Garnier Hair Mousse XXL to volumize does wonders. It softens your hair and keeps the curls looking good!What do you think are the best hair products for natuarlly curly hair?
Well first you should do some protein and deep conditioning treatments and trim any split ends you may have before they move up the hair shaft. If your hair is very damaged you can only hide the damage, not fix it. Hair is dead, nothing can repair it. But the treatments and trimming ragged ends will give hair a healthier appearance until you can cut off all the damaged hair. Then you can focus on maintaining your hair's health





I like http://naturallycurly.com and http://nappturality.com and other like sites becuase it helped me understand my texture instead of just calling it unruly, wild, frizzy, poofy, unmanageble, nappy, afro etc. I found out I have 4A/B texture, my hair is CURLY, and why my hair does the things it does. I love the products advice and curly support too. And I HIGHLY recommend the CG method. You have to read the book Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey to fully understand it but I outlined it below:





CG METHOD:


1. No brushing


2. Only comb hair with a wide tooth comb with conditioner in it.


3. Do not wash every day. Opinion differs but it can anywhere from every other day to once every two weeks. Curly hair is easily dried out and needs natural oils to help curls clump. Focus on scalp when you do wash. Hair gets clean from run off.


4. Eliminate sulfates/silicones from hair products, they build up in curly hair causing frizz.


5. Curly hair eats up moisture. Deep treatments every two weeks, condition every time you shampoo or even co wash (wash hair with condish) and have a leave in condish every day.


6. Twist/braids at night to avoid tangling.


7. Apply gel after washing hair or a humectant, This prevents frizz.


8. Plop hair with an micro fiber towel rather than terry cloth.


8. Touch hair very little throughout the day.

TERRI'S METHOD:


If you don't want to get rid of your sulfates/silicones. It can be hard to find products without them or the CG method doesn't work for your hair I like this site and Terri's method:

The only difference between these two methods? Not much besides the products and plopping. Any method that decreases frizz and makes curly hair healthier will include


1. Some type of humectant to hold curls together in humidity


2. lots of conditioner


3. no brushing


4. shampooing less


5. combing hair only when it has conditioner in it and NEVER DRY.
any brand of moist shampoo and conditioner. there's also shampoos and conditioners that are for curly hair but i think all they do is enhance your curl.
