I’ve recently started a curly journey, and have finally got some products to actually style my hair. I’m discovering my natural texture, but wanted to make my waves/ curls look better. I’m not sure what hair type/texture I have, so I don’t know what products are the best to use. My current routine: -Head and Shoulders Shampoo -Store brand (Sainsbury’s) conditioner applied with hair upside down and then detangled with a brush -Lush curl cream applied to dripping wet hair with “prayer hand” motion, then scrunched -Alberto Balsam styling gel scrunched in (all upside down) -Wrapped in a towel for 5 mins - Diffused upside down using diffuser attachment on regular hairdryer

I usually braid my hair when I sleep, and don’t currently have any kind of refresh routine.

I know I need to get a better gel- the only I have right now isn’t really meant for curly routines but it’s all I have. But is there any other ways I can make my hair look better? Especially looking at definition and volume?
