Good Product Ingredients for Curliecues

When it comes to shampoos and conditioners, the more natural the ingredients, the better they are for your hair.  Again, you don't have to spend a lot of money on expensive products.  There are a lot of reasonable options out there or you can cook up your own concoction at home.  The important thing to keep in mind is that naturally curly hair craves moisture. Replenishing your hair's natural oils and moisture should be the number one goal of your shampoo and/or conditioner.   Here is a list of ingredients that you should look for in your curliecue hair products.

What's Good:

1.  Water should be the first ingredient.

2.  Panthenol and Glycerin-They help to bind water to your hair, therefore locking in moisture.

3. Olive, Honey, Tea Tree, Rosemary, Jojoba or Almond Oils.

4.  Shea butter and coconut are excellent for intense, deep conditioning.

5.  Peppermint, lavender and castor oils are also great for stimulating hair growth.

6.  Protein is good for strengthening and restructuring your hair.  But be careful, with this one.  Too much protein can be drying, causing damage and breakage to your hair.

What works for you, may not work for another curliecue.  Knowing your own specific hair type  is essential to finding the specific ingredients that will help you achieve your own hair goals.
