Conditioner for curly hair

I have curly hair and have found Biolage shampoo and conditioner work well for me. I use their color care line. I co-wash about every other day (conditioner only).

I've tried just about everything...it seems like I have to chagrin it up every once in a while. My hair is loving Has Keratin shampoo and conditioner right now. No fizz even with God awful southern heat. Our index was 103 today....hair isn't even fizzy.

I just switched my girls to LOMA shampoo and conditioner and I love everything about it. The conditioner makes their curly hair so smooth and silky that I'm considering using it.

I currently use a sulphate free shampoo/conditioner by kerestases for my curly hair. It's fantastic - called something with fluid in the name - but it is $$$. It's the one to use with keratin treatment. I don't have the treatment but the shampoo /conditioner is great. The LOMA was more reasonable but not cheap.

I'm one of the weird curlies who doesn't like the Deva line. I've tried it (a few times - I keep having high hopes), but I just don't like what it does to my hair. I've been using L'Oreal's EverPure shampoo and conditioner for a while now and really like it. (DH likes it too, on the itty bitty amount of hair that he still has.) Once or twice a week, I use OGX Sea Mineral Moisture shampoo and conditioner as well. My hair does better when it gets a break from its normal stuff, and I've found this combination works great for me.

I also don't care for the Deva line. I've tried the products and they just don't work well in my hair. I'm a 2C with high porosity. My hair strands themselves are thin, but I have a ton of hair. My hair takes hours to dry naturally, but I threw out my hairdryer years ago. I always let my hair dry naturally. 

After trying many, many products I finally found "the one". My favorite line can be found at www.frizzoff.com  Their products are called Curly Hair Solutions. My hair loves their Silk Shampoo, and I prefer using their Pure Silk Protein Deep Moisturizing Treatment for my conditioner (because I color my hair) and it needs a heavy duty conditioner. They have others to choose from if you need a lighter one. I also use their Curl Keeper Leave in Conditioner and their Curl Keeper Original which is like a very wet solution that works like a gel. It removes all of the frizz and creates amazing curls. 

I order these now from Amazon but at first when I found these products I ordered from this site. You can learn all about them from this site, and how they are made-they don't use heavy oils and butters. They are made to lock in the moisture from water. Once the Curl Keeper dries in my hair I can reactivate the next day simply by rewetting my hair. It really is amazing. The line also has the nasty stuff taken out-parabens, sulfates all of that which makes a difference in my hair. 

I've been using this line for about 2 1/2 years now and really love it. They do have trail packs so you can try it out cheaper, or they have small sizes you can order on almost all of the products. I first tried a trail pack for wavy hair but my hair needed more conditioning so then I tried the one for really curly hair that had the conditioner I needed in it and the more conditioning shampoo. 

My hair is also very dry because I have hypothyroid.

THEY CHANGED PANTENE??

Breathing...

I use the same Pantene Conditioner and DevaCurl's conditioners. I sort of alternate between them because the DevaCurl is pricey and Pantene is less so. I basically use Pantese to make the DevaCurl last longer. Some days, I'll even use both at once. Dh bought a ton of it a while ago and now I feel like I will need to conserve it. I never use shampoo anymore, not even LoPoo.

My hair is somewhere between 2c/3a and is low porosity, if that helps.

I used a K-Pak from Joico. It is for colour treated hair, though. It works great on my curls. (I can't believe I can post in here as my hair is really curly now!!!!!!!)

I don't brush my hair unless I am going to straighten it. I just wear it scrunched with some gel for curly hair.

I wish I could use conditioner. I always knew that I had sensitive scalp, but I thought it was the shampoos that seemed to burn, however much I rinsed. My scalp goes red in patches, then scaly and itchy, then flakes off. I ran out of conditioner on holiday, and the burning stopped. I stopped using it. Every now and then my hair will look a bit dry and I'll put some conditioner on the ends (I have a short curly bob so only getting on the ends is almost impossible) and the rash comes straight back. Lesson learned.

I use a light Moroccan oil, or a silicone-based serum on it, then the gel, and half dry with a diffuser.
