Styling product recommendations for 3A curls

7 replies

TheBirdintheCave · 01/06/2023 16:17

I have fine, thick 3A curls which have been looking pretty lacklustre lately. I currently use Boots Pink curl creme and Umberto Gianinni Flirty Curls scrunching jelly but I don't think that combo is working for me anymore 😥

Does anyone with a similar hair type have any recommendations for some different styling products I can try?

I'm particularly looking for something with a good hold that tightens rather than elongates curls.

Thanks!

I highly recommend Cantu Moisturising Curl Activator Cream for tightening the curls. It makes a huge difference to mine. Don’t use very much - literally a pea sized amount for hair just above the shoulder, I used to use double that for longer hair. Followed by a gel for hold.

Ooh I've not heard of that one! I'll look into it! Thank you :)

Did you try anything new @TheBirdintheCave ? Interested how in your results!

I really wish there was an ‘edit’ button on this site…

I didn't have time before our holiday in the end but did try a Lush conditioner bar that I had in the cupboard which has helped bring the curl back a bit :)

Good, hope you enjoyed your holiday

@Daffodilsandbees It's... ok. Sicily is not somewhere I would choose again in a hurry 😂
