01/30/2019 UPDATE: I recently used my favorite Kinky-Curly products using a process called “damp styling”. To read how to damp style wavy curly hair or to see my results, visit my post after reading this one!
As promised, here is an update on my curly hair journey. Today was wash day, which is always exciting. What will my curls look like this week? I decided to combine styling products from the same hair-care product vendor to see what results I could achieve. This week, I used Kinky-Curly Knot Today Leave-In Conditioner/Detangler and Kinky-Curly Curly Custard. (Full Disclosure: Some of the product links in this post are affiliate links. This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive a small affiliate commission. This helps keep my blog running!)
Here’s what I love about these natural hair products before I even apply them to my hair!

Kinky-Curly Refresh Days
I felt the Kinky-Curly products lasted for a good three days after wash day with little to no refresh products. The impending frizz that usually shows up on Day 2 hair didn’t show up until the end of Day 3. My curls kept their shape even with two workout days in the mix! So far, this hair routine has worked the best for my 2c/3a curls.
