If you don't towel dry.. what do you do? Drip dry all over the bathroom?
Got2B has a mousse that i use.. it's the only product i've ever used that does a decent job with my curls.
Kel, for some, curls are a "lifestyle". (visit Naturallycurly.com and see.

)
Some actually do drip all over the bathroom. Some "plop" which refers to putting sometghing like An-gell, Be-leave-in, or Heaven in Hair, or a bit of One Condition (all Devacurl products) in soaking wet hair, flipping your head over & letting your curls "puddle" into an old tshirt or microfibre towel, tieing it up and letting it dry. Once almost dry, hit it with a diffuser. The theory is by smushing the curls, unmanipulated, to your head, they dry in their natural shape (wet hair hangs, which creates tension, which pulls out the curl, which creates "halo frizz" ). Maximum curl & smoothness is supposed to result. It's like a science, or something.
I've tried the Low-Poo & the No-Poo. I can't No-poo. My hair needs some poo. Low-Poo is ok, but I prefer a regular gentle shampoo every other day, personally. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is harsher than LaurETH sulfate, so look for the "ETH". The sulfate-free poos are better for very dry curls though, for sure.
And YES, you are worth it, and we want pics!
