Curls routine ruins my volume & makes hair messy. Any help please?
Hi, as per the caption, my curls routine kills all volume and I really don't like the way it looks. It looks so messy and shows my scalp as my hair is thin. Any help would be great please!
The pictures are taken when my hair is nearly dry after using gel (but looks the exact same once fully dry).
Here's how it looked before: https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1t7lkvz/completely_new_to_this_can_anyone_help_me_out/
Routine:
1 - Suave Daily Clarifying with Deep Cleansers for Normal to Oily Hair Shampoo. Use this once every 3 weeks
2 - comb hair with wide tooth detangling comb (every day in shower)
3 - co-wash. scrub into scalp for 2 mins then rinse whilst massaging. use "As I Am Coconut CoWash Cleansing Conditioner" and do this every (every cowash day = every 2-3 days)
4 - apply "Kinky-Curly Knot Today Leave In Conditioner" in wet hair (every cowash day)
5 - apply "Aussie Instant Freeze Sculpting Gel, Maximum Hold, Triple Pack for Curly, Straight and Wavy Hair" immediately after whilst hair still wet (every cowash day)
6 - get rid of excess water using microfiber towel, scrunching upwards to remove excess water
7 - air dry
8 - scrunch out the crunch when 100% dry
Thanks in advance r/curlyhair!
