Hello!
You have mentioned that you have a combination of Type 3B & C curly hair, your youngest son has Type 3 curly hair, and that your oldest has combination Type 3 and 4A curly hair. Now, one thing that you left out is whether you or your sons have fine, medium0textured, or coarse curly hair. But, I am going to do my best with providing the right recommendations for all three of you anyways, okay.
Now, for your children's hair, here's what I recommend that you get: CURLY Q Curlie Cutie, CURLY Q Coconut Dream Conditioner, CURLY Q Moist Curls Moisturizer, and the CURLY Q Custard.
Here's the instructions on how to use the products in the boys hair after washing and conditionig it first:
1. Spray your son's hair with the Moist Curls while it is soaking wet all over and then massage it in.
2. Next, take a small section of your son's hair with your fingers, take either a natural boar bristle or wide-toothed comb and detangle the section of hair(working from the bottom to the top).
3. After detangling the small section, then apply the Custard to it and make sure to thoroughly smooth it through.
4. Afterwards, you then just take another small section of your son's hair with your fingers and repeat the same steps all over again (detangle, apply product, smooth it through). If you get to a piece of hair that has already started to dry out, then just re-dampen it with the Moist Curls.
5. You would take a fist full of your son's hair at a time, scrunch it, and then just keep repeating this all over the head until you have achieved the desired curly look you desire for your son's hair. And, lastly you would just let your son's hair airdry, okay.
When your son's are taking their bath at night try to keep their curls from getting wet and shrinking and frizzing. So, if you could get them to put on a plastic bathing cap at night before washing that would be a great idea.
In the mornings, to get your son's hair back to looking its best, you would first spray your son's hair all over with Moist Curls. You are only to spray enough to dampen your son's hair and first refresh it after his having slept on it all night. As, your son's hair should never be left dripping wet. After you have finished spraying your son's hair all over, then you would then just thoroughly massage it into his hair. Next, you would apply small amounts of the Milkshake to your son's hair and you would make sure to thoroughly smooth it through. And, lastly, you would take a widetoothed comb or natural boar bristle brush, lightly detangle the ends of your son's hair. and then let it airdry.
This is how you would handle all both of your boys hair after washing and conditioning it as well as on a daily basis, okay.
For your hair, I would recommend your using products from the CURLS line.. Here's all that I recommend that you get: CURLS Curliscious Cleansing Cream, CURLS Ecstasy Asian Hair Tea Conditioner, CURLS Quenched Moisturizer, and CURLs Curl Souffle.
Here's recommendations on how to use the products effectively in your hair:
. Make sure that your hair stays soaking wet after rinsing out the conditioner. You are to never rub the hair, but you are to instead ligthly blot the hair a few time to just lightly rid the hair of a small amount of water. But, because curly hair loves moisture, the more water that your hair retains the better.
2. Section of the hair into 4 or more sections. Use hair clips to keep the hair sectioned.
3. Take your first section, and then spray it with Curls Quenched, detangle it with a brush (working your way from the bottom slowly up to the top), and then apply either Curls Souffle or Curls Goddes Glaze to it (making sure to thoroughly smooth the product through with your fingers).
4. Next, you will move on to your next section and repeat the same steps all over again (spray, detangle, apply product, smooth it through).
5. You will scrunch your hair all over. Scrunching is done in order to better enhance your hair's texture.
6. Lastly, you will just let your hair fully airdry without touching it.
In the mornings, you would re-spray your hair all over with Curls Quenched. You would do this in order to first refresh your curls after they have been slept on. You are to spray only enough to dampen your hair, as you hair should not be left dripping wet. Lastly, you would re-apply a little bit of Curls Souffle or Goddess Glaze and then you would scrunch your curls into better form.
Always make sure to cover your hair with a plastic cap before bathing in order to keep from getting your hair wet. Also, to protect your hair overnight from getting excessively tangled or matted, then sleeping on a satin pillowcase or satin bonnet is a must. And, washing you and your boys hair once a week is all that is necessary okay.
Make sure to always emulsify the styling creams before aply it to either you are your boys heads. And, do not be heavy handed with the creams, as they are concentrated products and a little goes a long way okay.
I do know that alot of people are on a budget nowadays due to current economic conditions, so even if you just got full-sizes of CURLY Moist Curls, CURLY Q Custard, CURLS Souffle and got 3 free samples sizes of the CURLS Quenched Moisturizer (which would equal to 6 ounces of free product), you would okay doing that. Now, with any order you can have 3 free sample sizes products sent out with your purchase. So, during checkout, you will see a "Comment" box come up. And, when that box comes up,, then you just type in that you want 3 free sample sizes of Curls Quenched sent out to you okay.
Good luck

! And, if you have any questions or concerns after you get any of the products home, then don't be afraid to share them okay!
Good luck!
