Curly hair? Need product rec.

I have the type of hair that has a natural curl to it so when I decide to wear it curly I need a good product to keep it that way. I have been using Bumble & Bumble Curl Creme but I can't justify the hefty price tag... any good product rec.'s that are affordable? TIA!

Re: Curly hair? Need product rec.

  • My mom has hair kind of like you describe. She's tried a lot of expensive stuff and actually landed on Pantene's curl spray. She says that it creates/defines the curls but keeps them soft instead of crunchy.

  • I have the same type of hair.   I use Treseme curl conditioner followed by a treseme gel.   Since it's hard to control I have Garnier (sp?  The green stuff) spray gel close by.   I could easily get by with just the curl conditioner and gel (either regular or spray). 
  • Here's my routine:

    Wash and condition with Giovannie 50/50 (at Target)

    After shower, remove excess water from hair by using a microfiber towel, old t-shirt, or paper towl. Turn head upside down and comb out knots, apply a squirt or two of Aveda's Be Curly Curly Contol and scrunch, Apply a liberal amounbt of Aveda Be Culry Curl Enhanccer and scrunch, then llibearally spray with Aveda Firmata Hairspray. Dry hair with a diffuse while your head is upside down.  When mostly dry, turn head over and apply a little more curl contol and lock style in with Firmata. Go out the door with your bouncy curls!
