2a hair on top + 3b hair under, HELP! How do I style and cut? πŸ€

Hi curlies!!

As many others I guess my hair can be a mess. If left untstyled all on top is 2a. If properly styled it can be a 2b but underneath it’s 3b. So a biiig contrast.

Now that I’ve been fully following the curly method (for 2 weeks) I’m wondering if you have any recommendations on how I could style it or cut it?

It’s wierd because the under ones I’ve realised are muuuch shorter, but I thought they were dry cut! :O (not curly cut). Should I get the upper layers dry-shorter than the lower ones? I worry if I do that they might curl more when shorter (because of less weight? Or maybe they can’t anyway) and end up being muuuch shorter than the ones underneath.

I hope someone can help me πŸ€ sorry for the long post I hope it makes sense πŸ’™πŸ’™

My curly routine: - cowash tot herba (~horse tail, sage humectants) - same as above as conditioner - leavein hairfood papaya (just a bit) - gel Revlon scrunch (I need to find something stronger) - Plopping diffuser

  • Once a week 2h hairfood papaya
  • Clarified twice so far, once green clay, once lemon

Hair type: - low porosity (takes loong to dry) - 0 elasticity - high density - thick - oily scalp, dandruff, hair loss (but getting better I think!! 😊)

Unimportant for now: as per the technique I’m still trying small changes, not much difference. I always do STC and tried with more brush with it (better defined curls) or less (wider waves but clumped together), wetter hair (good results but I usually don’t have time for that) etc.

BONUS former routine: light shampoo with sulfates mask with silicones as conditioner leavin lush r&b and lush queen bee. Maybe 3 times I did a coconut mask but it just stayed on top I think πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Sometimes I could get a beachy wave but usually ended as frizz town
