Thank you all for helping me to find the right products, routine, etc. I am happy to report I am doing much better, my hair looks and feels much better, I am not losing my hair (or tearing it out). Special thanks to Bigred, for your patience; to Corrina; and to whoever suggested Cure Care. What a great find! works great. Much easier for me to determine how much or little to leave in than some other products.
I also want to recomment Giovanni's Smooth as Silk Deep Moisture conditioner - I used that yesterday, and my curls were bouncing! I have used it before, but left more in. I am still ISO the perfect mousse... I like the Aussie Aussome, but feel there is room for improvement. Of course there always is, isnt there, that is what keeps us "hooked"!

Yay, Myrna!

Well, I may have spoken a bit too soon; today was a tight curl, frizzy day

I guess I needed to leave in more conditioner..or something...any thoughts, curlfriends?
