Curly Hair Care: The Best and Worst Shampoo for Curly Hair

Previously on Curly Hair Care: The series was introduced!

Hey Guys!! Everyone's hair care starts with a little shampoo and conditioner. Whether you shower at night or in the morning, shampoo and conditioner are always the first products to hit your hair before styling. For girls with curly hair, the right shampoo can really make a difference in frizz control. Today I am going to talk about some shampoos and conditioners that I have found to be perfect for taming the wild beast.

Recommended Shampoo:
Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo for Curly, Dry and Unmanageable Hair.
This shampoo comes in  a green bottle and the product is like a light green transparent color. The bottle sizes range from the normal to the huge ones with the pump. This product is my holy grail shampoo for curly hair. Personally, I had tried many shampoos that were designed to tame frizz but this is the only one that I noticed made even the slightest bit of difference. Reality is, the right shampoo alone is not going to tame frizz. However, it is a very good place to start. This shampoo feels light in the hair and does not leave any residue or sticky feeling after showering. In addition, it is not heavily scented. Some people may prefer a more odorous shampoo however, you must keep in mind that the chemicals used to make those flavors may not be the best for taming frizz. This shampoo contains several natural ingredients such as Aragon Oil which I find to really help fight frizz.  Although I do recommend using a conditioner in conjunction with the product, you could just lather up with this shampoo and be good for the day. This product is a drug store product and it is also available at local food stores and target so it is not that expensive and easy to locate. I will provide an online ordering option at the end of this post.

Recommended Conditioner:
This should not come as much of a suprise but the Garnier Fructis Fortifying Conditioner for Curly, Dry and Unmanagable Hair is most deff the conditioner I recommend to you. This product comes in a green opaque bottle and the actual product is white. It leaves the hair feeling so soft and it really helps keep the grid down in the morning. This works wonders in conjunction with the shampoo I  just talked about and again, it  is decently priced at target or your local food or drug store.

Shampoo and Conditioner I would. NOT Use:
The packaging of shampoo and conditioner usually state what kind of hair they are meant for. My biggest caution is not to purchase a shampoo for wavy hair if you have curu and Unmanagable hair. The stuff they put in it is different and it will not do as good of a job as a specific shampoo for your hair type. I know that that is kind of obvious but it's super easy to just go to the store and pick out a shampoo of a familiar brand and not look to closely at the label. Also, I know that many people think that in order to control their curly hair they need expensive shampoo and conditioner from that salon. Honestly, you do not. If you want to purchase the expansive stuff and it works for you and you can that's great but if you can't afford it, you are not doomed. The Garnier line of hair products is honestly so amazing that you really do not need to spend the money. After all, the more expensive Dosent have to mean the better.


Okay that wraps it up for this post. Now that spring is here and school is warping up I have so much more time to come back and blog and I am so much more inspired to do so so stay tuned for a new post very soon!

Is The Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment Worth the Hype?

 Hey Fashionista's! Today we are going to talk all about Hailey Bieber's Rhode Skincare line. This is not sponsored, I just really wanted to talk about these products. This semester in my public speaking class, I taught a unit all about persuasive speaking. My goal was to make the topic of persuasive speaking more relatable by showing how prevalent it is in our modern world. What was the product I brought in to show the power of persuasive speaking in the "influencer era"? You bet it was the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment. If you are a longtime reader, you know I rarely talk about skin care. Actually, I have probably never talked about skin care. That's because I don't really know what to say. I don't ever buy the trendy products because I am allergic to so many of them and if not, they make me break out. BUT Hailey Bieber got me- talk about effective persuasive speaking. I watched a few videos on YouTube of her using the products and talking about their ing...

June Favorites!!

Hey guys!! Another fabulous month has passed and what a month it has been! June was very stressful for me but also the biggest relif because it was the end of school and training for the day camp that I worked at. So I have a good amount of favorites for the month of June so I am going to go on and get into it. 1.) My  first favorite of the month is my Maybeleen concealer stick. I decided to stray from my Almay holy grail concealer and try out a more full coverage concealer because I was not getting a whole lot of sleep due to school so I had lovely dark circles. I have been using this product every day and kind of have a love hate relationship with it but decided to include it. Lets start with the pros. I love that it makes my undereyes glow and wakes me up a bit. I also love the coverage that it gives. NO dark circles will be seen when you use this product. I also really like the texture because it is really creamy and easy to apply. Now for the cons. I am pretty tan and so I b...
