Minimalism

I don't use leave-in conditioners. On particularly humid summer days, I rub a drop of Redken Glass through the ends of my hair. It doesn't seem to have any negative effect on my hair's condition. The rest of the time I don't use any styling products. I think products containing alcohol are bad for your hair. Some people warn against silicone. I'm sure others on this board would know of other ingredients to avoid.

If I want some wave in my hair, I section it twist it into a few loose coils. I then wrap the coils in scrunchies (when my hair is damp) and let my hair dry overnight. If I want some lift at the roots, I put my damp hair in a bun on top of my head. When I take it down, my hair looks fuller and has some loose waves.

Hi Strawberry fine!

I use the same (minimalist) approach. Seems to work for me, no? I'm sure it'll work for you too.

To bring out the curls you can dry with a diffuser and scrunch as you do so (just avoid high heat and avoid drying it until it's crisp).

Strawberryfine, I do the same thing-- shampoo, conditioner (2), and oils. It's the most practical for me.

Thanks, Strawberryfine! Here's a smiley for you:


I thought it was sooo cute the first time seeing it. It took awhile to realize the smiley face was being sucked back into the clock.
