Y.O.
Hi! I have medium length curly hair too and I have a little recipe I swear by. Let it be known that growing up with a mom who always owned her own beauty shop, I've tried ALOT of curly hair products; I'm my own guinea pig!
After washing my hair and towel drying it (you never want your hair dripping with water when applying product) I sparingly apply Infusium 23 (repairologie) leave-in treatment. I comb it through and let it marinate,lol, for about 10 mins then I use L'Oreal Studio Upward Spiral Springing curls-curl defining mousse. Then I run it through my hair and without combing, I just let my hair do what it does naturally. When its almost completely dry, I use the blow dryer simply to scrunch it and give it bounce & volume (i hang my head down for this, works wonders). That's it. I know it may sound like a lot but it really doesn't take that long at all. P.S. when I'm all out of the mousse, I use Catwalk Curls Rock-curl amplifier. My newest acquisition and I love it! All you need is one pump; hair curls nicely and soft, no frizz, no wet look, no crunchiness. Hope this helps!
