How do you guys take care of your curls (3c)? I’ve always worn it out, but I’m trying to keep it in a braid now & use a leave in. I’m just working towards hair health and length retention/growth. None of my siblings/parents have the same hair as me

I have 3c/4a. It was always pretty long (bra strap length at minimum) but it didn’t start truly flourishing until I stopped wearing it out so much. Wash n go’s, braid outs, twist outs, etc let the ends rub on my clothes and that encouraged knots which led to more breakage on the ends than necessary. I started doing cornrows+ glueless/combless wigs. Now it’s tailbone length and I’m growing it to mid thigh length. I wear it out occasionally but 99% of the time it’s in a protective style.

Shea moisture products eat down… I just wash it, put a leave in and comb through it in sections and let it air dry… I have 3c-4a

& I’m. 5’8.5 so that’s over 30 inches in length. I wash every two weeks then put it in pigtail cornrows usually. I do an aphogee protein treatment 2 or 3 times a year. I keep my routine simple and focus on hydration and keeping my strands as detangled as possible between washes and not manipulating it between washes.
