[SEMO]

Denman brush (clumps curls and helps define them--best used on wet hair) followed by

IC Fantasia sparkelite gel

OR

Cantu shea butter leave in


RED FLAG:
do NOT use cantu with IC Fantasia (it causes a weird crazy white film--but they are great used alone or with different products)

 

[LadyEuphoria007]

You are so right! I used cantu and Fantasia together and had a very sticky white residue in my hair. I will never use these two products together again.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

Yeah, I did the cantu, IC gel combo and ended up looking like Grady in Sanford and Son. I can laugh now because I didn't leave the house.

 

[Mimi22]

IC fantasia

Aveda Be curly

 

[SoCalli]

Mixed Chicks Leave-in conditioner sealed with hair oil works well for me.

 

[luzminerva]

I tried all the things listed so far and none worked but:

NOODLE HEAD!

You can buy it at Sally's Beauty supply and it comes in an orange tube.

That is what I use and it definately works.

I have heard so many great things about the denman brush. You're the fiftieth person to say great things and now I just gotta know is it something I have to order or can I get it at a BSS? Thanks alot!

When you leave your hair alone and just moisturize it and seal, it seems that you don't have to do anything else. Once you get into a routine of leaving it alone, then I think that helps alot.

That's too funny!! I made the mistake of mixing these 2 together and I looked like a furry mess!

I ordered this on yesterday. I can't wait to see the results. I am looking for something that will help combat some of my shrinkage.

Also, on a side note, I tried Ecostyler Gel with Infusion Leave-In on today, this combo really helped my curls to pop and left my hair with less shrinkage than my Fantasia Gel. I also used the rake and smooth method which also may have attributed to more elongated curls.

 

[LadyEuphoria007]

Here i am back again lol.

Catwalk curls amplifier works well for my hair (4a/b)

or

Scurl texturizer gel works great too. It dries eventually lol.

 

[MzTami]

Right On light moisturizer and activator. It's cheap too.

What made my natural curl more defined was RedKen Clear Moisture. I just tried this for the first time this past friday and OMG I LOVED IT. I will most definitely buy it again.

 

[sistawithsumthin]

Knot Today and Curling Custard all the way from Kinky Curly.

Fantasia IC close runner-up I just don't like the initial stickiness but does the same job for a cheaper price.

 

[sugaplum]

Curls Quenched Moisturizer leave-in and Curls Milkshake. The best.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

The Cantu works better alone. That will be what I will use for my WNG from now on.

 

[AwesomelyNappy]

taking notes, and posting to subscribe! will use on my dd

 

[KweenBeeDiva]

Redkins has a curl cream that really worked on my hair when it was shorter (my hair does funny things once it grows out, so most things work really good on my TWA)

The smell is a little manish, but other than ythat it was the bomb!

 

[Newtogrow]

cantu leave in (do use alone), but pop,pop,pop

 

[justNikki]

Moisturizing conditioner as a leave-in (I love Giovanni Direct leave-in) and any light styling gel should do the trick, if you don't want to use heavier gels like fantasia. Examples I use and love are Aubrey Organics Mandarin Magic Moisturizing Hair Jelly (a little pricey) and much the much cheaper Aussie Tizz No Frizz.
