I've been a little obsessed with my hair for the last few weeks. Mostly because I can't decide if I want to chop it or keep it long. I like it long, and so does DH, but it'd be soo much easier for work if I cut it short. It's curly and the back is past my shoulders, but I have some shorter layers in the front. If you know about curly hair types it's probably a "2C" curl. Recently started using Organix Moroccan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner and Organix Kukui Oil Curl Cream. I very rarely blow dry it, usually just air dry it. It frizzes up like crazy (not as bad with the Organix), have tons of baby hairs, and I can probably make a wig with the amount that falls out every time I wash it!
So what about you ladies??

Re: N3TR - GTKY: Tell me about your hair and the products you use!
The shampoo is so gentle I can wash my hair almost every day if I wanted to without drying it out. Although I still only wash it 1-2 times a week. The gel helps my curls hold their shape, mine are like cork screws but they are still soft. I either dry my hair naturally or with a diffuser, it just take forever to dry because it's thick and prob half way down my back straight but maybe to my neck line curly.
I feel like a sales person but honestly in 40 years I've never found a product that worked as good on my curly hair.
Other than that, I am a sucker for Big Sexy Hair products....I use the blow dry volumizing gel, spray and play hair spray and back comb in a bottle.

That's what I love about the no poo. It's like washing it with conditioner. I looked up the 2b/c and my hair is actually curlier, especially underneath, prob in the 3a curl area especially after I walk outside. My top layer may be in the 2, of course I can't have a head of hair that's the same everywhere. My hair is extremely dry because it's so curly and I really shouldn't be washing it at all, just rinsing it good and conditioner on the ends. So the No poo is actually perfect for my hair. I'm also use to the no sulfate shampoo because you can't have it when you have Keratin treatments. I haven't felt suds in my hair for years.

JANUARY SIGGY CHALLENGE...This is so me!
Love this man....he was so before his time in his thoughts and ideas about the world....been obsessed about him lately bringing it back to the early 90s.
Never thought I would like long hair....
I also have long, curly/wavy/frizzy hair. I haven't found a shampoo I love yet, but thinking of giving the Deva Curl stuff you ladies use a shot. I do love the garnier fructis deep conditioning mask. Nothing gets the knots out like that. Unfortunately because of gym time I usually do have to wash my hair every day.
Is the Deva Curl like Wen products because I tried those and hated them - made my hair feel all greasy!
As for product, I actually love Carols Daughter products to control my curls, paticularly their hair balm. You used to only be able to get it at certain stores but now it's sold at Target. A little of that balm on my towel dried hair gives my curls some better definition and keep sthe frizz under control.
