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!

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?

Hey Katie!
Thanks for your comment – I totally have the same issues with my hair, it’s definitely on the finer side and I have greasy roots more often than I’d like! My advice would be to start with super lightweight products and just use a simple co-wash and a mousse/gel, to begin with. Try something that’s not got coconut in it to start off with – I found that my fine curls didn’t like coconut at all after the first few washes, so have a look for some of the curly girl products for fine hair on Noughty, or some of the Superdrug/Alberto basics that are more along the raspberry line than the coconut ones. Start simple and then once you get a feel for what works, you can try different things. I won’t lie to you, you’ll come to a point where you just think it feels like a greasy mess, but if you persevere through that bit you’ll definitely start to see results! Let me know how you get on xx
