    If you have really wavy, thick hair, and are still having troubles managing it, one possible solution is a keratin treatment. These are straightening services that can minimize some of the frizziness.

    Is there a routine for 2A hair?

    I’m between 2A and 2B. What I do is brush my hair before my shower. I shampoo my scalp/roots area and use conditioner on the hair from my ears to tops, and don’t put it on my scalp. I rinse, then lightly dry my hair with a towel. I let my hair air dry without touching it or lying on it, and when it’s just a little damp, I braid it and sleep. In the morning, I take it out slowly.

    Can I use Morrocan oil to keep my hair silky?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but don't use too much or it will weigh down your hair and make it lose its volume. Also, using too much will make your hair look greasy.

    Pantene has silicone, sulfate, and paraben. Isn't that bad for wavy hair?
    Community Answer
    Yes, it is. My favorites are Herbal Essences and Alberto Balsam. I also suggest you air dry your hair and avoid using heat protectant. Doing this made my hair completely straight and it took 4 months to return to its original shape.

    Squeeze about a quarter-sized circle into your hand, then scrub that into your roots. Use a little less conditioner.

    After washing and conditioning, scrunch a gel or other product with hold into your hair. Scrunch from the bottom toward the scalp, this will encourage the waves, air dry or diffuse. Try to avoid daily washing and use a curl refresher on 2nd or 3rd day hair. There are commercial refreshers or you can make your own. I put water in a spray bottle and add a small amount of conditioner and styling gel, then spray and scrunch, let air dry.

    If you want straight hair ,you can use relaxer. But it burns. Or if you want Afro, first spray with water, then spray with conditioner and stress it. Stay strong and confident.
