Hey there fellow wavies! So I've got a good routine going that's keeping my hair feel supple and healthy! But I wanted to see other products that are CG friendly that aids with moisture (but not too much since I get oily scalp after day one). I'm looking for shampoos and conditioners mainly so let me know which ones you guys like most! I looked at some pages here but I found that there weren't enough product recommendations for 2B hair types.
Thanks guys
Products I use:
Shampoos: Elucence Volume Clarifying Shampoo (1x-2x month) ; Devacurl Weightless waves shampoo cleanser
Conditioners: OGX Keratin Conditioner
Deep Conditioner: Jessicurl Deep Conditioning treatment
Leave in: Devacurl Weightless Waves conditioner (squish to condish)
Gel/Curl Enhancer: Shea Moisture Curl smoothie (very little bit) ; Ouidad Advanced Climate Control gel
PS: was thinking about investing in Ouidad curl quencher shampoo but idk if worth it?
Thanks guys

Thanks!
I also have fine, low porosity hair, but I'm not sure if my products are a good idea for you, because it seems like you use a lot of small proteins in your products, and my hair freaks out if I even look at a protein. But, if you were interested, you can see what products I like in my signature line. Alaffia seems to be somewhat unknown, but if you were interested in trying it, also take a look at the Alaffia Reishi Shampoo. I haven't tried it because I already henna my hair every 2-3 weeks, and was worried about over-hennaing effect. But, I have been really happy with almost everything I have tried from the Reishi line (I started with the hand/body lotion).
If you want to try the Ouidad, it's not a bad idea, as in some ways it is similar to the Deva weightless shampoo since it has protein. A couple others you might want to look into are the Curl Junkie Curl Assurance Shampoo, and a shampoo from Raw Curls. Both of these have silk protein in them, which is also a small protein, so your hair might respond well to these. (In the before times, my hair used to love silk protein). Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus is also similar, but a lot of people are reporting that SM is weighing their hair down. I think there has been a change in formulation, and so their products aren't working like before.
But hopefully others will chime in with their preferences soon.

I'm new on the CG journey, but I've been doing sulfate/silicone free for a while. I'm still on a mission to find the right styling products for me.
I have fine, high porosity, type 2 hair. I just claim all of type 2 because it's like half 2b, half 2c, with some 2a mixed in here and there to make things annoying.
