Can't we petition brands to stop making such strong cloying fragrances in products? I mean a mild fragrance is fine but so strong that it triggers allergies is wrong! I'd like to see you do a one brand wash day with the NEW Innersense Clarity line which is fragrance free and their new I create definition foam (it's a strong hold foam! Very promising...)

I find that my hair hates Innersense. There is not a lot of slip and I end up with a matted mess after shampoo and conditioner. And their stylers (including the new foam) just don’t have enough hold to prevent frizz in my hair. I’m trying to use up my last Innersense product now because they are too expensive to throw away and I can’t wait to be done.

So funny because I just left a review for Courtney on the Quench & Curl, LOL. The fragrance is very, very light so hopefully she won't have a bad reaction to it if she tries it!. I got the "leave-in but it's way too heavy for my low porosity, fine hair. Didn't see the gel serum because it's a different line. Maybe she'll give it a go and I can find out if I should try it. I'm 2c/more 3a...someone had it as a "spiral", so not sure if wavy would work as well for me.

I was able to get the cream and jelly and mousse. I wasn’t crazy about the mousse but the jelly and styling cream. The jelly is my favorite and is a great product. I’m beginning to like custards and jellies to mix with my protein gels. My hair needs protein.

If you want to try a mild and subtle fragrance product, Rhyme & Reason has a shampoo/conditioner/leave-in conditioner called "Quench & Curl". There's no gel or curl enhancer but as someone who is still looking for a great moisturizing S&C (absolutely no aloe and prefer no coconut), it's not a bad choice at all. (I used Uncle Funky for the curl.) I also just tried the SheaMoisture Leave-In Detangler for Low-Porosity hair and it worked really well, which I've not been able to do with - really - any other, and I've tried many!

The brand vanicream Is fragrance free. My daughter, who has severe eczema uses it to avoid inflaming her face. I know they have a shampoo conditioner and gel. I think they also have a dandruff shampoo. I don't know if they have any curl specific products but it would be very interesting to see what would happen with your hair if you just used a regular old gel that wasn't designed for curl. I think people who have skin sensitivities would like to know if this could work for them.

Do you shampoo your lengths during every wash day? I only discovered mid last year that my hair is super wavy. I went years avoiding shampooing the lengths of my hair despite using oils in them an other leave-ins and it always looked beautiful despite sometimes being a bit fluffy (didn't flat iron it either). I washed my ends today and it seemed my hair tolerated it. I have to wash my hair every other day due to a sport I train for. Not a fan of dry shampoo.

To neutralize the fragrance, would misting your hair with apple cider vinegar be effective? I use it to get rid of residual scents of home hair coloring. My curls are 3c/4a and soak up moisture/ humidity like a sponge 😮. Suggestion: Cantu line. It's available at Walmart, very price friendly (surprised me). I've quite taken to their leave-in cream and voluming styling foam . Great video: I often fail to use products in the proper order. After washing/ deep condish/ styling yesterday, today I've got see-through curls. I used leave-in, gel and a bit of VERB mouse. I apply using finger-combing and praying hands methods. I use the diffuser on my dryer (and a heat-shield lotion). What am I doing wrong? Please? Any suggestions may try (or un-try😂). I think b it's me, not the products. Thank you ~ your hair looks so lovely and bouncy/ weightless! Have an enjoyable day
@columbia2635

I've used Cantu's curl cream with some success but it's pretty thick and I have fine, low porosity hair. BTW, products that work well for some people, may not work well on your hair. I'm in tears half the time because I apparently have really weird hair and have a hard time finding stuff that works. Like my hair hates aloe. I know this because as I'm apply an aloe product, I can feel my hair change texture into straw. So now I avoid it. I also can't do much protein. If you mean stringy curls, maybe you need a more moisturizing routine. I honestly rarely use gel because it doesn't work that well for me. If I use mousse, I usually apply it to my roots before the curl cream. Maybe try rewatching one of Courtney's videos on styling with a brush because finger combing may well be breaking up your clumps too much, especially if you have drier hair or problems with aloe, etc. :)

@SwavyCurlyCourtney
5 ай бұрын
I'm so glad that you appreciate all the affordable options that I test out! If you can get 3 uses out of the Hask deep conditioner for $1.99, that makes each use $0.66. I know it's really frustrating to have to purchase a separate product, but deep conditioners and regular conditioners are formulated differently enough that I really think there is a benefit to having both in your curly hair care cabinet. That being said you could apply your regular conditioner to your hair, put on a plastic shower cap, throw your Terry cloth towel in the dryer and heat it up for a while, put on your terry cloth towel on top of the plastic shower cap that's covering the regular conditioner in your hair and leave it on for 30 minutes. Basically you're doing a deep conditioning session with your regular conditioner which will help it penetrate deeper into your hair. I hope this makes sense!
@antisocialist2244
