I use CCCC Lite (see my signature). I haven't used the other products you mentioned so can't compare. I do fine with the CJ Curl Queen gel which is a medium hold, but I do the "Consistently...

Marsha at Curl Junkie suggested I use it as a leave in. I had good curls but some frizz as well. On a hunch I tried mixing it in my hand with CCCC Lite. The combo is the perfect leave in for me. ...

I can't stand it when the hair at the front of my hairline lays flat (if my hair was short, I would call it the bangs area). Here's what I do after applying gel to my wet hair and scrunching with...

FSG and marshmallow root

I've found many allusions to using marshmallow root infused water to make FSG. Question for any who do this - How much herb to how much water and how long do you let it soak? Last batch of FSG I...

Well, CurliLocks and other encouragers, here’s my “report” – hopefully I didn’t do anything to goof up the color. I did the strand test Thursday evening – looked fine, although a bit more subtle...

Just a few weeks into CG last summer I couldn't wait and had a Deva cut with a highly rated stylist. As many have commented, I wasn't crazy about the styling (more volume than I care for) but even...
