Define Curls...curly Afros..curly Styles

Hi, My name is Myah and I am going into my senior year of high school.
My hair has been natural my whole life and I have never desired to put chemicals in it.
I have thick curly hair,(maybe 4(a)..with some 3b)..i don't know) that can be super curly when wet. I like that look, and I've tried to maintain that look with various products. One is particular is Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding. It only really works for me when I twist my hair at night, wet it in the morning, apply the cream, then take my twists out. It creates a beautiful natural curl, that usually lasts for a few days.

I usually wear my hair back in a big puff or a curly puff (if I did the style I described) but I'm beginning to think that the constant pulling back of my hair is causing stress towards it. Especially the front which is shorter than the rest of my hair.

I am looking for styles/products that would allow me to wear my hair in a naturally curly style without me having to pull it up. I think it would allow me more versatilty when styling, when I don't want to get my hair twisted or pressed (which I rarely do, because I had an experience of it getting permantly straightened).

Thanks and hopefully someone can help me get this look.

Hey, welcome to NP! I suggest doing a search and using the keywords "curl definition". You'll find a LOT of threads on that

Have you tried Kinky Curly Curling Custard? What products do you use other than Miss Jessie's? There are sooo many threads about difining curls on this website. Hope you can achieve the look you want. Good luck w/ that

Picture #1 could be a twist out from a twist set.

My hair is way shorter but a twist set is the only way I can achieve any thing that even remotely resembles it.

I love the Kinky Curly Knot Today leave-in under Kinky Curly curling custard for my wash and go styles.

I aslo like Blended Beauty Happy nappy styles and Curls Milkshake.
