Okay, just to start off: I only really have “curly” hair in my front pieces. I usually use Marc Anthony shampoo and conditioner, and I only use the curl cream, curl mousse, etc. when I actually want my curls to show. If I don’t do the curly routine at all, I get zero curls—my hair is basically straight.

I also regularly blow-dry my hair and don’t use a diffuser because I don’t really have the time, especially since I’m mostly focusing on just the front pieces. My curls are kind of strange: they’re mostly wavy, but I usually get about three full coils, and I honestly love them.

The problem is that I haven’t done my curly routine in about three months (I’ve been addicted to heatless curls 😅).This time, they didn’t show at all—just straight hair with a slight wave.

Did I lose my curls, or should I try my curly routine again in a few days and see if they come back?

    If you have not seen our WIKI yet: Please check it out! It's nearly 100 pages full of curated information to help answer all of your curl-related questions. You can use the included Table of Contents (page 2), the side bar, or CTRL-F to search for keywords and help navigate the document.

    Reminder: Curl type is NOT your hair type! Whether you are wavy, curly, or coily - you have texture and you belong here. More than that, your curl type doesn't dictate how you care for your hair. To help your curls thrive, we recommend instead using the wiki link above to learn about your porosity, texture, and density.

    If this is a photo submission: Please include your detailed routine for your post to remain active! This MUST include the brands of ALL products used, order of application and technique used to apply them, how you dried your hair, and anything else that you might find useful for people to know.

    Thank you. Wishing you many happy, wonderfully curly hair days!

  • My hair is definitely curly but if I blow dry w no diffuser they completely disappear

  • If you live in a location that is currently experiencing winter weather, that's likely having a huge impact.

    Yeah, it's bad. I can't seem to get enough moisture in my hair and the static is a powerful hair straightener 😞
