I was just wondering about the cg routine.

Well, I use both the Devacurl and Jessicurl products, and I know there are many others that do the same, so it's hard for me to pick one over the other. I give them both credit for making my hair so much healthier then it was pre-CG, so I'm having a hard time choosing one over the other, though I probably use the Deva No-Poo and One C more often, yet I might use Jessicurl RR/CCSS more then Angell?

I like Jessicurl because of the variety of products offered. You can try different combos, different orders of application. Honestly, my hair is much healthier using these products than before I started CG.

Love both Devacurl and Jessicurl. No-poo is so easy to use, a CG basic! Too shea is Great, the DT, really so many! The drug/healthstore route is trickier. I would have said I recommend Avalon also, but apparently all of the formulas are changing (?) The Mint Thyme condish was great, as were Lemon, Ylang Ylang, Lavender; what a shame!
Even sounds like the One Condish was having Quality Control issues.
At least we can always count on Jess!

I have have not tried Devacurl, but I LOVE jessicurl! Every once in a while I try something else and my hair protests, I could consistently good curls with her products!

I use devacurl & a variety of other products. I can't seem to stick to one thing, except for my gel. (LA Looks Mega Mega gel).

I use Devacurl - No Poo, One Condition and Angell. I occasionally CO with Nature's Gate Tea Tree Oil Conditioner.

A few days ago I tried Jessicurl DT for the first time and loved it.

I use Suave, Jessicurl, and I just got Devacurl, so add that to my list, too!

I would love to try Jessicurl's Too Shea and Aloeba and DevaCurl, but my budget is limited at the moment. I may splurge on the DevaCurl One if I make it out to the suburb around here that has a salon that carries it, but I really hate to pay shipping fees on top of paying a bit more for my hair products.

So, for now I am happy with Trader Joes' Refresh conditioner to wash and Giovanni 50/50 or Trader Joes' Nourish conditioner mixed with honey for my conditioner. I either use humectress of Giovanni Direct as a leave in and Suave firm control for my gel. Sometimes I will also use aloe gel under the Suave if my hair needs more moisture.

I use the Ouidad deep treatment once per month. I bought several of her sample packs when I first discovered this site, because the price of the sample pack is the same as 2 ounces of the deep treatment! I think that I am going to keep all of the deep treatments and sell the other bottles! My hair is very fine and short, so I can get about 3 deep treatments out of one 2 ounce bottle. I also just bought the Loreal deep treatment at Sally's (from recs here, of course!) to use as a moisutrizing treatment.

My hair is in much better condition now that I have been following the CG routine.
