Wurly and Curly thread!!!

[GlassEyes]

I dunno. In any case, I won't be ordering it now. XD Not worth the risk. My hair -hates- protein unless it's begging for it.

I have KT, and it's all-right. I think I prefer my KBB Hair Milk, but it's a nice leave-in. I've used it as a rinseout...twice, maybe, and that was okay too. Not great though. XD;

I think I'm going to go with Aubrey. I'll get a bottle of White Camellia while I'm at it. I've heard good things about it from others too, and it's worth looking into. I've only tried Honeysuckle Rose.

I absolutely adore the White Camellia. It's so moisturizing but doesn't weight my hair down at all. I use HR too, but it's hit or miss - depending on my leave-in it often makes my hair stringy. Better for deep treatments.

I'm still experimenting. This week, my hair is doing best with a heavy conditioner (Biolage -- I think it's the conditioning balm, parabens but no cones, used as a leave-in), followed by CurlKeeper.

But JKRB, there is a problem with letting my natural curl pattern free! I have bizarre whorls and crowns, which look like bald streak and spots. So after shaking and scrunching, I also bobby pin to try to force the hair to go down, no up, across my crown. Fun, isn't it!

I use Biolage a lot as a leave-in, almost every wash actually. I think CK is the only curl product I have NOT tried and there you go making me

I've used it too, and I really like it. It's worth the money. I'm debating buying some in the bigger size.

I'm fairly certain the ingredients are similar to KY though.

thanks, i already clarified before i started. i may clarify one more time since i don't think i did again after i wore my hair with a lot of hairspray. I'm also going to go ahead and try a new gel. Pretty much my gel should have no cones, no alcohol, be clear and maybe try polymers right?

Not necessarily. No cones, yes, but some alcohols aren't bad. Ceteryl alcohol should be fine, but alcohol denat. is something you should avoid. Clear doesn't really matter as long as you're not using aloe, but most gels are at least translucent.

Also, yes, clarifying after hairspray use is a good idea. Even without cones, it bones hair follicles together and makes a mess. XD

KY? What is that? I am drawing a blank

XDDD; Erm, well. It's a "personal lubricant" that gained popularity on NaturallyCurly as a sort of "underwear" for curls under a bunch of product. It's used similarly to how Curl Keeper can be used--either alone, or with product on top, though I use it over it.

Now you guys have made me interested in Biolage. Which particular one do you use?
