Hey there 🙂 Sounds like your hair is pretty similar to mine! I like the Garnier banana mask conditioner as well but it’s a difficult balance when you have fine hair as too much can make it feel very weighed down. With that said it is a good one so try using it more sparingly and make sure you’re squishing it in when you wash. Other good ones are from the As I Am range but again these can be quite rich and if you’re sensitive to coconut you’ll need to use them sparingly as well. There are some higher-end products that’ll work well on fine curls such as Boucleme conditioners etc but they are a bit on the pricey side, so it totally depends on how much you’re willing to spend! I find that using a smaller amount of a rich-feeling conditioner and then styling with gel/mousse makes a big difference on my fine hair. Just try to avoid anything with silicones as they do weigh things down further!

I think i have 3a hair but it looks thick but is actually fine and low porosity. Also not sure if it could be protein sensative. I’ve tried lots if conditioners but they don’t seem to be working well and now have lots if hair fall. Currently using garnier banana mask conditioner. Any advice on good conditioners?

Hey there!

I’d probably suggest using a gel on your hair when wet to try and tame some of the frizz and lock in the curl. Nothing too heavyweight though! I’d start co-washing to get some of the hydration back into your hair and then lock it in with a gel cast once you’ve finished. Gently squeeze dry and ‘plop’ with a t-shirt and then re-apply some gel and you should see a bit of an improvement! Let me know how you get on 🙂

I think I’m a 2b… I’m just lost on product choice.. I leave my hair to dry naturally, it’s definitely got some curl in there, underneath there seems to be more and then it gets frizzier towards the top #hermionegranger hair.. it’s soft, it looks like I’ve been out in the humidity for a while lol, like the curls need to be defined but I don’t know how or what with? I also tested a strand in water and it floated but I don’t know what that means?

Great tips for starters. One question, can I use VO5 hair gel?

Omg… you are such a Godsend… Thankyou 🙏🏽for the intro, info and everything one needs to know about the CGM… so well explained even tho I feel a bit overwhelmed. Thankyou again.
I am 62 years old and always had naturally THICK curly hair. I played with irons a lot through my adult years, short and long hair… even had it straightened two and a half years Ago..I maintained that until recently… and now have decided to embrace my naturally curly hair… my daughter follows the curly girl method and she lives in NYC. She is the one who told me about it and insisted I make an effort to find out about it here in the UK… and I just stumbled on your blog… I have taken the first step.
