hair success #2!! this is simply using a non-sulfate shampoo, nature's gate tea tree condish, Giovanni leave-in (spray) a tad bit of curl-cream!

I also used the icequeen conditioning method, did plopping for drying and did the pixiecurl diffusing method my hair has NEVER looked this healthy or happy and natural!!!!

Thanks ladies!!! - I used the only thing I still had, TIGI Curls Rock Curl Activator...I'm SURE it's not good for your hair. :-/

Eh- technically it's considered not CG because of the cyclo-cones, but according to a Curl Chemist article here, cyclocones evaporate of the hair during the drying process and cyclomethicone can be removed by co-washing, so I personally consider it pretty much CG (I use it myself because I get amazing results- my sig pic is a day I used Curls Rock Amplifier and their Strong Mousse).
