It took me forever to find a product that works, but I love A/G: Recoil. Works wonders. I’m more toward the 2B end, though, maybe the person who wrote in is straight to 2A? I can use products with a bit of silicone – like Noodlehead, in small amounts.

DLC I completely agree, a non-biased hair expert who is not attached to any hair care company would be great.

I think this article was written by someone who wants to sell these products

Tressemme Naturals has a line with no silicones (I use the conditioner mixed with with aloe vera juice as a leave in). Burt’s Bees and Giovanni’s does not have cones. Sold at Target.

I’d like to suggest Wonder Curl’s Get Set Hair Jelly and/or Get Slick Hair Smoothie. The Get Set Hair Jelly has no oils or silicons to weigh your hair down and will tame those frizzies. Get Slick Hair Smoothie has oils in it, in case you need extra moisture. Check it out at wondercurl.com

Additionally, I was really interested in the answer to this question because it could have been written by me. I’ve tried leave in conditioners, and though they help with frizz to a certain extent, they lack any hold and my waves just don’t form or hold. I end up with a few half-hearted attempts at waves while the majority of my hair falls straight and flat. I find myself disappointed that in an article titled “Silicone products are killing my waves” the recommendations given both have silicones….

Lovely, both product recommendations contain silicones. This is why we wavies have a hard time finding products. Anyone have any counter-recommendations that actually don’t have silicone??
