As someone with curly hair I know finding products that works for your hair is difficult. Hopefully these recommendations helps guide you and help take care of your beautiful curly hair! I’ve made sections that are catered for specific hair porosity.
If you don’t know how to check for the porosity of your hair just grab one of your clean hair strands put it in a cup of water and leave it for at least 5 mins. If it floats at the bottom-high porosity, floats in middle-normal porosity. And if it floats at the top-low porosity
From there you can find products that work for your hair!👩🦱👩🏻🦱👩🏼🦱👩🏽🦱👩🏾🦱👩🏿🦱
