use minimal heat instead of going to the Dominican salon and putting tons of heat on it ! Just be careful so you don’t end up having to cut it and going backwards on your
hair journey.
Isn’t she adorable?! And I’m not just saying that because of Curls and Cocktails bond!
