Maximum Curls

[NYAngel98]

Great info! I will have to try that Biosilk gel myself now!

But as for your question wvpumpkin - it seems to work on straight hair as well... now you might not get 'perm' results, so don't expect a total transformation... lol But it does have styling elements and ingredients that allow your hair to be molded and to retain a curl... so it will probably help you out.

If you want to try it just make sure you get the Rock Hard Gelee because there is also just a regular gel called Silk Therapy Gel (I think) and it doesn't even come close to working like the RHG.

hmmm, i have very curly hair and in order to get the non-frizzy look i find its more in technique then product. After i shower i brush my hair then just ponytail it (no more brush after this) put the slightest amount of shine serum in. By kms, flatout, weightless shine spray. And then do watever, go to bed, get ready. I find blow drying the hair at all just adds extra friz and by ponytailing it guarantees top of hair will b smooth. then wen hair is dry i jus add slightest amount of gell to ends of hair n scrunch....i did exactly this for the dare 2 be contest today. ill post the pic of it i posted in that forum. Also i only used about a tbsp of gell in this scenario, if i added more would make curls tighter.

Believe me I have tried every new product out there and every "technique" I can think of and even a bunch of techniques that curly hair specialist stylists have suggested. I have four sisters and we all have curly hair but we each have our own different routine that works for us. What works for me does absolutely nothing for them and vice versa. I think it has a lot to do with how healthy your hair is , texture of hair, level of curliness, the products you choose and your technique. And as I get older all of these variables have changed and they continue to do so. One thing I am grateful for is the fact that even though my hair is extremely curly (think Juliana Marguiles or Minnie Driver) I can blow it out so it is stick straight without any frizzies which 3 out of my four sisters cannot do.

This allows the RHG to form almost like a cast and prevents any frizzies from forming when I diffuse it dry. I have tried hundreds of different products and hundreds of different combinations of products and this one seems to work the best for humid weather. In the winter I use Herbal Essences Maximum hold mousse and then top with Splash hairspray by Focus 21 and then the headband , airdry then diffuse routine. Hope this helps. Thanks..

..Ohh..I think I actually saw that Biosilk product ur talking about (but I didn't buy it)..I went into this beauty supply store today at the mall..and bought some things..that curlysexyhair enhancer, aussie scrunch spray, garnier fructis curl shaping spray gel, Bed Head Hard Head hair spray, one of the ladies who worked there told me to get this KMS curl up shampoo..so i did, and yeah..a comb..hehe.

That would be great! I'm always on the hunt for good products.... lol (Not like the 100lb. bag I already have of them needs anymore in it) but... ya know

The CurlySexyHair stuff is good..I scrunched my hair with that. After that..I sprayed a bunch of hair spray on top. The curls just popped out.

Thank you so much for introducing me to Biosilk Hard Gelee because since day one when I bought it on Ebay for $7 and used it I completely fell in love with it!! I have naturally curly hair but I wanted something that would define my curls like in that picture and this product definately does.....now I just need advice on what to use for my roots because my curls are beautifully defined but my roots look all limp.....any advice? Thanks again

 

[NYAngel98]

BigSexyHair Root lifter &amp; blowdrying upside down... scrunching with a diffuser

Helps me out a lot...

I finally bought the Biosilk Hard Gelee... figures I haven't done curls since - lol Probably will tomorrow, since it's supposed to rain. So I'll let you know my results

And sorry wvpumpkin... I didn't see your post, but its called "Curl Power" curl enhancing spray. It's slightly foamy, but in an aerosol spray.

Does the headband not give the top front of your hair a funky shape? I'm scared to try a handband because I'm afraid it might make my hair look weird!

 

[elljmz]

Maybe you could try clips if you are really worried about it. I use a headband because it works for me. I don't get a funky shape at all. When I diffuse dry the headband comes out. I guess I wasn't clear about that part. HTH!

 

[glamadelic]

AH, I see! Maybe a headband would help me.. my font curls (which used to be my bangs) always fall in my face - or rather my eyes! LOL

I'm afraid a little skinny elastic one might leave a bend in my hair. Did you you a scrunchie maybe?

I have to disagree with some of my fellow curly-haired gals here ... I have very thick, very coarse, very curly/frizzy hair that's past my shoulders, and honestly, Shielo's Hydrate Shampoo and their Hydrate Refreshing Mist actually WORKS -- and works well -- for my hair. I love the fact that the Shielo Hydrate Refreshing Mist not only smells good, but it isn't stiff and sticky, and, does a really nice job "taming" my wild hair. I haven't been able to find it in quite some time, though, and so Im just gonna order online at their website.
