For me, I love kinky curly knot today. I don’t need a lot and it gives me just enough moisture. If it had protein I think it would be perfect.

My favorite gel is Ouidad climate control (white bottle). It is a heat protectant as well and I feel like I don’t need a whole lot of it. I’m currently experimenting with mousse/foams but it’s hard to beat this gel.

I am really liking the Mop Top shampoos, most low-poos feel like they don’t clean enough but these do.

Btw I have long, fine, low density hair that is mostly 3a/3b and is more on the high porosity side.

Also I snagged a dyson supersonic second-hand and it is so much better than my previous dryer I used with the deva diffuser. It feels kinda hot but it doesn’t do heat damage (that I’ve noticed at least).
