Default Rene Furterer Acanthe Perfect Curls Curl Enhancing Leave-In Fluid

This styler is different from all the others I've tried. It doesn't seem sticky at all. Very lightweight. I need to try something on top for 2nd day, but for the first day I gave it 5 curls, because my curls were soft and bouncy.

I can't tell yet how it will hold up but I hate stickyness so this is a winner for me. I doubt it is CG - I'll have to read up on that. It uses an ingredient called acanthe oil. Good hair day and lasted all day!

Thanks, Kathy. The ingredient list on the bottle is so teeny but I could easily have checked and should have done that.

I am not doing cg these days so the cone won't bother me. Also, I thought that amodimethicone was not one of the really awful cones and was wqter soluble.

Amodimethicone is not one of the difficult cones to remove, but it isn't water soluable.
