OGX Quenching + Coconut Curls Frizz-Defying Styling Milk for Mixed Curls

This product will give you curls. I do suggest using along with Aphogee curling serum. It works very well. Using that with this milk will add slick and shine. It's a learning process. If my hair is not freshly washed I can go 2 more days without a wash. I have naturally dry hair. However, I use a daily water hair spray mister and reapply product with a flexible brush. If you have not gone natural it will take longer for your natural curls to kick in. That means avoid the flat iron and stretching the hair out. It took me months to get to this point. First add enough the OGX into the hair to create a slick, especially tight curl areas. I sometimes use a very thin comb to spread product evenly and snap the curl in really tight areas. It may appear a bit milky but as it dries that will go away. I then add the Aphogee serum. Use your fingers to help those really tight dry curls. Mine are in the front of my hair. As you see in the pic you would never know, that's the area of my hair that is the most difficult and I am finally comfortable having curly bangs. Use a silk pillowcase and you will have less touching up the next day. I live in Florida and it is humid so it holds up as well as possible. Slight touchups the next couple of days and a wash. Now some people may say why wash 2 times a week? The slick will eventually look oily and my hair is really dry naturally. Any product I have sed on my hair for curls has alot of oil ( which is absolutely needed) and I get scalp buildup. I use head and shoulders in between washes just on the scalp area. Any product you put in your hair is going to create buildup. So my focus is skin on the scalp with shampoo and a nubby silicone scrubber- not the hair. Warm water rinse and then conditioner (do not apply to scalp). Apply to curly areas focusing on tight dry curls. I rinse with cool water and that's it. I just use Pantene shampoo and conditioner the rest of the time. Nothing too fancy. I'm sharing this for everyone out there with a combination hair curl pattern. Mine goes from 3c in the front to 3b to 2c in the back. It's also very thin bit I have alot of it. If I used a hair dryer it would automatically mushroom as I have alot of volume. This stuff tames all of that. I am even letting my hair finally grow longer as this product allows me to enjoy the curls.
