Default need help with Curl Junkie products

I just bought CIAB and the Coco Creme Lite (I'm sorry if I am messing up the name). I blotted my hair a little after my shower, and then raked through the Coco Creme and then the CIAB.

I was hoping for more curl definition. I'm a 3A. I diffused my hair for a few minutes and then air dried.

Does anyone have any tips for using these products? Is it too much for fine hair to use both at once? Should I use them in sopping wet hair instead?

Thanks for any tips.

Sherry

I also have fine hair, but I still need to add a medium to hard hold gel over CIAB. I use CIAB as more of a serum. I do add both CCCCL and CIAB to sopping wet hair, but that's what I do with all of my styling products. HTH!

Thanks for your reply! I will try it on sopping wet hair. What kind of gel do you use? Your hair is gorgeous!

Take care,
Sherry

Never mind-I just saw your product list at the bottom of your post.

I use the coco creme like a leave-in. As soon as I get out of the shower I squeeze a little water out and put that in. Then I towel dry my hair and scrunch in Curls in a Bottle - upside down, then right side up. And then I diffuse. But I know not everyone puts products on towel-dried hair. I'd keep experimenting with new ways to use it! Have fun.

Do you normally use gel? The CCCC lite didn't give me much definition or wave enhancement.
