Just over 3 months ago, I decided to stop mistreating my curls and go "Curly Girl". I stopped stripping my hair with sulfates and started giving my hair the moisture it deserves. I stopped using products with silicones, parabens, and glycerin. Well... glycerin isn't SO bad. It's just that my hair doesn't seem to like it. Turns out, my hair loves aloe and protein. In late October 2010, I got my hair cut by a curly specialist who creates a cut specific to my curl needs. The cut is done dry rather than wet. This special cut is called a Deva Cut. And only Devachan trained stylists can do it. It has to have been the best cut I've ever had. Here I am 3 months later and I'm just now needing another cut - and that's exactly the time-frame my stylist suggested. When I asked how long before I'd need to come in for a trim she told me 3 months. I was ecstatic because I rarely ever go back any sooner than that. It was nice to hear this directly from the stylist!
So... fast-forward to today: I've been experimenting with different curly products and have found quite a few things that seem to work well for me. So, today I experimented with my old favorite, Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Mousse. Turns out, my old favorite is CG-friendly! Yay me! LOL! The picture embedded in this post is one of my hair this morning. I like how it came out. But, I think I have some tweaking to do to help it curl better. I'm happy to be able to use my old favorite and know that I'm still taking care of my hair. :)
