At this price point, I’d be crazy not to include this on my list of affordable curly girl method products. This is a solid product, especially if your hair takes well to protein. My hair has a love/hate relationship with protein, so, given that this product has hydrolyzed wheat protein listed among it’s first few ingredients, I cannot use.

Do you suffer from curly hair that's dry, damaged, frizzy, or uncontrollable? Are you open to trying something new? The curly girl method (also referred to as 'no-poo') is based on the book 'Curly Girl' by Lorraine Massey. The nickname 'no-poo' alludes to not using a sulfate shampoo, because sulfates tend to strip the hair of its natural oils. Once you take away the sulfates, your hair can retain its natural moisture.
This article contains basic guidelines for following the main rules of the curly girl method (no silicones, no sulfates/shampoo, no heat) as well as how to follow a good routine for curly hair to maximize your curls' potential. Like many beauty regimens, the results will vary from person to person, but this method just might work for you. So, say good-bye to the frizz and split ends and hello to soft, healthy curls!
