Curly hair isn't hard . . . you just need to stay away from a few ingredients.

​

The hard part is that these things are found in 99% of all beauty products. 

 

The other hard part is that we're told some of them are "good" for our hair. 

​

Maybe these things don't bother other people but after a couple of days

of using products with these ingredients, my hair is dry, brittle, frizzy, and

completely unmanageable. 

​

If you want bouncy, shiny, frizz-free curls avoid these things at all cost:

​

1. Alcohol             

2. Cetyl Alcohol     

3. Stearyl Alcohol  

4. Cetearyl Alcohol

​

Basically, avoid alcohol of any kind.

​

 THERE IS ONE EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE 

​

IF the bottle specifically states that the above are

"DERIVED FROM PLANTS"

then the product is okay. 

​

If the bottle doesn't say this, then the

ingredients are made in the lab

and our curls know the

difference . . . at least mine do!
