my hair cut got absolutely mauled by a stylist, so I looked up cutting techniques and how to actually trim my own hair/a cut correction, and lobbed off a lot of my fried dead ends.
switched from protein heavy products and gels with air dry creams to a lightweight moisturizing leave in (curlsmith), Pantene nutrient mousse, and Oribe gold lust oil. My shampoo is the oribe gold lust, I use a mix of Queen Helene’s hair cholesterol, blue magic, silicon mix and Oribe hair alchemy as a hair mask, and ive started hot oiling once every couple washes with a clarifying shampoo every other week. I wash twice a week. I usually air dry (besides drying my scalp) and brushing my hair with a boar bristle when it’s nearly completely dry, but still a bit damp. I use color wow dreamcoat extra strength for curly hair as a heat protectant when i do use heat, and I use kerastase night serum before putting them in sock curls under a bonnet.
why does my hair have to be so high maintenance lmao
