It's nice, but it's a pain to set so I mostly just have it in a ponytail. Plus it takes forever to grow out.

Welcome to the club. I knew mine was curly since even short it's always been that way. But I need a ton of products to keep it under control, especially in humid conditions. Hair oils and a very wide toothed comb. Maybe something with some hold if it's windy ate what I use for the everyday. Also a good conditioner for curly hair and don't use it sparingly.

SheaMoisture is a good relatively affordable brand for curls. Their deep moisture conditioner works well and the scent isn't overwhelming or overly artificial like many hair products. Their curl smoothie works for the flyaways but is a stronger scent, but you use it sparingly. And it's mostly coconut scent. It isn't strong hold like hairspray so looks natural.

For oils, I prefer a plain as possible argan oil without added scents, but most contain a lot of silicones which can be less effective. Last longer, and look less oily, but also leave residue and don't moisturize. They're more for immediate effect than natural, treatment. Bonus if they have biotin, keratin or other treatments to keep the hair strong and not as frizz-prone.

But yeah, curly hair takes a lot more effort than straight.

Thanks, I use Shea Moisture too. That smoothie smells good enough to eat (tastes horrible though).

I think that color green looks good on you.

Thanks! I wasn't sure when I bought it but it seems to work.

I love your outfit!!! My hair is similar to yours and I have discovered that the "Curl power" cream from Lush helps me a lot! And the product itself lasts foreeeever.

Avoid brushing your hair to keep those wonderful curls!!
