Hey, Me again. This is after using serum behind my ear and shampooing and conditioning. Would you say it would grow outwards and down and not stick out after it has fully grown past my shoulders. No alan davies look.

I agree, I think it will take a couple of months until you know for sure

Alright, Got it. A few years ago it grew out into a kind of curlfro type thing.

Looking good so far!

Signature

Curly end of wavy. I get chunky ringlets and some elongated S shapes. Fairly dense, medium texture, medium porosity.

Rotation is key for me. Get on well with most Curl Junkie products especially CQ, CIAB, PP for stylers, Hard hold gel on top; usually BRHG. Also CJ protein treatments.
Other stuff B&A Gel, EO conditioners, GFRS, Hairveda Sitrinnillah, Joico K-Pak reconstruct, Afroveda TT and CL butters.

Thank you Julia. I shall update this every month or so. To tell progress and stuff. It’s got to the point where the waves become curls.

Updating once again. I don’t think I’ll achieve that Michael Akerfeldt hair look.

Hey, that’s not bad growth for 3 months! Don’t give up yet

If you want waves rather than curls, try gently running your fingers through while it is drying; this will loosen any tight curls (and also make it look longer!).

All the best!

You could try adding a bit of leave in conditioner, or something like shea butter to this bit. You won’t need to use much, but should help with the frizz! Also, try not to fiddle with your hair during the day, this will only encourage frizz!

Oh my, I have just seen this, sorry. I am quite a moron when it comes to this stuff, any products you would recommend to help me with this growth period? Like what ‘Shea Butter’, conditioner, leave in conditioner, shampoo etc.

Thanks! :D
