Tried and True
It's hard to venture out to try something new on your curly hair. Especially if your old routine is currently working . I went to visit one of my stylists (I have several) yesterday who recommended I try something new. It's by MoroccanOil and its called Intense Curl Creme. I was hesitant at first because my Miss Jessie's is working just fine, thank you. :) I use MJ Rapid Recovery Treatment as a deep conditioner once a week. It really helps to keep the moisture in my hair. Also, it acts like a curl creme for my hair because it keeps my curls full and plump between washes. But, because I trust my stylist I decided to give it a try this morning. I am very happy with the results...but to be quite honest, the results really don't look that much different. But the one thing that was different was the price. The MO was very expensive (more than $30). So... not sure if I will buy it again. Has anyone else use the MO Intense Curl Creme? If so, I'd love to hear what you think.

First of all, I love your curls. I'm a curliecue myself. I've been natural now for about 5 years now. I never knew I had curlie hair until I made the change and I love it. But because my hair is SO thick, I usually don't comb through my hair when I wear it out and have to wash it each day (so it is more manageable). But after a while I have to press it out, just so I can comb through my hair. Do you have the same problem? Do you have any suggestions for products that I can use?
ReplyDeleteHello Andrea,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment! Yes, I used to have the same problem. But what has worked for me is to comb my hair out in the shower. I wash my hair every three days...anything over that it takes forever for me to detangle my hair! Here' s what you should do: Get a moisture rich conditioner (I use Triple Moisture by Neutrogena). It doesn't have to be a terribly expensive brand because your gonna be just using it to comb through your hair. Stand right underneath the shower head and saturate a section of your hair with conditioner. Then as the water runs through your hair, comb through it...starting from the bottom and working your way upward. Make sure you use a wide tooth comb! The conditioner should make your hair slippery so you should be able to comb through it with relative ease. Do this for each section of your hair...I usually separate my hair into four sections. At the end...you shoud be able to run the comb right through your hair. The catch is to make sure your hair is has a good amount of conditioner and water running through it. After that I use a deep conditoner...that's a little more expensive. I live Miss Jessie's Restorative Treatment. Phytospecific has a good hair maque for curly hair too. Both are nice and rich and helps to restore your curl at the same time. I sit under the dryer for about 15 minutes...although I only do the deep conditioning treatment about once a week. That should keep you from having to press your hair, just so you can comb through it. Hope that helps! Let me know how that works out!
