Not a 3c/4a (more of a 2c/3a) but I had a couple of thoughts:

Have you tried layering the AsIAm gel with a leave-in and oil, a la the LOC method? You might get more hold and moisture that way. |

Thanks for the feedback beyond.omega! I do worry that the Giovanni might be drying over time. Was thinking that I could use the Giovanni one week and SheaMoisture the next? Right now, I use SheaMoisture Maduka Honey something something shampoo, as well as their leave in and hair mask. Love the smell and it seems to give more moisture. However, my hair just felt much lighter and softer after using the Giovanni. It was weird. I don't use much product, but maybe I had product build up because the SheaMoisture wasn't getting rid of it all? Or maybe I was going too long between shampoos? So hard to tell.
I have used Kinky Curly Control Custard before, and it dried my hair out terribly. I have a low glycerin tolerance. However, that could be because I lived in GA, and used it during the most humid months. I haven't used Curl Junkie in years! I used to looooovvve their banana deep treat conditioner. Maybe I'll revisit their site? I just hated buying stuff online, and they were pricey for my hair length. I'm past bra strap, with my hair straightened, and thick too. Oh, and I do layer the AsIAm gel with a leave-in and oil. Not enough hold, plus I think it may be too much product for me. You've given me a lot to think about, thanks! Off to revisit Curl Junkie. ETA: This stuff right here tho! This was my first love: Hibiscus and Banana Deep Fix Moisturizing Conditioner. Hmmm...I believe it cost this much ten years ago too

Since you do the LOC thing, I was going to second my recommendation for the Alaffia Beautiful Curls products. I think they have a shampoo, leave-in, oil and gel/cream each for wavies and for curlies. The Whole Foods's around Portland still carry these so you could return them for a full refund if you could find them in your Whole Foods's. But I'm not sure its what you want to go for. But it looks like you got a lot of good ideas here. |
