About current haircare 🎀

i’m a white woman with a thick, wavy, frizzy, unruly, low porosity nightmare that is my head of hair. either 1C or 2A type, idk. only now do i feel any sort of motivation to finally begin caring for it properly.

• wash hair ONLY 1 or 2 times a week. yes, seriously – apparently this is ideal for my (thick, wavy, frizzy) type of hair.
• on non-wash days, refresh hair with continuous spray bottle filled with water. then reapply leave-in conditioner and hair oil.
• once a week, oil scalp and ends. massage with bamboo brush for 5 minutes, apply oil, massage with silicone massager for 5 minutes, put on cheap amazon shower cap, let it sit for about 3 hours.
• also apply Olaplex or Ouai hair mask once a week.
• try to use Inkey List scalp scrub at least once a week. maybe twice, depending on how often i wash my hair that week.

• do i need mousse or not? what about styling cream or hairspray or any other product? it’s so confusing!!
• i don’t even know how i want my hair to look. i want it to not be frizzy or greasy, that’s all i know. straight hair is pretty! wavy hair is pretty! curly hair is pretty! IDK
• i can’t have a job right now because of my illness. if the government approves my request, i’m gonna strongly consider splurging on one of those fancy dyson tools.
• how much of a difference does a hairbrush make? try comparing my Tangle Teezer Ultimate Detangler and Unbrush Plus – see if either one delivers noticeably better results.
• how on earth can anyone have halfway decent looking hair WITHOUT the use of hot styling tools? mine will never look good without them :/
