Routine : shampoo ( treseme), conditioner : chi argan oil . Sectioned my hair then used Ostiss mousse . Then brushed with the new plastic edge lift brush and diffused .

My hair looks like i used a curling iron and not natural . Am I over thinking ?

Routine:

1. Shampoo & Conditioner: I used TRESemmé shampoo and L'Oréal conditioner

and amika kure hair mask

1. Products & Application: On soaking wet hair, I applied a leave-in conditioner

( SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen)

1. followed by Dippity-do gel. I applied these using a scrunching motion.
2. Drying Method: I diffused my hair with my head flipped down (hair down).
3. The Issue:
4. After the leave-in, my curls look really defined. However, once I add the Dippity-do gel, scrunch, and diffuse, it turns into a frizzy mess. I’ve tried air drying, but the results were even worse.
5. Am I diffusing incorrectly for this hair type, or is there a better way to handle low porosity, coarse hair during the drying phase?
