u/DeStagnatingWater

I love this messy look, although I'm still getting used to it and it feels strange! I still haven't been able to get that little strand in the middle.

My last post here.

My routine on washing day

• I use Garnier Fructis Nutri Curls Contouring shampoo and the mask Fructis Hair Bomb Protein. I detangled my hair with a flexible detangling hairbrush. I remove the excess moisture with my hands. I put a cotton towel.
• I sectioned bangs in a V shape and separate from the rest with a clip. The rest of the hair I sectioned by lenghts, from bottom to top.
• I used Giorgio Curly Method Step 3 defining gel cream-gel, with water, for long strands and Eco gel Pink for curly hair, with water too, for the bangs and the ends.
• Used Denman brush to redefine all, and scrunch, and fingercoil in bangs.
• Hair drying on roots 3-5 min, and later pixie and hair down drying to get volume.

Hiii! ☺

I recently got a curly wolf cut with side bangs, and I LOVED how it looked at the salon… (1st and 2nd photo) but the next day (after a nap and working out), I tried to refresh it and I just couldn’t recreate it 😭

The problem : now my curls look separated instead of grouped. I get frizz and uneven strand, with no structure, especially at the roots and bangs. My roots , especially at the front, fall flat or go chaotic. My bangs don’t lift or frame my face like at the salon. Instead of soft side bangs, I end up with a weird front-heavy curtain. I feel like I went from cool wolf cut to Diego Armando Maradona real quick lol (3rd photo)

What the hairstylist did (from what I remember):

Washed and detangled with a detangling comb. Shampoo: unknown. Mask: Lola Cosmetics Muerte Subita. Protein treatment + about 15 min under a steamer. Styling she applied unknown leave-in and Gyada pink strong hold gel. She reclined me in the chair (I was looking upwards) and applied gel and defined using a Denman brush in section. I don't remember how she did the bangs (my fault😭). Drying she used the diffuser aprox 3 minutes around the roots without touching, from a distance. Then started light scrunching with diffuse. Later, she sit me and flip hair upside down, using the diffuser and scrunching. At the end I do a strong flip backwards to place everything.

My bang refresh "routine" (and in parentheses what I think i did wrong):

• I sectioned bangs in a V shape.
• Dampened hair (maybe too much?).
• I used Giorgio Curly Method Step 3 defining gel cream-gel type( I might be too heavy).
• Used Denman brush to redefine (bt possibly too many rows on the brush!! I think I didn’t properly separate front/back layers and no lift the curl from the root. I didn’t finger coil)
• (I styled bangs forward instead of sideways with a few shorter front pieces)
• Trying to use duckbill clips to lift the bangs in har drying, (but probably doing it wrong, too much pressure)

MAIN QUESTIONS (please)

1. How do I get that defined, low-frizz, grouped curl look instead of fluffy and uneven?
2. How do I lift the roots, especially in bangs?
3. And MOST IMPORTANT: how do I style my bangs so they lift and fall to the sides like in the salon?

I’ve seen some curly influencers (thatcurlblog8383 on YouTube) using diagonal front sections, stacking curls so they sit on top of each other and create volume, maybe my stylist did something similar(?).

I know this cut can look amazing because I saw it on myself… I just can’t recreate it and it’s driving me a bit crazy 😅

Now my hair looks way more frizzy, uneven, and with no structure, especially at the roots and bangs. I feel like I went from cool wolf cut to Diego Armando Maradona real quick lol (3rd photo)
