My hair is about opposite of yours in properties but never have been able to refresh with water. Half wet or misting just makes it yucky, frizzy mess. Total wet and restyle or just looped ponytail...

My hair curls when I scrunch it...Put gel in my hands and push the hair up toward the head, squish it in my hands; but this only works if your hair is curly by its nature, I think.

Pattern Pusha did not get along with my hair at all. I don't think I have moldable hair. And it flaked up. The CJ Curl Queen is nice and medium hold, it has such a loud smell though (and not the...

Yay! Yes, Re:Coil plus ArcAngell is my go-to combination. I like the ArcAngel because it's medium hold so I can use enough to get it to distribute to all the hair, and yes for me it also seems to...

I joke about it with my kids but it is almost always true that if my hair feels good and soft and silky when it's dry and styled, it is a frizz bomb.

I go for smooth and strong feeling when...

Opposite, actually. I have found over time that the curlier I can get it to look while it's wet, the less frizz will result. I assume this is because it's already in its shape so then is able to...
