Introduction: A newbie

I used to be natural in 2008-09. It was much easier for me then because i had in micros most of the time. In 2009 I decided to go back to relaxed hair. I did not want to be away at school sitting over the stove hot combing my hair. Now looking back on it I wish i would have stuck with it. I do not know there was a natural hair community out there that I could go to for advice and could teach me so much new things about my hair. I should have done my research. Now I am going natural again. It is harder this time around, no braid or twists, just the fro. I started the transition in April and the big chopped in October. I was regretting the BC because I am not a short hair kind of girl but it grew on me. I am trying out the modified CG method. I am trying to be a reformed PJ. It just hard seeing all the products I want to try. Until very recently I was using mixed chicks DC and LI. I found out that it contains silicones which I am trying to stay away from. Sigh I am disappointed. I am now looking for something new to use. The PJ in me is overjoyed at the thought lol. Advice and suggestions would be wonderful.

You might also want to stay away from drying alcohols (e.g. pure alcohol, denat. alcohol, SD alcohol, ethanol, methanol, propanol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol (however most other -yl alcohols are actually REALLY good ingredients), parafin, mineral oils, beeswax.
Oh and then there are some people who are protein sensitive (but remember, even protein sensitive hair NEEDS protein every now and then).
Here's an alcohol list. CurlySuzy Q&A: Help Me Understand Alcohols
It's not in the list, but cetearyl alcohol is also a good alcohol.
