#looking at stuff like use of plain text / not using readmores / in-post text being better than alt text etc.

Irt to your twitter post and posts on here before about hair care etc to stop frizz - ik you've mentioned products and stuff but a rly quick guide on what to do daily and weekly (ie should I not brush/comb ever? Use product on dry hair daily?) would be soooo helpful fr Google is very divided and capitalism™ on the topic - but if it's too much of ur time nw or if you've done it before already I'm sorry and could u link 👀 also ur hair looks amazing 😍

lumbers towards u IT'S NOT TOO MUCH OF MY TIME AT ALL I rlly like talking about hair My hair routine is not really complex but it ended up being a lot of text SOO it's under a readmore!! also THANK YOU I'm flattered you think my hair looks good fdjhgjdfjh

on wash days: It's pretty basic! shampoo, condition, I use one of those nice detangling brushes while my hair is covered in conditioner, then I scooch my hair to the side and leave that in until the very end of the shower, & rinse it out while using a comb and slightly cooler water. If it's warm out, or if I'm very strong, I blast my hair with cold water for a minute before getting out. After I get out, I rake some curl creme into my hair with my fingers, taking care to be gentle bc hair is weakest when it's wet and full of water. If I was planning to diffuse my hair, I'd also rake in some heat protectant. Occasionally I'll also throw gel in there, but not EVERY wash. After I've done that, I shake my head a little to let the hair form the clumps it wants to form. I use a soft t-shirt (I don't fuck w buying those expensive non-towel-towels for curly hair) to scrunch upwards and pull some of the water off my hair, leaning over while I do that. I let it air dry, and if there was any gel in it, I go back in and do one more scrunch-session, to break up the cast that was formed on my hair and make it soft again when I go to bed: I'm actually pretty lazy so I just use a silk pillowcase and pray to god my hair doesn't get too abused when I sleep. If I wanted my hair to look really nice, I'd wrap it at night using a silk scarf or a bonnet, or I'd put it up into a pineapple w a scrunchie. I used to pineapple my hair and it worked pretty well! but the silk pillowcase is the main thing. daily maintenance: it depends how intense I wanna be about keeping the curls looking curly. If things are looking kind of scrungly, I'll go through it gently with my fingers, and then hit my whole head with a mist of water. After that I can go through with just plain water (if I've merely lost definition) or with a bit of leave in / curl creme (if it's frizzy) and go curl-by-curl, wetting them down a bit and then scrunching them back up again. I let it air dry and then a lot of the curls come back to life. If my hair is REALLY frizzy, and I REALLY care about it, I'm gonna wet my whole head back down. water is my best friend when it comes to making my hair look good, so that's the main thing. I get Simply Sopping, I'll add a little more product, and then I'd do the same t-shirt scrunching routine as normal and let it dry. My hair comes back to life after that but may be slightly heavier, because of the fact that it's got more Product in it. re: brushing, no brushing ever, combing? I normally try to gently finger-detangle, but if that doesn't work, I will VERY GENTLY brush my hair if I feel tangles. I'll start at my ends and work upwards, taking care not to be too aggressive. If I need to dry brush my hair, I'll either embrace the big hair look or I'll do the thing where I wet it back down again afterwards. If my hair is so tangly that it NEED NEEDS to be detangled, then it's just time for a wash. These things are better done in the shower, with lots and lots of conditioner. you ARE ALLOWED to brush/comb your hair dry, but it is so much easier to just detangle in the shower other maintenance: Occasionally I'll do seek-and-destroy missions with hair shears to get split ends that I see. I also cut my hair around once a year- I just recently cut it myself a couple months ago! So I'm operating with shorter hair nowadays. I think that's pretty much it!!!! It's a lot of text, but in-practice, I'm not actually spending that much time on my hair. Most days I just wake up, spray a little water, and move on. like tending to a plant.
