Very helpful, thanks! I'm finally accepting that I have hard water, and the build-up weighs my fine hair down too much. Thanks to this thread, I bought some Burt's Bees baby shampoo and plan to try...

I second the coconut oil! It's the only oil I've tried so far my low porosity hair actually absorbs, and my hair doesn't get weighed down if I only use a couple drops (very fine hair). My hair is so...

This method worked really well for me too! I used a bandanna, then plopped about 15 minutes after scrunching, and my hair was frizz free and shiny. Didn't even need to apply extra product. Thanks for...

I've recently switched from gel to using Alba Botanical Soft Hold Curl Cream. It seems to provide more hold than CCCCL for me without weighing down my fine hair. It gives me soft, touchable hair for...

I got them in the travel section at Rite Aid, but I bet they had them at any drugstore. It is really hard for me to scrub my scalp in the shower too, without yanking out hair anyway. Maybe it's a...

I really like Argan oil, but I only use a few drops at a time. I mix 4 or 5 drops with a little water and protein spray in my palm and scrunch it on dry hair, just the ends. I use it sometimes to...

I have very fine hair, so I don't always want clumps. When I do want them, I don't rake products through my hair. I gather it into 3 ponytails/sections, one in the middle and one on either side of my...

Le me know what you think! The dry plopping worked really well for me getting 2nd day hair. I feel like I'm plopping all the time now though, lol, right out of the shower, almost dry, and at night. I...

I don't focus on clumping either. I don't mind having less curly hair if I get bigger volume! Plus, now that I've been CG for serial months, my hair is in such good shape that OCing is too easy, and...

Yeah, that thread gave me the idea to try it on slightly damp hair. Seemed like it was only about plopping with fully dry hair.

Plopping almost dry hair

Does anybody else do this? Lately I've diffused almost dry, about 80% or so, then I plop again using the Live Curly Live Free method. Seems to give me extra root volume.

2b or 2c?

I'm pretty sure I've figured out my hair properties, so I thought it would be fun to know my hair type. I think I'm a 2b, but I'm not positive. What do you guys think?
