Curly Like Me for 4C

I am trying a new method for curly hair y'all. I don't know how I will like it because so far, it is not so good!! I checked out this book called "Curly Like Me" by Teri LaFlesh. She shares her life/hair story in the book, throws in some pics, and lastly, gives instruction for shampooing, conditioning, and styling curly hair.

Pros

Easy to read

Instructional pictures

Ingredient breakdowns

List cheap products

Tool list

Simple approach

Cons

Repetitive

Not for kinky hair

Styles for long hair

Week 1

Used TresEmme Moisture Rich condtioner as my leave-in/styler. Did not like the white residue after hair dried, however, I did like the way my hair felt and looked during the drying process. Not really patient enough to "doodle" my hair and I could use less conditioner next time.

I don't feel this method is for me. It required a lot of product, a lot of time in the shower and a lot of manipulation. This is obviously a method for looser curled girls, I mean, look at the cover of her book, that alone should have made me change my mind. I also have low po hair and should have known all that conditioner I had to use would not soak in. I have type 4 hair and don't have the time to doodle or shingle my hair, twists are my best friend. It also took my hair a long time to dry and 2nd day hair is impossible for me. On to the next........

Have you tried this method? What are your thoughts??

Beautiful Textures Texture Manageability Sytem- A 6 Week Review

I have been looking for a treatment similar to Kera Minerals since I used it on my daughter about a year ago. I didn't really want to get an expensive treatment, so I ventured on over to YouTube to find my answer. I watched a lot of videos and reviews for various brands like Organix, Palmers, plus I found this site with other systems. Finally, I came upon a review for Beautiful Textures, watch the video here , and was quite impressed. I always thought this was a line for children and could just SMELL the overly fragrant fruity smell associated with most products geered toward children. Plus, the packaging is a bit busy and tacky looking. Last week I stopped at my local Walgreens for whatever it was, I can't recall, but as usual, I took a stroll down the hair product aisle and this caught my attention. The exact product I was interested in on sale for HALF OFF!!! I snatched up 2, one for me and one for my daughter. I was especially excited because the box featured a...
