Ok,so I am new here,and I need help.Firsty,I hear everyone ask whcih products are "CG friendly" and Im assuming your talking about the "Curly girl" book,which I want to get,but,i hear its reallly good.I think im going to order it.Only I heard it says not to shampoo,only use conditioner!And my hair is oily at the roots and dry at ends,a very comon probem for curly hair,and they dont even mention it!If i used only conditoner my hair would be a mess!I wash it and applay a shampo for oily hair at my roots and massage it well,then i quiqly pass it through my ends to clear buildup and rinse.Then I applay conditioner for dry hair at ends(mid lenth down) and comb iut then rinse.Then I applay leave in conditioner.And comb.Thats pretty much my rountine.I wash every other day--- But anyhow,back to my question,what is the CG ROUNTINE Ive so long heard about? ¡ :P So,plzz awnser!Also,I hear u cant use alchol or silicone...I think,and i use silicone.Is it bad?Will it damage my hair?I actually read in a magazine that things endiing in -cone are moisturizing!Anyway plzz awnser!Other tearms I haerd and i haveno idea what they mean are:"Ploping" and pineapple",plzz explain both!I read a post where it said she put her hair ina pineapple.Im guessing its not the literate sense lol!Im kindda confused so plzz help me up! Thank you!

Hi! I'll try to answer your questions the best I can. First off cones aren't bad unless you're not using shampoo with sulfates at all (cause cones can build up if not properly washed out). i personally use shampoo because i have the same problem you do. you can find definitions for pineapple and plopping on the homepage unders faqs i think. not everyone here is cg. i read the book but i don't follow her advice at all, because my hair just works a different way i guess. HTH.
