LMAO......... took me long enough to come back and finish up this post 🥲

gotta thank the reno guys for making me stuck here nearby the residence instead of chilling in the hotel.....i got est 3.5 more hours to go bruh 💀 and it's only the 2nd day................

anyway!!!! what prompted me to do up this post. it's been about 3 months since the curly hair era started so i thought why not note down some of the holy grails i really swear by that have been retaining my curls so far!!!!! 😄 considering i have asian, straight fine hair with frizz originally lol

my final verdict after 3months and this is what i would highly, HIGHLY recommend or avoid!!!!!!!!!!!

✅ 1. olaplex no3

WHATEVER IT HAS inside this bottle.........it's amazing omg.

found it thru the comments via reddit, and it really did not disappoint considering the hefty price tag 🥹

verdict: went thru 3 bottles of it / 10 LOL

best used pre-wash, and i marinate that shit in for 30mins or more! (though they say 10-15 mins is good enough). i love the look on me once i get out of the shower lolol

✅ 2. mise en scene hydrating hair serum

i think this is meant for girlies with super dry hair texture but i don't like serums that leave my hair greasy after washing, so this is perfect! once you apply this all over your damp hair, it doesn't leave a sticky feeling on your hair, absorbs well, and your hands don't feel sticky after at all (legit like water). 3 pumps was just nice for my fine, medium length hair. and then i top it off with the hair bonnet to sleep in it and wake up with my curls still bouncy and plump --- loveeeeeeeee it so much 💗

🛑🛑  3. repit kera styling foam

well this was recommended to me by the hair stylist that did my hair -- i must say the curls were alot more defined and bouncier if i applied this but i felt like it also weighed my hair down too after a while. and then she also recommended to use 8-9 pumps each time which i thought was fking crazy lol 🫣
