For me, I love kinky curly knot today. I don’t need a lot and it gives me just enough moisture. If it had protein I think it would be perfect.
My favorite gel is Ouidad climate control (white bottle). It is a heat protectant as well and I feel like I don’t need a whole lot of it. I’m currently experimenting with mousse/foams but it’s hard to beat this gel.
I am really liking the Mop Top shampoos, most low-poos feel like they don’t clean enough but these do.
Btw I have long, fine, low density hair that is mostly 3a/3b and is more on the high porosity side.
Also I snagged a dyson supersonic second-hand and it is so much better than my previous dryer I used with the deva diffuser. It feels kinda hot but it doesn’t do heat damage (that I’ve noticed at least).
I really like the Cantu products. The Kids curling creme is my go too for frizz control. I like it because it’s not to heavy, smells lovely, and it holds up with re-wetting my hair between washes.
Ouidad Climate Control red bottle for me. The white bottle one doesn’t seem to have any hold in my hair unless using a ridiculous amount and only rake & shake (like the Ouidad stylists do). Red one I can scrunch in.
Innersense Hydrating Cream Conditioner is the best I have encountered in 35 years of wearing my hair curly.
AG Recoil but they finally priced me out, I try to only buy things that come in liter bottles now.
