Lots of experimentation!
This is true! No two heads of curls (even if they look very similar) are alike. Also, something could work great in the summer, but not so much in the winter. The best thing to do is to experiment until you find products that work specifically for your hair.
Normally, I use Tresemme Naturals on drippy wet hair along with Biotera Gel, then seal it with a little jojoba oil but that doesn't seem to be enough in the winter. (I just don't get those bouncy 2nd/3rd day curls with it.) My local Walgreens just recently started carrying the Shea Moisture line and now I found that my hair loves the Curl Enhancing Smoothie. (Otherwise, I just use my own whipped shea butter mix. It includes aloe vera gel, honey, jojoba, almond and vitamin E oils. Great for my dry hands, too!)
I also make a spray mix with water, aloe vera gel and jojoba oil (and/or whatever light oil strikes my fancy that day... olive, avocado, grapeseed...). I use that for 2nd/3rd day hair and it seems to help combat the dryness.
