So, I finally airdried my hair with curls and . . .

[Glib Gurl]

I hated it.

I dc'd with silicon mix (smelled heavenly!) and then shampoo'd with Therapee and conditioned with Humectress. I did my normal leave-in followed by moisturizers . . . then I used Garnier Fructis Hard Curl Gel. I should've taken the tip from the name Hard Curl Gel, but I just wasn't expecting my hair to come out so crunchy. I couldn't put my fingers through it . . . everytime I tried I could hear/feel the breakage. Plus, I didn't like the way it looked. The bottom of my hair was nice and curly but the top of my head just loooked sticky. Definitely will not be trying this again . . . or at least not with this product. (I don't know if there's a product that will give curls without the crunch factor.) In the meantime, if anyone wants a barely used tube of Garnier Fructis Hard Curl Gel, just pm a sistah.

You can see how it looked here. (Yes, I finally have a fotki -- pw is in my profile)

Sorry it came out crunchy but the curls looks cute in the pic. Once you find the right product you are going to have a really nice wash n go.

I hate the crunch too.

I've never used the hard curl gel before. I've used the GF Soft Curl Cream successfully in the past.

My newest wash n go product which I love is John Frieda Frizz-Ease Dream Curls. You should try it.

ETA: Just looked at the album and the curls are really cute! Sorry it came out crunchy though.

Have you tried the fantasia gel Glib? It doesn't make my hair hard unless i use too much.

I know you are not digging the cruchy hair. Your hair is coming along nice. The curls do look cute. I only use Elasta Qp glaze to lay down my edges.

I thought lacio lacio was just for conditioning . . . it curls hair, too?

I think your hair looks nice!! I don't have any advice about the crunchy curls though. *sorry*

Glib your hair looks nice, sorry about the hardness. Even tho I have tons of hair products I never use gel. Even aloe vera gel made my hair hard. Try using a creamy leave in instead to airdry with. You could also do a braidout and set the ends on self holding rollers for nice curls and waves.
