My hair is fine, 2b/c, High porosity hair. It doesn’t curl for the first couple inches, but idk if that’s because of genetics or something I’m doing wrong. Either way, I have symptoms of not having enough of either protein or moisture. It’s dry and frizzy, and sometimes feels like hay, but also breaks easily and is stringy when it’s wet. All I do is shampoo and condition with shea moistures light blue hydrate and repair. I scrunch it damp and then diffuse on cool for a little but not fully dry. I need ideas for products, and I’m open for deep conditioners or hair masks or something, but I like to get out the door and try not to spend long styling it.
Why do you rinse your hair every morning? If it gets oily and itchy I guess it can’t be helped but if it is just frizzy, you need emollients in your hair. If you wet your hair you should add conditioner to it especially if you are doing any detangling. I think you need at least a leave-in conditioner or cream. That could be the reason why it is so dry and frizzy. A deep conditioner doesn’t hurt but I don’t expect hair without a styler to last long at all, it would get frizzy fast. I use a leave in conditioner for moisture and gel for hold (stays frizz free longer) in my hair.
I rinse it because I sleep with my hair down and it gets flat on the back of my head and wetting it and letting it air dry helps fluff it up again. I don’t use any separate products so I wasn’t worried about washing anything out I wanted to keep in. I don’t really lose my curl hold, but it does get frizzy. You’re probably right about the products, but like I said in the other reply, I’m scared to buy something I won’t end up using. I came asking for products that work for hair like mine.
