Hello! I'm a 22 year old, curly-haired mama to be from CT. I'm always trying to figure out ways to embrace my curls and take care of them and I must say, it's tough work! I hope coming to this site and board will shed some light on what I need to do to keep my hair in top condition. I am not 100% sure where to start or what to do or what questions to ask!
To begin with, what type of curls would you say I have? I took the test and the test said 3b but I am not exactly positive if I'm 3a or 3b, opinions?
Also, anyone else feel the back of their hair is flat and less curly than the rest? I don't own a blowdryer so I air dry and can't seem to keep the weight off.

OMG, your hair is to-die-for. Your curls are SO beautiful. Welcome to the site.
My curls aren't as beautiful as yours but yes, the back of my hair is flatter and less curly than the rest. I usually wear my hair clipped up in a "slide" type barrette which looks nice and hides that portion.
I'm definitely a "curly" 2c. Sometimes curly and sometimes just wavy upper layer with a ringlety under layer. My hair has been thick and coarse since birth. Strawberry blonde in color that can and does change depending on the type and amount of light.
All in all, I'm happy with my hair type but almost for sure think yours is prettier.
It's such a pain. I'm thinking I might need more layers during my next cut to maybe take away some of the weight. I need to invest in better clips as well. I only use bobby pins because I'm awful at styling hair.
Also, I can only judge by the picture in your signature but your hair looks extremely gorgeous and soft!
Sure! In the shower, I use Tresemme naturals shampoo & conditioner. I don't use the shampoo everyday and when I do, I use a very light amount and only on the roots of my hair.
After I rinse the shampoo out, I put conditioner in and let it sit while I wash. Then I comb my hair with a wide tooth comb, rinse out the conditioner, and run another small dollop of conditioner onto my hair. I rinse with cold water (its awful but its made a difference in how my hair dries.. less frizz).
Once out of the shower, I comb my hair while it's still very wet, ring it out, apply DevaCurl's light defining gel upside down. Apply 1-2 pumps of John Frieda's frizz-ease serum and wah-la. While my hair dries I shake out my roots so they don't go flat on me.
That's about it. I hope that all makes sense because I'm writing this before bed! I also occasionally do a hair mask (1/2 cup conditioner & 1/4 cup olive oil) which works WONDERS.
OGX coconut milk conditioner worked really well with my hair as well but I wanted to give Tresemme a try since it's cheaper.

Btw is the John Frieda's frizz-ease serum without silicone ?
