i think youd look great with bangs! even if you dont end up liking them, theyll grow out sooo fast (which does make maintenance trims happen more often than you expect but at that length youd have more buffer time)

oh also this tool is helpful for checking ingredient lists www.isitcg.com

i have loose curls so after it was dry i would try to avoid touching it at all bc it'd disrupt the curl pattern, and i def reccomend a curl activator, mousse, and (a little) gel

curly girl subreddits are super helpful too!

looks great already! for my routine, i'd finish showering and bend over to let all my hair fall away from my head bc it helps get to the roots, then i'd scrunch with a t-shirt to mostly dry, scrunch in product, plop into the shirt to set, remove after face stuff, air dry, and scrunch out the crunch
