In my 22 years of caring for my curly q’s it has been a struggle let me know you! But I have a short (and growing) list of products that I have used that I like/liked and want to review here for both myself to remember what I've used as well as you to read and try!
Here goes:
1) L’oreal Sulfate-free (green bottle)This stuff I am pretty positive is the reason my hair has become softer and more together over the past month or two. I like the smell- I like the way it works with my hair-I LOVE the fact that it is Sulfate-free. Only compliant? The bottle is hard to squeeze especially when the product is lower or running out! Otherwise get it and love it!

2) Garnier Fructis Shine Wet Gel
This stuff holds tight, but does make my hair crunchy. I however, don’t really care as much as others who are totally appalled to the idea of having crunchy curls. I can go through a bottle of this in less than a month (more like 2 weeks)! It is very sticky and you have to wash your hands good afterwards. I believe it has alcohol though and I am trying not to dry out my hair so much so may have to turn away from this gem :-(

3) TRESemme Shampoo and Conditioner Moisture Rich like these products, I don’t know how true it is that they are “salon level” but they did make a change in my hair initially when I used them. However, this line is not the natural line and hence has sulfate in the shampoo, boo! :-( Yes, after a while I wasn’t noticing a difference anymore, another :-( Note to self, try the Natural Line!

4) Rave Sculpting Gel This is a low cost brand that is alcohol free! If you use a lot it works better. It is a standby for me now since it is alcohol free and a gel. Both things my long thick DRY curls NEED.

While the jury is still out on if this is actually doing something all the time.... I do love the fact that is it a mousse and a leave in conditioner both good ideas for these crazy curls! I love just about everything Aussie actually :) As for alcohol free... i didn't look, its from a canister so that worries me (usually there is alcohol in canister products) but I love it too much to break my heart just yet ;)
