Curly Hair Product Suggestions?

I have extremely curly hair but have only recently started wearing it curly; what gels, shampoo, etc. would you guys suggest?Curly Hair Product Suggestions?
Here are some basic tips for curly hair that you might find helpful:


*Try to find a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair. You can find ratings by region here: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlsalons


*Don't shampoo every day.


*Comb conditioner through hair in the shower.


*Never use a brush, only a comb, or better yet fingers, when wet.


*Apply styling products to dripping wet hair. Scrunch or twirl hair to achieve desired shape.


*Use styling products suited for your hair type. Don鈥檛 know yours? http://www.naturallycurly.com/hair-types


*Avoid terrycloth towels; use microfiber or t-shirts instead.


*Air dry or use a diffuser with your blowdryer.


*Don't touch your hair while it鈥檚 drying.





I recommend trying LA Looks and Herbal essences gels, Suave Naturals/vo5 conditioners (really cheap), Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Condish (semi-cheap but super moisturizing; found at organics/specialty stores), red Cream of Nature shampoo, and L'oreal out of bed instant texturizer (black tub; use under gel). These are all good things to try. Be sure to tinker around with amounts and how you use any products.





For hair-type specific products for you鈥檒l want to explore the forums at:

There you can find others with the same hair type and try out some of their favorite products. So that鈥檚 really useful.





Lastly, it has made my hair so much better since I started the curly girl method! I used to almost never wear it down (it was a frizz/poof ball), but now I have pretty, shiny curls. ~:) It鈥檚 pretty radical鈥攏o sulfates (shampoo) or silicones鈥攂ut it鈥檚 so great for curly hair. Give it a shot and check it out:
