How to Style Curls that Fall Flat, Don’t Last, or Are Overly Soft
If your curls fall limp, frizz, struggle to hold a curl, or feel too soft and flat, then you need a to make these teaks
Today I’m answering your questions about root volume, achieving definition and volume, curls that fall straight, hair loss update, and more as I style my hair using some new drugstore products. For this drugstore curly hair routine, I use just one, single styling product.
Q: “I am using the full Ouidad line for bond repair but my hair turns out soft after styling.”
A: This is a very softening line, so it may not be right for you. Below are some other things you can try.
Solutions:
Q: “I am struggling with getting the balance between volume, definition, and hold with 2c-3a curls”
A: There are some techniques you can try that I show in the video.
Solutions:
Q: I use Flora mousse and Ouidad gel but I get lots of flakes.”
A: These two products may not be compatible.
Solutions:
Q: “Any tips on getting volume at the roots.”
A: There are some techniques you can try that I demonstrate in the video.
Solutions:
Q: “How is your iron deficiency treatment and hair growth journey going.”
A: Thank you for asking! It has been a really tough journey and I am still struggling. My iron levels are now within the normal range and have been for over a year or two now. My hair was definitely growing in because I see a ton of shorter hairs and my hair is denser at the top compared to the bottom. However, I have not seen an overall improvement in density because I am still shedding excessively. I believe this is due to hormonal birth control, which I am stuck with at this time. I haven’t really been using hair growth treatments consistently because I feel that there are still internal causes fighting against it. I have been using the Curlsmith Elixir around my hairline since I have noticed more thinning there recently.
Q: “I am struggling with hold for curls. Once I break the cast, they fall in a day. How do I keep them intact without the crunch?”
A: There are some techniques you can try that I demonstrate in the video.
Solutions:
Q: “What do you wear on your head when it’s cold outside and you don’t want to mess up your curls.”
A: There are silk and satin-lined head covering options that can help.
Solutions:
Q: “Why do I get terrible knots at the nape of my neck? It only happens when I use gel.”
A: Try using a gel that has more slip to it, and avoid thick sticky gels.
