QuoteReplyTopic: Tame them curls girls Posted: March 21 2008 at 5:00am
Okay so I just purchased my first lf and it is a tight wavy. I wanted to get some tips on taming it so I decided to visit the curly hair forum and stumbled across this. The article mentions products by curly hair solutions. You can find these products here http://www.naturallycurly.com/. I think that I'm going to try the curl keeper.
This guide offers tips on how to manage and maintain healthy curly hair as well as some amazing recommended products that really do work!
Ok, so I found another site http://alagio.com/ . This line of products was voted most wanted hair product by style magazine and they have a curly line. The best thing is that the website has a list of stores where this can be purchased so you can probably run out to the store and pick this up instead of ordering online.

I also just received my first tight curl from Jacksun ( bought it off a member). I was a little scared of all those curls, cuz when I put her on it was too much and the looked kinda "ashy". I washed the unit using my Dominican 10en1 shampoo (LOVE THIS STUFF), then nuked her with Solicon mix for a minute, rinsed, then mixed Silicon Leave-In with Whale Sperm Oil and applied and sealed with coconut oil. I wanted to see the result, so I blow dried her....cool air only with a diffuser. And the curls are soft, moisterized, defined, and shiny!
Just my two cents on what worked for me.

sounds like a great combo for the curly's cuz you know they high maintenance so that definitely sounds like that got the trick done..

This may not be a popular opinion, but I don't think curly hair NEEDS curly hair products! haha. What I mean is, if you look at the ingredients in a curly hair product, it will be similar (in general) to that of any other product for straight. All that is added is maybe a moisturizer/conditioner and a holding product (like gel). I have naturally curly spirally hair. When I wear my hair curly, I have to layer products. I would always start with wet to damp hair, then a light leave-in, then a light serum, then a gel (hard or soft). I believe that these are what curly hair products basically are. another thing I want to add: water with nothing else on the hair, will DRY the hair! think about it: if you lick your lips without lip balm, they will dry out. It's the same with hair --- water is not a moisturizer, but it is great as a base before leave-ins/serums/oils/gels. Hope this helps someone? LOL! Thanks for listening/reading.
What do you mean by sealing your hair with coconut oil? Do you make it a liquid first then apply to your hair like it's a hair balm? Do you have to nuke it again to make it seal. Just curious.
Thanks

Lj, I wanted to reply to your post, although I'm not CoolAz!
I hope I can speak for her and tell you that by sealing with coconut oil, she means applying the oil right over a leave-in. This way the leave-in is 'sealed' into the hair and won't dry out as quickly. You don't have to nuke the coconut oil.
