best curl definer

for 3a curls?

is redken ringlet any good?

I just used Curl Keeper: www.curlmart.com/Cur...olutions-curl-keeper under my gel (Aveda Flax seed and Aloe) and I am amazed at my curl definition.

Curl Keeper: www.curlmart.com/Cur...olutions-curl-keeper is sold here and it is worth it's weight in gold in my opinion.

I like Curl Keeper: www.curlmart.com/Cur...olutions-curl-keeper and the Alagio Crazy Curls Cream. The Innersense Quiet Calm Curl Cream is great too.

I bought Kinky Curly Curl Custard a month ago and just can't seem to get it to work well. I think it is a distribution problem that I am having but I know many people love KCCC: www.curlmart.com/Kin...urly-curling-custard . My hair coils up really well on it. But not all over and not all the time. I think if I could get it to work consistently, it would be my holy grail. Even though it is expensive, I only use a tiny amount.

Curl Junkie Curl Cremes, Innersense QCCC, KCCC: www.curlmart.com/Kin...urly-curling-custard (when it's not humid)

re:coil: www.curlmart.com/AG-...ecoil-curl-activator is a great product but it does have magnesium sulfate which dries/frizzes out some curlies

I am in love with MOP-C curl defining cream: www.curlmart.com/MOP...-curl-defining-cream , takes a little experimenting to get the right amount but works great once you get the hang of it!!!!

Yes, Redken Ringlet 07 is good, except it has dimethicone in it. If you are CG, then it will not work for you.

If you use shampoo with sulfates occasionally, then you might want to try it. I am not CG, I use shampoo with sodium laureth sulfate maybe 2x a week and I still cannot use the Redken Ringlet 07 everyday, as dimethicone builds up too much on me.

If you want a good everyday kind of curl cream:

If you're CG: MOP-C or Biotera

If you're modified CG: L'Oreal Out of Bed (water soluble cone; it's not marketed as a curl cream but it functions as one)

If you are not CG: Redken Ringlets 07; Redken Fresh Curls leave in (doubles as a curl cream); Beyond the Zone's Noodle Head

I'm getting great spirally curls with KCCC: www.curlmart.com/Kin...urly-curling-custard -- even in the humidity; in fact, more so with the humidity.

I get the spirals, it's just stays soft. I mixed it with the Paul Brown Hawaii goo yesterday and I think I used too much KCCC: www.curlmart.com/Kin...urly-curling-custard . It was gooey, didn't harden. I got BHRG yesterday afternoon, maybe I'll try the KCCC: www.curlmart.com/Kin...urly-curling-custard with that tomorrow.

Hmmm, mine did stay pretty soft on Friday when I used it on its own. I hardly had any crunch to scrunch out, but it lasted all day long in the humidity. Yesterday, I used a little more and I got a lot more crunch and it scrunched out really nice and soft and was REALLY spirally. I only use a tiny pea-sized amount of KCKT: www.curlmart.com/Kin...day-leaveindetangler as leave-in in soaking wet hair while still in the shower, though. I've gotten much better results the last couple days since I stopped mixing in the BRHG -- my hair seems to curl around more without the harder hold gel. I'll have to see if that continues now since I got a couple inches cut off yesterday.

Hope the good haircut vibes got to you!! This morning I did a little KCKT: www.curlmart.com/Kin...day-leaveindetangler , which I don't think is moisturizing enough--had to put a little CJ on my crown, which I haven't had to do since the haircut on Wed. Used two pea-sized blobs of the KCCC: www.curlmart.com/Kin...urly-curling-custard and then a little of the BRHG. I got great spirals, which did harden. Ended up on the back deck for a while--in all the humidity. I still have great curls, lots of volume and very little frizz. It will be interesting to see how it holds up. I have to go to WVa for a few days--and I need to take something that will work, since I can't take every product in my arsenal--LOL. Decisions, decisions.

LOL - I know exactly how you feel. I went to the beach last month and had a terrible time trying to figure out which products to take. I hadn't tried the KCCC: www.curlmart.com/Kin...urly-curling-custard yet. Turned out my hair looked like crap the entire time, but since I was on vacation, I didn't
