I'm around a 3b/c. I apply my leave-in and use a mixture of Paul Mitchell Super Sculpt and a few drops of Paul Mitchell Foaming Pomade, followed by Kerastase Oleo-Relax Elixir. This gives a really nice shiny defined look.
However, I find I can't use them if I plan to co-wash for the week, as the some of the ingredients aren't water soluable. If I'm co-washing for the week, I co-wash with Nexxus Phyto Organics Humectin conditioner and use the Nexxus Phyto Organics Luxtress leave-in and Phyto 7, followed by Paul Mitchell Round Trip (with water soluable silicones), and put it in a ponytail.
Regular washes I uses Elucence shampoos, Affirm 5 in 1, KeraCare Humecto, and Mizani Hydraphuse.
I don't have my regimine down 100% yet (as I've been wearing weaves throughout my entire transition), but so far this is working for me when it's not straightened.
When I am straigtening, I use only Kerastase and Redken products.
