I am looking to order 2 products fr...Hello Marsha,<br /><br />I am looking to order 2 products from your line. <br /><br />I have naturally thin 2B wavy hair and live in a place with a consistent 60 dewpoint, but the worst part is it is windy 90% of the time. I think my porosity is high, takes color/moisture immediately and the looses it right away. My hair turns green from chlorine pools after 2 swims. I wash my hair daily as I have 4 kids and prefer to keep the germs at bay.<br /><br />I was thinking of purchasing curls in a bottle, and repair me. But now, after ready many of your blogs, I am thinking of either of the 2 Coffee coco curl (regular or lite) since they are all in ones. I need a curl reactivator to assist my waves into curls. I can't use anything that gives stiffness, when I scrunch the crunch, my hair gets extremely frizzy everywhere, but mostly on top. If I leave the crunch, my hair gets knotted into one dread, but the end of the day. <br /><br />The only product that I have ever been able to use is Fx Curls Up Reactivator & Defrizzant. This was amazing on my hair and the only product I needed to produce extreme curl and softness. It was conditioning and produced spiral curls in my hair. I had curls that I could run my fingers through all day. The ingredients were...Propylene glycol, aqua (water), cyclomethicone, dimethiconol, polyacrylamide, C13-14 isoparaffin, laureth-7, anthemis nobilis (chamomile extract), parfum, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), panthenol, quaternium 15, methylparaben. I know a lot of these are bad, but they worked perfectly and I haven't found anything since that has been anywhere near as effective.<br /><br />I wash with humectress shampoo and conditioner now. I don't rinse out all of the conditioner, and then I add Lush R&B Hair moisturizer to the ends sparingly. I then plop my hair and (seldomly diffuse...causes extreme frizz). <br /><br />My curls look ok for about an hour, then they frizz out and my ends are extremely dry by the end of the day.<br /><br />Please advise me as to what I can use to help lock in moisture, define/enhance the curls, and keep the frizz down throughout the day. I am sorry for the long winded post, but really interested in your expertise. Your knowledge is amazing.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />~NicoleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01509492443645337586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903349155652111363.post-1684514331349352842011-05-31T15:04:45.425-07:002011-05-31T15:04:45.425-07:00Hi!

I would also suggest checking out using the Curl Rehab as a Leave-in as well and maybe topping with just CIAB!Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697751673609787630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903349155652111363.post-39003168147971581392011-05-31T14:37:54.023-07:002011-05-31T14:37:54.023-07:00I have tightly coiled, low - normal porosity hair ...I have tightly coiled, low - normal porosity hair and have been using the combo below for my twist outs/roller sets:<br />CA Smoothing Lotion + Coffee-Coco Creme + CIAB (tiny bit)<br /><br />With the increasing humidity in Chicago, which of the revised combos below would you recco (or do you have other recco's):<br />BeautiCurls Leave-in Conditioner + Curl Queen + CIAB<br />--OR--<br />BeautiCurls Leave-in Conditioner + Aloe Fix Gel + CIAB<br /><br />Love your products!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12683161438743587672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903349155652111363.post-77958863719805060142011-05-27T07:19:21.663-07:002011-05-27T07:19:21.663-07:00I have thin 3a/b curls, I have been using henna af...I have thin 3a/b curls, I have been using henna after I cut all damages from chemical dye. I use Daily Fix (one a month Gentle Shampoo), Strengthening Conditioner and Aloe Fix for some time now and since I set that combo every day I have the same beautiful results! Once a week I use Fix Curl as deep treatment which helps to save my curls as henna can sometimes loosens curl pattern but Curl Fix counteracts it. I am a big fan of Curl Junkie and glad I can buy it even though I live in Ireland. :)Aleksandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07821023895217779104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903349155652111363.post-63975301739039271512011-04-20T05:55:08.779-07:002011-04-20T05:55:08.779-07:00Hi!

Then follow with a conditioner to use for the CG /no-poo method. Also be sure to do a weekly Deep Treatment (in your case you could try out the Beauticurls Strengthening conditioner) to keep your hair strong!Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697751673609787630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903349155652111363.post-16318976356172143232011-01-18T05:07:38.103-08:002011-01-18T05:07:38.103-08:00Just got your sample sets and having so much fun p...Just got your sample sets and having so much fun playing around with them...my hairs been soft but defined like it never is!<br />I have a question- I have superfine, thin 3a hair. Id like to try the no-poo method but I have really bad scalp psoriasis and need to use medicated shampoos often. Any recommendations for how I can keep my hair from drying out without letting conditioner weigh me down?
