Products that enhance waves and curls?

[bizimom]

Hi there! I just got my hair layered, and cut out most of the hair that I chemically straightened (I like the straight look, but it got to be to much work in the morning). Anyway, can anyone recommed a product that enhances curls and waves? I know that there are alot out there, but which one works the best? Thanks, Leslie. :smiletongue:

hey leslie, have you tried john frieda products? dream curls, secret weapon and silicone gel are the products i use most to keep my curls looking good!

I am also looking for a product that will defrizz my curls and kind of weigh them down so they don't stick to my head (they are really tight and sprially), but something that won't make them crunchy. Keep 'em soft and supple, any recs?

CurlySexyHair Curl Enhancer...it works so freaking awesome!

 

[NYAngel98]

Ditto!!! I love Curl Power... it's great! Also, if you like balms, try Alagio's Crazy Curls Balm, or AG Hair Cosmetics re:coil curl Enhancer /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks girls! I saw "curl friends" in the supermarket. It is an upscale product selling for $17.00!! I'll look for those products you suggested. Is it worth buying upscale hair products? Or, does the cheaper stuff work just as well? :wassatt: Leslie.

I have naturally curly and these are the products that helped me whole lot..

1. TIGI Catwalk: Curl's Rock

2. Matrix: Curl Life

3. Redken: Fresh Curl

Redken also has a really nice shine serum i forgot what line it in though another things is all these shampoos and products smell really good. The Curl's Rock Curl Amplifier is really good it doesn't leave your curls all stiff

hummmm..that's a good one. I have naturally curly hair and John Freida's ( sp?:icon_study: lol!) frizz ease line is awesome! I have several fav's so I'll list a few....

Secrect weapon is good for a finishing conditioning, no frizz look. Also they have a spray called "dream curls" it is magic! Turns frizzled curls to silk! It's so nice! It does have a tendancy to dry my hair...kind of strange. But I still love it! I just use extra conditioner.

Best of luck and keep us posted!

I had a question too....I went to a web link ( www.naturallycurly.com ) and it said that silicone in curly hair is a no-no. But John Frieda uses it in his stuff and my hair is thrilled! Soooo what's the truth? Is it good...I mean how can silicone be bad for hair that's needing some extra moisture and control? Anyone know:wassatt: ? or did I read something that was crap:eusa_wall: ? lol! Thanks for the cool thread!

Luv A confused curly girl:icon_scratch: !

Anyah, I believe I read on this site a few weeks ago that silicon dries out your hair. Who knew? Any way, I did some research about curling products and read other peoples reviews on another site. And what I found was "got 2b curled-up" was highly recommended. So, I went to the store and picked it up. I'll use it tomarrow and let you know if it is any good. It cost about $5.00. If I don't like the way this stuff turns out I'll try the Curl Friends Spray. But at $17.00 I'll wait for the next credit card cycle!!:scream3:

Silicones do tend to dry out hair over time... they only coat your hair, so that's why you'll see instant control and less frizz. It also tends to 'smother' hair, and they are sometimes hard to remove once they start building up. Got2Be isn't bad... it was a little too thick for my hair, but it does help with frizz.

I find that cheap extra strong moose scrunched into wet hair works well (I use superdrug) infact I find it better than the expensive ones I've used ! when its dry it doesnt dry hard but nice and soft if you scrunch every so often as it dries. Sometimes to give my curls a boost I use frizz ease dream curls curl perfecter to get rid of any frizz !

 

[bizimom]

Hi girls! I used the "got to be curly". It gave my curls definition, but it did leave my hair feeling a little tacky. I want my curls to have definition, and yet be soft. So I wouldn't buy this product again:eusa_snooty: . Back to the drawing board:icon_scratch: . I'm going to read through this thread again, and see if I can pick up something else that works better later on this afternoon. I'll keep you posted. Leslie.

cool thread because i was curious, too. thanks!

Try The Curl's Rock Curl Amplifier. You don't need a whole bunch just a bead of it works for my hair and i have long hair and a lot of it. It will only make your hair stiff if you put to much in it. But my curls are soft and not frizzy.

 

[dentaldee]

I like KMS curl up spray

 

[cardboardboxed]

will these work on straight hair?

 

[NYAngel98]

You can use them on straight hair, but it will usually just give you that tousled wavy look --- it really won't 'create' curls.

Great thread, my hair is outta control. Flat on top and fuzzy at the ends. I think I might get the curl's rock, I've been looking for something new, the gel I am using now leaves my hair crunchy, yuck:icon_sad:
