Question:
How can I get my curls to be softer? My curls are kind of stiff when using water and conditioner in the mornings.
Answer:
About your curls being softer...my hair is kind of stiff and crunchy right after it dries. By the next morning it's nice and fluffy. If your hair seems to be stiff every morning after using water and conditioner when you refresh your curls, I'd suggest trying to use less conditioner when you refresh.
In stiff parts, maybe just use water only that day to refresh it, since that area probably already has plenty of conditioner in it. Go a day or two of just water when you refresh it. Then when it softens up, you can go back to adding a tiny bit of conditioner to your hands before you wet them with water and smooth them over your hair.
And if your hair is stiff overall the next day after washing, conditioning, and combing your hair, just refresh your curls with water only. You might also want to smooth your wet hands over your hair a few times (re-wetting your hands each time). When it dries it should be softer. If not, you might need a lighter conditioner, use a bit less, or only refresh your hair the rest of the week with water.
