I'm here now with an interlude in the midst of the world burning to give details that no one actually asked for on an urgent, edge-of-your-seats issue:
My hair.
My hair.
I know y'all're thinking "She must be joking" "Ugh, so full of herself" or whatever other fake judgments of me that I just made up in my head.
But I'm serious!
I get unexpected Zoom chat DMs like 2x a week with compliments for my hair. They are much appreciated!

And since y'all (kind of didn't) ask, I'm happy to share the few simple steps I take to get hair this comment-worthy.
Step 1:
I was born a (white) girl with thick, curly/wavy hair.

I wash my hair with bar shampoo & conditioner from a work-at-home mom that only sells through invite-only FB groups. She doesn't even have a website. You have to join "The Squirmy Worm" buy group on FB to order it through a Google spreadsheet.
The Happy Hausfrau. Worth it.

While my hair is still wet, I use this 
leave-in conditioner that CHANGED MY (hair) LIFE.
Also, LUSH has really good practices for packaging recycling and reclamation, and lots of social benefit funding. I honestly love them as a company. https://www.lushusa.com/hair/hair-treatments/randb/9999903832.html

(Aside: I'm ok using LUSH bar shampoos (I sometimes travel with them), but their bar conditioner actually is too greasy for my hair, and it doesn't last nearly long enough for the high price point.)
Next, I spritz my hair with this and then do a little scrunching or even a bit of active twirling to encourage the curls to form.
Eufora stuff is highly concentrated (i.e. less water) so there's more product per bottle. Good packaging practice! https://eufora.net/collections/curln/products/perfect-curl-activator-1

Then I use this hair dryer: https://www.sallybeauty.com/tools-and-brushes/hair-styling-tools/hair-dryers/full-size-folding-ionic-hair-dryer/SBS-510130.html
(I
this dryer! My 1st one broke when I dropped it too many times, so I got another.)
With this diffuser: https://www.sallybeauty.com/tools-and-brushes/hair-styling-tools/hair-dryers/black-universal-diffuser/SBS-301148.html
On high heat / low power. Not until fully dry, just to zap the ends & roots, <5 mins.

You'll notice none of these steps included a brush or a comb. I mean, I own a brush, but it mostly collects dust.
...unless I'm going for straight, which requires a brush, a comb, an iron, clips, a different dryer attachment, and WAY MORE TIME than anybody has.

This entire curly hair routine takes <15 minutes, and I only do it every other day.
I knew you were all desperate for this thread, so YOU'RE WELCOME, but also I just really wanted to hype the products I've been using for years, because good hair comes from good products.
