YALL IM OBSESSED WITH THIS ANIMATION

thank you all so much for 50 followers!! I’ll be sure to make something special to celebrate it when I get back from the out of state marching band competition (and when I’m all caught up on my schoolwork)!!

So I somehow forgot I had naturally curly hair until I read anon’s question. I also have some input!!

The shorter your hair is, the curlier it will get. Also the more humid the place you live in, the curlier your hair will be. This is advice from someone living in a desert with naturally curly hair like Sherlock’s. I use a wavy hair mousse when I apply product, and that helped with frizz when my hair was longer.

He’s right that shampoos and conditioners made for curls work best because that’s usually all my brother and I use (suave ocean breeze shampoo and coconut conditioner; both hydrate curls, ocean breeze deals with frizz, and the coconut one has coconut extract. Apparently there’s controversy on whether coconut oil is good for curly hair though).

As for how I dry it, for over a decade we didn’t have a hairdryer at my mom’s house for whatever reason, so my brother and I are used to letting our hair air dry naturally.

And I get compliments on my hair and I’ve literally done nothing except wash it with conditioner/shampoo, so I guess, there’s two sides of the coin: those that apply a vast amount of product and have lengthy hair routines to upkeep their hair a certain way, and those that just try whatever and hope for the best….I’m the latter.

I’m aware that my advice is almost the complete opposite of what Sherlock gave but that’s a perfect example of how everyone’s different. Try what you want to try, and use whatever works best for you! Also keep in mind different shampoos, conditioners and mousses may have different effects on your hair (I know one I tried turned my hair completely flat and I hated it), different climates will impact it, and your type of natural curl will impact it.

I’m aware this is a Sherlock rp account but I’m bored on a bus heading home after 8 hours and I never get to talk about my curls with anyone or anywhere

Hi Sherlock, may I have some tips on how to take care of wavy hair? I used to wear my hair very short but recently I have let it grow. Wow, every morning when I get up, my head looks like a mushroom cloud. Just overwhelming. Thank you!

Hello.

Maintaining wavy — or, in my case, curly — hair requires more than just effort; it demands precision and discipline.

It's important to use high-end products to ensure your hair is always well-nourished and keeps its natural shine. I am talking about salon-grade shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for curly hair.

I have a very detailed hair washing process, including multiple rinses to ensure every product is fully removed. I leave the conditioner in for the exact recommended time.

Letting my hair dry naturally, makes it look messy. Therefore, I use a high-tech hairdryer with a diffuser attachment. Be aware that too much heat could damage the structure of your hair.

After that, I use a combination of curl creams, leave-in conditioners, and light gels to define the curls without making them too stiff. Each product is applied in small, precise amounts, and I take my time to distribute them evenly to avoid build-up. When circumstances allow, I'll section and hand-twist individual curls to fall exactly where they should.

I finish with a mist of a lightweight hairspray to keep everything in place.

This is something I do every 3 to 4 days.

In the mornings, upon waking, I use a hydrating curl-refresh spray to prepare my hair for detangling any knots or kinks caused by sleeping. I don't use a comb, only my fingers to loosen the hair enough to reshape it without disturbing the overall structure.

I then use a curl-cream to provide a bit of hold and definition. As a finishing touch, I run my hands through my hair one last time, shaking it out to create a natural messy, yet styled look.

Some may think this routine excessive (I'm sure John has his opinions on the matter @johnhwatsonblog), but I believe in attention to detail. Appearances, after all, can be useful when weaponised properly.

So, for anyone looking for a shortcut to dealing with curly hair — I suggest cutting it short. Otherwise, accept that precision takes time.

funnily enough im doing this today, we’re dressing up like it’s a fancy dance and going to McDonald’s

My friends and I used to do this thing where we'd dress up on a theme and go do something totally normal.

We dressed up as pirates and went bowling.

We dressed as vikings and went to the grocery store. The security guard told us we had to move our longship because it was illegally parked.

We dressed as Romans and went to Blockbuster. The staff chanted, "toga! Toga! Toga!" at us.

We dressed up all steampunk and went to the museum. Tourists kept taking our picture.

Your oc reminds me of someone 😜 (jk, I’m not one for lust)

I like the symbolism 👀

Made them in a bin:

Day 2:

Send one fact about your oc

I COULDNT DECIDE BETWEEN SHERLOCK, GOOD OMENS OR WILL WOOD FOR HALLOWEEN BUT I THINK IM GONNA DO WILL WOOD AND HOPEFULLY NOT REGRET IT (just cuz I have more of the materials so it’s more doable)
