Hi! I have low porosity, fine, wavy hair that forms waves while wet but dries straight and frizzy. All my life I’ve treated it as straight hair (shampoo, conditioner, dry brushing) but I’m trying to bring back my natural waves from when I was young.
I’ve tried using curl creams, mousse, gels etc but everything I try seems to weigh down my hair.
My current routine is dry brushing before showering to detangle and knots, shampoo x2, hair mask on the mids-ends and brushing through, while doing a light scrunch, then conditioner and brushing through with a comb to form clumps, and doing a light scrunch. Post shower - hair is soaking and I’ll add a leave in conditioner and some curl cream (light scrunch/patting) then air dry as I don’t own a diffuser. I’ll also add in some oil if it’s feeling crunchy.
This routine is very 50/50, sometimes my hair will dry completely straight and other times it’ll dry with a very faint wave pattern to it.
I’m after some product recommendations that are affordable - I am in Australia.
I’m also after any advice for washing / post shower routines that may help.
