K.I.S.S.

Keep It Simple & Save... Stop worrying about finding the perfect product to:
define curl
retain length
keep moisture
and...
You can spend hours and upwards of 100's of dollars on the perfect product. Do your research and study individuals' hair who may be similar, then purchase.  Purchase from a retailer that accepts returns and do just that. Return it. If the product does not do what is promises, take/send it back.


Believe me if I am not satisfied, I will get my money back or exchange it. No shame. One of my friends (Maris) advised me that she does not know anyone that returned a car. Well believe me, I DID!  I do not play; I bought a car that promised better Miles Per Gallon, and it did not deliver, so it was what?  RETURNED and exchanged for the vehicle that really has great MPG.

I digress, my point is return it, or better yet, just stop buying all of these over promised, less than performing Products.

K.I.S.S. and use products containing more natural products.  Avoid sulfates-sodium lauryl-especially ammonium laureth/lauryl sulfates, parabens, mineral oil or petrolatum, and limit silicones.  A few steps, but simple enough to follow are listed below.

weekly:
sulfate free shampoo                                                 
moisturizing conditioner from same line & detangle       
leave in spray                                                          
light oil                                                                                                           
always stretch hair with twists or braids w/                   
a setting lotion, moisturizing cream, or hair butter 

daily tips:
use bonnet nightly
twist/braid with aloe vera juice or moisturizer at night as needed

monthly options:
put it up once/month-protective style
clarify/apple cider vinegar rinse once

trim ends as needed
no heat
Fully use all of the product until completely used, then repurchase or try a new product line, but if it's tried and true...Just keep using it!

Try to maintain your hair yourself and visit a Stylist once every 2-3 months for a change of style, deep condition, hydration treatment, or just some relief.  K.I.S.S.
