In reply to Shakti. Love to see what other curly girls are trying on their hair!! Walmart has an affordable hair line called Ren Pure Originals. I just tried the Argan oil conditioner because it is free of parabans, etc. I am spending a fortune on salon products for my hair.--ugh!!! I like the Argan Oil conditioner just as well as the salon stuff that was 3 times more expensive. I'm going to try the shampoo as well.

In reply to Linda. Huh.... I bet grey has a different texture. I'd find a hair stylist that has curls. :)

I have had curly hair from birth and always hated the curl! I would roll my hair on coke cans hoping to straighten it. And always envied all the girls at school that had long straight hair like Cher! About 20 years ago I accidently found that I liked the curls! One day just as I was getting out of the shower my phone was ringing. So I put on a robe and answered it. My friend who loved to talk and talk was on the other end. About an hour later I went to the bathroom and discovered CURLS that really looked good and were in style. So since then I have worn my hair curly. Until recently. My hair has become gray(I always kept color on it) and very dry. It frizze more than curls. I have been trying a number of conditioners, even left conditioner in and using my wide tooth comb to get tangles out. It hurts to see all the frizze and very little curl! Help!! What do I need to do?

This post is awesome! I’ve always been told by hairstylists and friends that I need to invest in all sulfate/silicone/paraben free things that are quite pricey, my budget for hair products alone was $100+ (and most of those products ran out fairly quickly because the sizes weren’t that much). I was also given a huge list of rules to follow, which I ended up stopping because really who’s got time for that! Now I kind of just do what my hair likes instead. I’ve been trying to find cheaper alternatives to the rather pricey products. Would you have any suggestions?

In reply to Linda. Something to consider for anyone reading this is that there is currently a class-action lawsuit against Wen due to it making hair fall out AND NOT GROW BACK! I have personally used it and didn't notice this, but I won't personally use it again for obvious reasons. If you do choose to use it, disregard the directions because if you followed then they'd have you using an ounce plus each time you wash your hair. If you wash your own hair you know when it is coated pretty well. Luck!

In reply to Kris.

Oh… huh, skin so soft. Interesting. Is it a conditioner? My hair is SUPER fine, the V05 just weighs it down… 🙁

I have coarse curly/wavy hair. I wash with shampoo a max of one time per week; use Biolage conditioner any time I am in the shower. At one time bath and body had an argan oil I used any time I got my hair wet but they quit selling that. Now I use Avon’s Skin So Soft (10-11 sprays) on my wet hair right out of the shower. Works great. If I use a hair color that dries my hair out I use VO5 leave-in conditioner… The same stuff my grandmother used!! LOL. But it gives great shimmer, shine and moisture! I’d highly recommend it if you have coarse hair.
