I have tried CGM many times over the past, and never cared for it. I don’t like the feel of product in my hair, and day 2 hair didn’t happen for me lol. That’s why I kinda gave up and went blonde and started using heat on my hair twice a week around June. I let my hair air dry today and it’s not great, but I feel like I could get somewhere with this. My issue is that I can’t get curls everywhere, but I strongly dislike the feel of gel in my hair, while mousse doesn’t seem to do anything for me. I also feel like my hair needs either moisture or protein but I don’t know? I’ve been adding both 🤷‍♀️ And I have a lot of hair, it’s still wet in these photos and starting to floof out, I feel like it’s just weighed down all around.

Products: -Redken blondage shampoo followed by OGX coconut caffeine shampoo -L’Oréal 8 second miracle water bc scrubbing my scalp creates so many knots, I don’t brush this through it just makes the knots like fall/slip out on their own -OGX coconut caffeine conditioner, brush with product in -Aussie 3 minute miracle moisture, don’t brush after rinsing

Scrunch dry very gently just till not dripping with microfiber towel, my hairdresser has me using aveda’s botanical repair since I went blonde and I ran out of my heat spray so I’ve been using L’Oréal’s protein recharge leave-in bc it has heat protection even though I air dried. I kinda just gently prayer hands it all over hair and then I’ll rescrunch it. I’m probably gonna straighten this before work lol.
