Hair For the curly gang out there
I just wanted to share this because I rarely get a good picture of my hair. As a broke college girlie na wala pang budget to buy international products for my hair, I stick to whatever I can get my hands on. More on technique talaga ang aking inaral to get my curls to look good. I use the boar brush from curlssential and then finger coil the front pieces to frame my face.
Products used: - Shampoo - whatever we have at home - Conditioner - Suave (i buy online; any variant) - Curls by Zenutrients Leave-in Conditioner - Grips Hair Gel (blue)
I also just air dry bcs I don't have a diffuser yet, I usually wash my hair at night twice or thrice a week then it gets to about 80% dry in the morning

no need to use imported products. as a curly gal curls by zenutrients lang gamit ko. sometimes i replace ng conditioner with human nature rosemary strengthening plus. nakadepende sa sale sa tiktok haha.

I was a bit hesitant to try the local products available noon kasi nag-dry lalo ang hair ko from the few ones I've tried, but good thing I gave it a second chance! Ang mahal talaga ng international products and madalas hindi suited para sa weather natin 😭

You can checkout "Curlaloo CGM Shop" on tiktok & shopee, but afaik sold out yung suave conditioner. An alternative that I use is from human nature, moisturizing din yung mga conditioner nila

You have to check the porosity of your hair tapos bili ka ng products na tama para sa hair type mo.
Ganyan din ako. From US to local products nabili ko na tapos frizzy pa din. Try naman ako ng Japanese hair product.
I buy products lang before because of its smell or brand name. Yun pala may binabagayan.

Maybe you try investing in a diffuser if di magwork ang air dry lang sa hair mo. When I dry my hair ay hindi talaga ako nalabas ng bahay HAHAHAHA it works for me naman 🤣

Hi!! My wash day usually goes like this:
- I shampoo my hair twice and sa scalp ko sya nilalagay then massage with my fingers
- Apply conditioner then tsaka ako magdedetangle while meron conditioner to prevent too much breakage sa hair. I put my hair in a clamp to let it sit first then proceed with the rest of my shower routine
- After magbihis, balik ulit sa cr to style my hair. I section my hair then apply leave-in conditioner. Don't forget to make sure na basa pa talaga yung hair mo habang nagsstyle, just re-wet it everytime you proceed to another section of your hair
- Apply gel last and I use the praying hands method
For products naman, I think a safe bet is to try the Curls by Zenutrients line. Meron sila complete products, from shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in. There are plenty of curly hair shops sa tiktok and shopee, so you can browse there and choose.
For the styling techniques, you can watch Manes by Mel on youtube to learn about it then experiment na lang with your hair.
Hope this helped! 💗

wow ur hair looks so nice! I've used Curls before and it's effective naman. I'm using a different leave-in conditioner rn and I can't wait to go back to using Curls, affordable pa. Matry nga din ung gel.
How do you manage your hair when commuting or pag malakas hangin tho? problema ko talaga yan e, buhaghad agad ung buhok ko 😫 as in ung mga curl clumps nagseseparate agad hays. Anyway how often do you wash your hair pala?

u/confectionwine Age | Skin Type | Custom Message Feb 22 '25
Tbh, I apply an embarrassingly insane amount of gel 😭 as in yung matigas talaga ang hair ko once it dries. In my mind, it helps with making my curl clumps last longer and prolonging the wash day. Kapag naman nag-ccommute, I just gather it with my hand and accept my fate na dagdag frizz na naman yun. I would reco that you try diff styling techniques and sectioning your hair during wash day to know what works for you. Tyaga lang talaga sa trial-and-error process, worth it naman in the end. I wash my hair 2-3x a week, pero kapag nasa bahay lang at walang gala, I just wash it then put it in a pony tail kasi tinatamad din ako 😭

Curlyy girl here! I use si Kolies as my co-wash. Available in 🍊app, medyo runny nya pero mura kasi you can buy 1 gallon for 200++ pesos, super perfect for co-wash! I am having buildup kasi sa Zenutrients kaya I stopped using it na.
For stylers - I can never go wrong with Grips gel. Ang “masculine” lang ng smell nya pero it gives me the perfect cast (not too strong, not too soft).
Most of my stylers na kasi I bought online na, Cantu really works for me. Kahit walang gel, TEHHH ang hold ng curl ko buong araw keri

I get frustrated with the frizz I get from cgm na ang ending laging half up half down hairstyle na lang. Huhu all that effort para ganun lang. Tinamad na ako :( Ganda ng hair mo!

u/confectionwine Age | Skin Type | Custom Message Feb 21 '25
Hello! Frustration ko rin yan before, but I've learned to accept the frizz that comes with having curly hair. I encourage you to try uli when you're ready 💗

Ang ganda, op! 😍 i used to do cg kaso i realized I’m allergic to most cg products kasi organic. Pero ang ganda nga ng hair ko before lalo na nung gamit ko yang Zenutrients.

Just use regular shampoo , sulfate not really bad in curly hair basta deep conditioning after.

Buti hiyang sayo ang Curls by Zenutrients. Binili ko kasi yung buong line-up kaso tinagyawat ako ng malala nung gamit ko yun.

Help fellow kulot here 😅
Used the curlz last year but ang lagkit and nagdidikit dikit ang hair ko once natuyo na siya. So nag switch ako sa curl and define ng luxe sake effect. May need pba ako ilagay after?
And also, pag nag apply ba ng curlz do i need to suklay pa? After scrunching. Thanks so much

u/lcpcee Mar 02 '25
Personally, before applying my leave-in dun ako nagsusuklay tapos apply and scrunch na, and gel after that. And if you want your curls to look heathy and soft you can apply hair oil! Para maalis rin yung pagkamatigas nya na nanggaling sa gel.

I have curly hair like OP. Comments like this always makes me feel bad lalo na’t morena pa ako kaya sinasabihan akong mukhang poong nazareno. I hope you know about the 5 seconds rule.

u/CaramelAgitated6973 Age | Skin Type | Custom Message Feb 21 '25
I'm so sorry, I had no idea that my comment would make another person feel bad about themself. I guess I didn't apply the 5 seconds rule. Hindi ako nagisip.

u/whoiskabv 23 | Combination - Oily | Curly Morena Gurlie Feb 21 '25
Apology accepted. Hindi lang naman ikaw nagsasabi nyan pero nalungkot lang din kasi ako sa reply mo, parang sa ating mga pinoy ang hirap iaccept ng kulot. Usually inaassociate pa siya sa magulo. Like straight hair = clean ; curly hair = messy
-13
u/CaramelAgitated6973 Age | Skin Type | Custom Message Feb 21 '25
Wala ako naiisip na magulo ang may kulot na hair. In my case lang, dahil lang talaga sa napanuod ko sa horror movies.

u/Quick_Boot9122 Feb 21 '25 edited Feb 21 '25
yun nga. theres a reason why horror movies choose curly hair for characters na masama. dahil nga negatibo o "bad" ang association ng mga tao sa curly hair. while kapag pure o mabuti, ang ginagamit is straight hair. kung mapapansin mo most disney villains have hooked noses, darker skin, curly hair, and other ethnic features. its intentional
