[QUOTE=Layla]Some mousses have alcohol in them and I just heard today that the propellant in mousse is drying. Do you want something with hold or do you want something like a leave-in conditioner?

something like a leave in conditioner.....I do not like my hair to feel hard.

[QUOTE=scsaey]I realize it's been awhile since you asked about products, but the best I've found for curly hair is a combination of spray leave-in conditioner (I like Michael Rourke's Whey Better), L'Oreal Professional's Liss Extreme oil scrunched through, then a curl enhancer to balance out the curl (I use Spring Up Styler by Textureline, Curl Memory line), dry with a diffuser and finally a bit of Textureline Material pomade and a final scrunch.  Hair is soft and pliable and can be "refluffed" or whatever needed during the day.  Works well even in windy, rainy conditions.  One final product I recommend is Aquage, Beyond Shine.  It adds extra shine and a bit of moisture to make unruly pieces pliable for the last step - keeps it looking good all day!  I've tried over $500 worth of products in the past 5 years since my hair turned totally curly and I've hardly had a even a semi-bad hair day since I tried these![/QUOTE]

Where can I buy these products?

I realize these products can be hard to find...you can find salons in your area who carry the L'Oreal Professional product by going to:

http://www.lorealprofessionnel.com/index.aspx

Textureline products are carried numerous places:  JC Penney Salons, Walmart Salons, Trade Secrets, Beauty Express, etc.

You can find the Aquage Beyond Shine by finding a Salon near you at http://www.aquage.com/

And finally...the Leave-In Conditioner can be found at www.sexyhair.com.  It is part of their Fresh Concepts line and there is a link that says "Where to buy" and you can look up a salon by zip code.

Or if you're lucky like I am...you might be able to find it all in one place.

For my curly hair, i like Curls up, comes in a curvy bottle, can buy it at Wal-mart for 5.00.  Bed Head makes a gel/cream, smells like coconut, very light weight, i buy it for 4.97 at Salley Beauty Supply, or Walmart, anywhere that carries bed head.  It is for curly hair.  I don't like things that make your curls stiff.  I also like loeral mouse for curls.  I don't like pantene, suave, garnier fruits, or the brunette line for curls...these seemed to dry my hair out.  And once a week i use a shampoo, any that gets rid of built up (made to get rid of build up, making myself sound like i never wash my hair!)  and i like this tea tree, conditioner, it is a once time treatment, i do this about every month, or when i notice my curls needing bounce....i leave this treatment in for an hour, rinse, and it makes my hair really nice and soft and easy to do.
