I’ve always had really, really thick hair that was impossible to untangle, but I loved my loose, natural waves regardless. When I first bleached my hair, however, I had no idea how to care for my weakened strands and ended up with these frizzy little curls that just looked messy. See this poor-quality photo for proof (that’s me on the left):
I loved my new ombré hair, but I always ended up straightening it to make the frizz go away. Eventually, I learned how to moisturize it properly (I use Aussie Total Miracle 7N1 Shampoo and 3 Minute Miracle Moist instead of conditioner in the shower, and OGX Argan Oil after). With this new regimen, my hair was definitely healthier, but frizz was still a problem, and I was never totally satisfied with my hair unless I took heat to it. Enter Briogeo Curl Charisma Rice Amino + Avocado Leave-In Defining Crème ($20 at Amazon). Since I added this gem into my routine (right before the argan oil—yes, I know, it’s a lot), my curls are way more supple and look good even without any further styling. See below:
Any frizz you see is because of the split ends I desperately need to cut off, but the wavy texture is courtesy of Briogeo, which, by the way, doesn’t weigh down your hair at all like other products might. I honestly could not recommend this crème more—especially if, like me, you’re too lazy to straighten or curl your hair. Besides, heat is bad for your strands anywho, so there you have it.
