you may want to try
kinky curly curling custard. my daughter has loose curls, i think shes a 3A. im a 3C. thats one product that we can both use. i never get crunch when i use it on her hair and i just tried it for the millionth time on my hair last night and i didnt have crunch either. in the past when i did use too much though, i could easily scrunch the crunch out though.
when i dont use
KCCC on her, i use
curl keeper. it doesnt have any hold but it makes her hair very shiny and frizz free. i like
curl keeper on my hair too, but i use it underneath a gel.
