That's all of them. You'd think it's about cold, soft water, but showering on cold soft water doesn't do the trick.
Hell yeah! Looks good, comrade! I know from experience how difficult curly/wavy hair can be, so I hope you can appreciate my genuine congratulations!
I've generally had luck with the Shea Moisture leave-in spray. Seems to do fine even with using less while leaving my hair a little more wet after a shower. I've had the same results with cerave lotion. But yeah, wavy/curly hair is such a fickle beast to tame.
Have you tried hair mousse? It can keep hair looking wet for longer
My curls are always best when I let them air dry in cold air. Idk why. Never really looked into it.
If I want my wavy hair to wave real nice, after my shower get enough water out that it is not dripping and let it air dry from there, maybe 1 quick brush through to make it straight while still wet and it looks like the pic except mine is to my butt not shoulders. My hair is fine and wavy, also I do not use product in my hair.
Mine looks great in cold wet weather, I live in Florida - our wet season is summer, winter so dry so it doesn't happen often.
To me it sounds like you should try drenching it in cold water and scrunching some gel into the very wet hair, and letting it set up for as long as you can stand it, then diffusing it gently.
It looks great here!
