3A-B, wannabe CG-er, in a major dilemma!

frizzwhiz

I have been wanting to go CG for a long while, but never got around to doing it... Now I am serious about it, but my mom won't let me by any more hair products!

Last month or so, I decided to have a hair reform... I bought all these products supposedly meant for curly hair, and had been using them for a while. They had been working well for a while, but lately I've been finding my hair to be quite coarse and frizzy, and all together dull. Today I took a good look at the ingredients and found them ridden with -cones and sulfates...

I'm having an issue, because I can't find any products for me that I could use... I live outside of the U.S. and most items here are very curl un-friendly. Is there any way I can "dilute" or tame the effects of the -cones and sulfates? Or, what are some cheap, worthwhile hair products that I can use? (That are available at most drugstores)

There isn't any way to dilute or tame the bad products, sorry. Try posting in the main forum stating what country you are in and asking about products. (You could also do a search.) Also, check for these products in your stores:

Also this is a great resource if you're trying to identify ingredients:

HTH!
