Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone can suggest any good products for naturally curly hair...preferably in the UK, but sometimes I can find international products. I find if I don't swap and change products my hair gets bored and I don't get the same results. Anyone care to share any secrets?

Thanks

Cat

    I'm not from the UK but do you have an Avon or any place that sells Advanced Techniques products?

    I'm not sure if you have it in the UK, but I'm a big fan of the Herbal Essences Curl Construct!

    Frizz Ease, expensive but the best thing I've found! Usually stock up on a load when Boots have it on offer (2 for £7.50 at the mo)

    Do you know any hairdressers or anyone who stocks keune? Keune curl activator spray is fantastic. If not i also use beyond the zone noodle head spray, you can get it in Sallys. :happy:

    Bumble and Bumble Curl Conscious Nourishing Masque - I love this stuff. I use it once a week, but you can use as often as you like. My curls look amazing aftr I use it.

    Moroccan Oil (the cream) - I use this everyday. Gives me enough weight to get rid of fly aways, but it keeps all the curls really soft.

    Go to www.pakcosmetics.com
    I get all my products from there. I use creme of nature shampoo and conditioner and use hair mayonnaise treatment once a month. http://www.pakcosmetics.com/brand/africas-best/organics-olive-oil/organics-olive-oil-moisturizing-growth-lotion.html I use this daily. Just put a little bit through my hair so it doesn't dry out. I have to use these kind of products on my hair because "normal" shop brands do nothing for my hair!

    Me too, When my hair gets bored I use Neutrogena Shampoo, Anti-Residue Formula or a dandruff shampoo to remove the shampoo/conditioner residue. Then go back to whatever shampoo i was using.
    But I'm going to have to try some of these.

    Hmmmm we have Herbal Essences but don't think we have that variant... I used to work for a health and beauty distributor and was amazed that there was so many more variants available worldwide to products than I'd realised!

    I've pondered about Aveda before... might give it a go. Not had much luck personally with the bed head stuff though : (

    I used to love frizz ease and it worked awesome on my hair as a kid but as an adult, not so much : ( might give it another go tho!

    John Frieda Collection Frizz-Ease Dream Curls Curl-Perfecting Spray

    Then I spray a little hair spray on after that and scrunch. It looks more natural but still holds my curls and doesn't leave me frizzy.

    Keune hmmm not heard of it but I'll have a mooch about! As for beyond the zone, think I've debated buying this in the past.

    Oooo bumble and bumble, i'd forgotten about them! As for moroccan oil, that's something else I've really wanted to try but been a little unsure of!

    I have crazy curly hair and am allergic to botanicals, so it is a challenge. Aveda has been good to me as has Dove products. I go between a hair lotion and mouse. Hope this helps.
