What are the products and routines that you gals use to encourage good hair days. I am desperate. My hair and I have been so misbehavin' and I am trying to recover "our" sanity (from 'cones and bad proteins that is.) Please help.

I wish I could help but I'm trying to figure this out again also. I thought I had products and routine figured out then my hair freaked out. Everytime I find my favorite products and routines, the weather changes and I feel like I'm starting all over again.

Have you seen the hair bio thread on the 2 board? Maybe you can find someone there with similar hair & climate who can help you better.

You can't really get product suggestions based off of curl type. Your hair's porosity and texture are much more important. This is a really good read, and she discusses porosity/texture towards the bottom. http://livecurlylivefree.com/curly%20hair%20basics.htm HTH
