Curly Hair

Started by Ariel 3/18/2011 2:44:36 AM

Are there any good, green products that work well for curly hair? If not, does anyone have a good recipe for something I can make myself? My curly hair is so delicate, it dries out and gets flat so easily with a lot of those commercial brands.

I have been using qhemet products and think they are the best green hair care products for curly hair.

I love Kinky-Curly products a lot. www.kinky-curly.com

I would really recommend reading Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey, your hair will thanks you. She's go some great recipes. Mousee is not really on her recommended list. I use aloe vera gel for hold, it works great with no crunch.

I second what Anna said.  I love the Curly Girls book!  I no longer wash my hair with shampoo or brush it.  Instead I cleanse it with conditioner, rinse, then re-add conditioner and finger comb it through, leaving it in.  I also use aloe vera gel for hold. I like Jason's Natural Aloe Vera 98%.Moisturizing Gel that comes in an 8 oz. bottle with a pump.  I've been using the "Yes to Carrots" conditioner.

I have recently started added coconut oil to my hair in the shower, and wow has it ever worked awesome! Great curl, really light and a natural way to add some frizz fighting moisture!


I personally love to make my own products for my curly hair. You can start with making flaxseed gel for curl definition and jojoba or camellia oil for lightweight conditioning.  I have thick curly hair so I make hair butters with aloe vera, shea butter, mango butter, camellia oil, and hemp oil.  I'm still playing around with the recipe but so far so good.  


I finally read the Curly Girl Handbook this year and love what conditioner washing has done for my hair.  I still make my own leave-in conditioning gel.  I also stopped using a comb and only finger detangle my hair.
