| I've been growing my hair out for a year, and am FINALLY loving that fact that it's really curly. But lately, I've been reading that curly hair should be shampooed as little as possible, and that I should use a "cleansing conditioner." Supposedly, this type of conditioner will clean my hair of any products without the awful detergents in shampoos. I haven't found one of these conditioners, though--can anyone tell me anything about them? I don't want to dry out/damage my hair now that I'm at peace with all these curls! |

That is the new craze, but it's not for everyone. Some people love it, but I've seen many pictures, and frankly a lot thier hair looks dirty, dull, and dry. There's a book called curly girl that talks about it. it's 10 bucks. People complain a lot about dandruff, breakouts, and all sorts of gross stuff from doing this. Personally, if your happy now, don't change a thing. |

| Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, I'm not exactly happy with the way things are now--I really do have awfully dry hair, even though I never use a blowdryer or a lot of styling products. I'm 1/2 Mexican, and so I get the dry, frizzy, wild look if I'm not careful. I'll look for the book you recommended. Anyone know the exact name of these so-called "cleansing conditioners?" |

Well, I don't know what a cleansing conditioner is, but I can recommend some products...check out www.ouidad.com. This is a salon in Manhattan that specializes in curly hair. They have some wonderful products--Clear Control is my personal favorite to get rid of the frizzies. I've actually had my hair cut there & it was very cool being in a salon where every single person has curly hair. I never realized how many different kind of curls there are! |
