Okay so related to this, every curly and wavy hair routine I see includes some kind of mousse or gel? Is this necessary? I fucking hate how gel and mouse makes my hair feel

I don't like how gel or mousse feel, either! I use this curl cream: us.davines.com/products/love-curl-cream

OH! So! Try Miss Jessie’s! You cannot feel it at ALL. And it works better than the crunchy shit.

You gotta use something, but it doesn’t have to be gel or mouse. Like you can use silicon based styling product (they call themselves oils but that’s a lie. It’s a touch of oil and mostly silicon). But that only works if you’re keeping your hair in a shape that’s similar to its natural one

I do too. I would have more defined waves/curls if I used it but I hate using it so I juuust...don't most of the time. My hair is more soft and fluffy but that's how I prefer it

I have 2c curls and once I switched to using shampoo and conditioner bars (Kitsch), I didn’t need mousse anymore. My only styling product is Kitsch Styling Mist, which is cruelty-free, a must for me.

My stylist recently introduced me to Cult+King with their Multiverse and I have fallen in love with it! cultandking.com/product/multiverse-one-styling-product-for-infinite-hair-realities/
