My roots wont curl in certain areas??

melinaftw

my hair is layered,and right by my shoulders. I use either devacurl,shea enhancing smoothie,cantu curl activating cream,or eco styler. My roots curl at the sides of my head and the bottom of the front of my hair but nowhere else and my hair has nice curls ONLY at the bottom. what? and the hair by the bottom back of my hair is just completely straight..Im low porosity with fine hair btw. :puker:

Your description, is it what your hair looks like without product?

From what I've read on these boards, it's not uncommon for people to have multiple curl patterns. So there may be nothing you can do about it, but work with what you have to make your curls a bit more consistent.

I've found that with careful attention to product application I can camouflage the insolence ;-) If I don't section my hair to apply styling jelly, I get stupid spots :confused4:

I am 3b curls hair type ( maybe ) but its really mixed sometimes it looks 3a, sometimes 3c. Low porosity and fine also. To prevent that problem sometimes after applying hair products I finger curl my stubborn curly hair to make it all even. Hope it helps.

You may want to try using different products. Your products sound extremely heavy for fine haired folk. I have coarse hair and it would be too heavy for even mine!

I agree with sixelamy. My hair is fine/low porosity. Doesn't care for most of the products you use. The SM smoothie just sits on my hair and doesn't get absorbed.

How did you determine your porosity?? Most people try the float test, which is notoriously unreliable. Everyone comes out low. A better indicator (other then having it examined microscopically) is dry time. On naked hair, less then two hours is porous, more then six is low and in between is normal.
