Shampoo/Conditioner for Curly Hair?

Go to naturallycurly.com or curltalk.com. GREAT advice there! I've found recipes to make my own products and for awhile used Suave coconut conditioner as a 'co-wash' instead of shampoo. Or shampoo bars. Also make my own flax seed gel.

Stay away from silicones and sulfates- your hair will thank yoU!

This. Though I don't make my own stuff... I'm too lazy for that!

I switched to the curly girl method a couple years ago and I'll never go back. My hair is so much less frizzy and more defined, and I spend a TON less on product.

I use:

1. Suave coconut conditioner as cowash (instead of shampoo). You do use more of it than you would shampoo (a bottle usually lasts me 1.5-2 weeks). It's Around $1 a bottle.

2. Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Mousse daily while my hair is still wet ($3 - though I usually use coupons).

3. LA Looks Gel Daily - while my hair is still sopping wet ($2)

4. Suave spray gel if I'm leaving my hair and not washing it on a second day ($3).

5. Giovanni Deep Conditioner - once a month or as needed for a deep condition -- $8 at Target.

6. Apple-cider-vinegar every 3-4 months or whenever I feel my hair getting a build up (usually from sunscreens or lotions, NOT from the conditioners) $3.

I don't use a towel (they suck the moisture out of your hair), and just dry my hair very breifly in a t-shirt and let it air dry from there. I never actually brush my hair - only use a wide mouthed comb, or sometimes just my fingers, when my hair is wet. Normally I "plop", where you tie your hair up in the t-shirt over your head instead of the towel etc. You really can do this with just the Co-Wash and the Gel and skip all the other stuff at first - that's how I started. If nothing else, it's something cheap to try for a little while! Usually you have to stick with it a couple months, and a lot of people go through a transition period where your scalp is trying to normalize after all the years of taking the "good oils" away constantly....

Hi! I have curly hair due to a perm, and we both know how that can frizz! The best thing I have found is Garnier Fructise for frizz control. It leaves my hair soft, never weighed down, and controls the frizz! Good luck!
