what are your favorite hair products for managing the curls and making them more lustrous (as opposed to frizzy)?

Do you use mousse? Gel? A certain brand?

What's your favorite shampoo/conditioner?

    I use Garnier fructis sleek and shine anti frizz serum and then herbal essences totally twisted curl scrunching gel...seems to keep mine mostly tamed :happy: can't stand any kind of mousse and I usually use herbal essences shampoo and conditioner

    Awesome topic!

    I have some crazy curly hair that's very coarse.

    I normally keep mine under control with a little bit of gel.

    I love L'oreal Sulfate-free Shampoo and Conditioner. It leaves my hair feeling super soft and smooth.

    This is going to sound weird, but I really like Chi Straight Guard even when I'm leaving my hair curly. It smells good too :smile:

    i generally use pantene--various kinds..I switch it up. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE nexxus humectress shampoo and conditioner--it makes my hair super silky.

    I usually...condition the ends, wash my roots, and then rinse. Then put a bit of conditioner on the tips of my hair that I don't wash out. then I towel dry and use mousse. I'm currently using finesse mousse I think--i don't love it.

    I used to use Herbal Essences tousle me softly shampoo and conditioner w/ their Set Me Up mousse and it worked great but I moved and it didn't really help with the poof but not anymore. Right now I'm experimenting and trying Garnier's sleek and shine, it's decent but I'll try something new next. There are a number of forums like MFP but for curly haired ladies like us! They might be able to help more?

    Interested in knowing what people use. My curls are tight and can be frizzy with no product and sometimes even with.
    What do you ladies use when straightening your hair to protect it?

    I like to use spray gel, not the thick kind, but more liquid.

    LOVE this topic!!! DevaCurl all the way!! You can get it on Amazon, but I go to a stylist trained for curly hair. Have never been happier with it.

    I use Herbal Essance Shampoo/Conditioner/Mousse. Sometimes I switch up my shampoo/conditioner but always use the same mousse. :love:

    I use FX Special Effects Brazilian Smooth Keratin Silk Serum I buy it at walmart..I like it better then the frizz ease stuff. It is also cheaper then frizz ease. I just started getting curly hair for some reason and it frizzes up on me and when I wash my hair I put that stuff in and it keeps the curls together and not frizzy..=)

    I use the Suave version of the Nexxus Humectress shampoo. It's fantastic, and WAYYYY cheaper! My hair feels so soft. I like the John Freida mousse. It makes my curls look really shiny and pretty and doesn't have that crunchy feel to it when it dries.

    I just cut 10 inches off my hair, so now that it's *just* to my shoulders, it explodes into curls. I'm loving the new Suave Whipped Cream Mousse for styling because it makes them soft and pretty and my hair doesn't look like I stuck my finger in a light socket.

    I actually use Herbal Essences gel in my hair when it's wet, but I usually end up straightening it.

    I second DevaCurl products! Buy her book, Curly Girl: The Handbook by Lorraine Massey and Michele Bender (Jan 13, 2011). It changed my thinking about how I treat my hair and I haven't had a bad hair day since! I can't recommend it enough!

    After I get out of the shower I throw my hair in a towel for a few minutes, comb it out with a wide tooth comb and put extra hold mousse in, then take my blow dryer and put it on low heat and hold it about 6 inches away and dry it while scrunching it, then after I do that for a few minutes I spray it with hair spray :) I have fructis pure clean 2-in-1 for mornings cause I'm always in a rush and I use either herbal essences or suave professionals for when I have the time to shampoo and condition lol, I really like suave professionals rosemary and mint, and now I'm trying out te keratin shampoo and conditioner which makes my hair smooth when I blow dry. Oh and I love my hair curly when it's brown, but I hate it curly when it's blonde. Isn't that weird !
