I remember my hair loving CK years ago, pretty consistantly, and it gave me good hold - a bit of crunch that scrunched out easily, which is how I like it. Since my hair is less curly than it used to be, I'm looking for a curl enhancer & definer to use with it and am considering AG Re:Coil, Spiral Solutions, Curl Enhancing jelly, Rocking Ringlets or Gelebration, and possibly others if there's something else people like. Does CK mix well with any of those? I don't want the dreaded white flakes or anything.

I've had good luck using Curl Keeper with Re:coil.

I've also had great luck with CK/Re:Coil combo. I also pair it with TIGI Curls Rock Amplifier (contains cyclo-cones which are technically not CG but are supposed to evaporate off of the hair during the drying process and therefore not build up according to a Curl Chemist article here).

I have also used CK and re:coil together successfully. Haven't tried any of the other combos you mentioned, but it wasn't so great with CCCCL at least for summer.

I apply re:coil, then CK, and get what a friend of mine calls my "magic hair."
