Dear Curly Suzy:
My hair has been natural since July 2009. I need a good shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner and another products to make my hair more manageable. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I have in my cart, Elucence Moisture Balancing Conditioner, Darcy’s Botanicals Pumpkin Seed Moisturizing Conditioner. I’m tired of buying products that are not making my hair more manageable. I need your expertise.
Dear JoAnne:
The Kinky-Curly combination is a good one, but it can be a very tricky process to get them to perform well.
The Kinky-Curly Curling Custard is the tricky product in the combo. It does not work well if you use it with any other products. The Kinky-Curly Curling Custard only works well with the Kinky-Curly Knot Today.
The Kinky-Curly Knot Today is one of the greatest leave-in conditioners out there and it can be used under any styling product.
Kinky-Curly combination tips:
- Apply the Kinky-Curly Knot Today on very wet hair (if it is not wet enough, your hair will dry sticky”>.
- Apply Kinky-Curly Curling Custard evenly in sections to very wet hair (if it is not applied evenly, you will get frizz”>.
- Smooth the Kinky-Curly Curling Custard into each section from roots to ends.
- If sections start to dry out, spray water into hair and then add more Kinky-Curly Curling Custard.
- Thicker, tighter curls need more product and loose wavy curls use less. Use more product for very controlled curls and use less product if you want more fullness and body.
- Allow hair to air dry, do not touch hair while it is drying or it will start to frizz.
- When dry gently scrunch out the crunch.
The Elucence Moisture Benefit Shampoo and Moisture Balancing Conditioner are both really nice and you can’t beat the price. There are a few other shampoos and conditioners you might look at that are also very moisturizing.
