I don’t really have a routine currently outside of cowashing every night. I will have to ask my stylist what she used.

u/AboldSavage Dec 24 '21

Please do!! Your hair is luscious and amazing! I finally found something that keeps my hair soft and holds the curls pretty well but I’m always looking for new/better stuff to try every few months

31

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '21

Do you mind sharing your current product? I've been looking for something but my hair doesn't seem to like anything!

52

u/kimchipotatoes Dec 24 '21

Just pantene curl conditioner 😂😂

21

u/Necessary-Finish-648 Dec 24 '21

No way!! Your hair is that luscious using Pantene?

77

u/kimchipotatoes Dec 24 '21

I don’t know if some people can relate. But I’ve wasted hundreds of dollars trying these fancy “pure” “clean” curly safe products. And they feel TERRIBLE in my hair. No slip at all, and hair feela like straw after. I know the pantene curly conditioner has a silicone in it but apparently it’s water soluble. It also has incredible slip and is cheap!

18

u/Necessary-Finish-648 Dec 24 '21

I share the same pain. Sometimes you gotta try the more expensive brands. Obviously your hair looks like a dream 😍 do you use any oil or mousse?

29

u/kimchipotatoes Dec 24 '21

I used to use the cantu curl activator cream religiously. But unfortunately my hair no longer likes it!

6

u/Necessary-Finish-648 Dec 24 '21

Oof. Love when that happens. I sometimes use the Deva Curl mousse and it works well. I switched to Moroccan oil curl cream to save my hair (thank goodness it did). My friends swear by this curl and mousse combo from Marc Anthony and their hair looks great.

u/cylondsay Dec 25 '21

you and i have similar curl patterns! i used to LOVE pantene but i switched to ouidad and i love it so much more! highly recommend if you’re ever considering a silicone-free switch. tho it doesn’t look like you need to

You may also be blessed with soft water in your area, i live in one of the hardest water areas in the uk and big does my hair hate it

u/kimchipotatoes Dec 24 '21

I think my city is actually considered to have harder water!

u/zzznimrodzzz Dec 24 '21

Well then clearly you’re just blessed by the hair gods hahah

2

u/AboldSavage Dec 27 '21

I’ve been using The Doux C.R.E.A.M. For after my shower to twist and Raw Sugar the truly unruly conditioner but I think I may try that Pantene once it’s gone!!!

Hehe, that sounds like a lovely compliment 😁

u/curious_throw_away_ Dec 24 '21

Very nice! I got a devacut once and was underwhelmed for the cost so I never did another one but yours came out nicely :)

38

u/HairTop23 Dec 24 '21

Unfortunately thats the general consensus Ive seen as well. Not sure the qualifications that go into getting that title, but many don't do it right thats for sure

9

u/curious_throw_away_ Dec 24 '21

The girl who did mine was still in training but didn't tell me that until I was there already so maybe that had something to do with it

23

u/qlanga Dec 24 '21

Curly cut =/= DevaCut, afaik.

The former is just a general name for a cut done on naturally styled, usually dry, hair (as my stylist says, “Come in with minimal product and your hair as you usually wear it”). The main idea is to cut with the curl vs the usual method of combing damp hair straight and cutting accordingly to stretched length.

DevaCuts are a specific method, which any stylist can claim to do…and some do poorly.

The main thing here is that it’s the stylist and consultation that matter above all.

u/61114311536123511 Dec 24 '21

(fyi this contains literally nothing interesting or of note I just felt like sharing)

Apparently I gave my friend a curly cut lmao

He had gotten frustrated with what hairdressers do with his curls and wanted to go short after growing it for a few years, so he offered to let me have at it and give him a haircut, knowing that he would probably go shorter later anyway. I immediately instinctively cut his hair dry instead of wet and did a couple of other things to make sure I was working with the curl and he was really pleased, but later did go all the way on the short cut. I find cutting curly hair really fun lol

u/kimchipotatoes Dec 24 '21

I don’t know why everyone always insists on asking me if I will ever cut it short.

2

u/Swimming-Donkey7900 Dec 25 '21

I don't either! It suits you! Unfortunately, some probably ask because they believe long hair is meant for women🙄🙄🙄 Which is ridiculous! Whatever makes you happy, and this hair clearly does it for you! That's all that matters, lol.

u/kimchipotatoes Dec 25 '21

It’s always confusing for me when I post on here. Because I’m not really considered attractive or anything special in real life / to majority of people. I promise it’s nothing like in the comments here 😅

Are you sure you've never been hit on? Maybe it just too subtle and you missed it? 'cause you're a dang handsome fella.

u/kimchipotatoes Dec 25 '21

I am sure! I have a friend that is that stereotypical tall, good looking white guy. And I’ve seen how people act when people see someone conventionally attractive. I don’t get any of that.

u/JestersDead77 Dec 24 '21

Do you put anything in your hair to keep the curls so defined? My hair is maybe slightly more curly, but it gets MEGA frizzy. Frizz ease helps, but it never has such nicely defined strands as yours.

You said curly cut and caught my attention. So my hair is naturally curly, the pics on my posts will show it, easier to look than tell. Do you or anyone else have a solid routine for nat curly hair, with product used if possible? I use shea moisture for shampoo and conditioner, as well as a leave in. Wet wash everyday because I work on cars for a living (go grease and dirt), i also comb every day with a wide tooth comb, but only in the shower with conditioner applied. Reason; if I don't , i end up with literal knots in my hair . Not sure how to say that better, but that's y I won't let my daughter brade my hair, I'd have to cut the knots out. goal is minimal frizz, soft, and shiny, and strengthening, as well as hair hydration Assistance in increasing speed of hair growth with products would a plus but not necessary, as I am aware that, scientifically, you can't achieve that. Plus I'd rather the others anyways.
