Solving your Curl Problems Q&A + EXCITING NEWS! | Innersense RoutineToday, I’m answering your questions regarding dryness, halo frizz, lack of hold, stringiness, itchy scalp, and more while styling with Innersense products. I also have an exciting announcement for a new program I’m launching that will allow us to connect one on one and solve your curl problems together. Wash Day RoutineFor today’s wash day routine, I used a some new products and some treatment products that I love. Off camera, I used the new Living Proof Scalp Exfoliator that uses chemical exfoliants to remove dead skin and buildup from the scalp. Then I used their clarifying shampoo that removes hard water, and finished with a new protein deep conditioner from TreLuxe. I also use the Living Proof Triple Bond Complex before styling.
For styling products, I went with the Innersense I Create Curl Memory. I have used this several times and got an extreme cast, but still ended up with some frizz especially by day 2. I wanted to see how it would do by adding in the I Create Lift Volumizing Foam. I was impressed by the amount of hold I got once my hair dried, and it seemed to be less frizzy than when I use the I Create Memory alone. I also tested the I Create Shine oil for the first time and really like it. It smells amazing!
I loved my results and they were very defined. It was a bit tough to scrunch out all the cast, but I managed to soften most of it. I wish I got some footage from day 2, but my hair looked pretty good! It had some frizz but overall looked great. It did feel slightly “crispy” though. Q&AQ: Why does my hair still look dry even with styling soaking wet?
Q: Why do I barely get any gel cast even when using strong hold gels?
Q: What routine do I need for long-lasting definition? My hair gets soft and over-conditioned easily.
Q: Why is my hair always frizzy at the back of my head? Q: I can’t get my fine 2B hair to be anything but stringy. It doesn’t want to clump. Q: Why do I have tons of halo frizz by day 2 despite using strong hold gels? Q: Why is my scalp itchy when my hair is curly opposed to straight?

If your hair feels brittle, stiff, and dry, this routine for coarse-textured or gray curly hair will moisturize and define your curls.
