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.
Alright so I would go with products that say they are lightweight since your hair gets weighed down easily. If it doesn’t mention being lightweight or gives volume, you can probably skip it.
Companies that offer sample sizes (some you have to go online to their store to get them) would be: Curlsmith (weightless air dry cream), Moptop, Jessicurl (has lightweight versions of their products also available without fragrance), Ouidad, Shea Moisture, Aveda, and Not Your Mother’s (target and ulta). This is not an exhaustive list but is what I could come up with.
I agree I wish the list also had the person’s hair type listed, it really depends on the formula and not just individual ingredients to determine if it is light weight or not.
I guess I’ll just go with trial and error then, huh? I’m pretty sure ulta has a good return policy, too. I’ve got one close enough to me
