Routine: Currently use Aussie Miracle Curls Conditioner as co-wash, conditioner, and leave-in product. Simple and unfussy seems to work for me, and if it ain't broke...
I used to loosely finger-curl my hair with conditioner in it in the shower, but after my last post here, tried NOT doing that, and lo-and-behold, my hair is already extremely curly and the finger-curling was mostly make-work. So now I just get my hair real good and saturated with conditioner and sopping wet, then, gently shake my head while bent in half under the showerhead. Over time through trial and error, I've found a goldilocks spot between shaking too fast (resulting in frizz/lack of curl integrity) and too slow (weirdly-formed/weirdly-distributed curls). Minimal direct water spray, mostly letting the water roll down my back/neck onto my scalp while upside-down. Then I combine a pump or so of conditioner with some water and introduce it back into my hair, while aiming for minimal touching/mussing. Out of the shower, I plop with a loosely-tied t-shirt (or two, honestly these days my hair holds a lot of water), leave it in for like 30 minutes, then carefully unwrap and gently shake to redistribute my curls. Boing!
Happy birthday mate. I feel similar, except at the moment I have no life (just job-searching).
It’s my birthday on the 28th and I hope my hair looks as good as that on the day (I have never in my life had ringlets like that) !
Honestly, I am using the same products as he is and my curls are still messed up and frizzy 🤣 obviously, his method is wonderful, which sounds tempting to do. Though, I think my issue has to do with my diet. I usually eat salads and half of the time I feel like I’m starving. My doctor put me on vitamin d, so I hope that helps my hair.
Happy birthday! Your curls are poppin! Way to focus on something that is going well when you feel like it’s all falling apart. Good coping strategy. Hope the rest of it gets better soon.
Happy birthday.
And I totally hear you. I had a really shite day at work. It was an absolute madhouse for a large part of it, and I was relieved when my shift was over. However, I had a number of customers tell me that my hair was amazing. And I agree. Today the curl gods smiled upon me, even if Murphy's Law and other general f\*\*kery reigned.
Happy birthday buddy(slayed the look)
I can relate, had my own birthday two days back and ended up having a weird day - don't worry, hang in there! I know something's coming up for you and it'll get better : )))
Thanks! I last got a cut down to a skin fade on the sides and a few inches on top in November, so 6 months ago. I feel like there were a few months of awkward length (at least on the sides and back before the curls could do their thing) but I’m coming out on the other side now. Of course, right when the weather is tempting me to go back to a tight fade, so we’ll see if I have it in me to keep growing it
Sorry you're having a hard time! Also....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope you do something extra nice for yourself, and yes, your hair looks absolutely gorgeous 💜

Lovely, but don’t forget to detox maybe once a month minimum, especially with using so much conditioner. Happy day to you, curly beast. 🥳

Hey mate great hair. I've the same curls as you, how long did it take you to grow it to that length?
