Enliven gel is pretty good and silicone free! Also, other silicone free conditioners are loreal smooth intense conditioner and giovanni range.
Kinky curly knot today is a silicone free leave in 😊

Hey when we apply curl creams can we skip gels for styling. Are curl creams enough to hold the curls like gels ? And at what stage creams are applied in reference to LOC ?.

Reply

Anjana

November 27, 2016 at 12:27 pm

Divya, some creams have polymers and may be enough for light hold. Check the ingredients. Usually creams should be followed by gels if you really want strong hold. LOC stands for liquid-oil-cream so cream would be the last stage 🙂

Hi Anjana di!
I’m starting out the cg method and I have 2b to 2c curly/wavy hair… I’ve decided on using mamaearth onion hairfall shampoo, enliven friut conditioner…. However I’m not able to decide anything in the case of creme and gel… Please prescribe something that falls in the budget of 500-700/- for both items… And also is oiling with coconut oil fine?
And for refreshing my hair, what all products are needed?
Your blog is soo good! 💜

Just read your blog. Had a tough time figuring what to use and what not to.. i am guessing this article will help me in a much better way.
Could you also suggest shampoos as well? (Preferred below Rs.500)
Just going to start your prescribed curly hair routine (praying this works for me)
And also thank you so much for giving people like me (who just can’t get a hold of their curls) an insight to these products. 😊

Hi Anjana,

This is a boy query 🙂 kindly guide.
I am looking for a chemical free (or products with minimal chemical), which can help me keep my hairs shine, hold a bit and gives them some volume ( at least don’t weigh them down) and need not be washed out in the night.

My hairs gets curls if I let them grow beyond 3-4 inches especially at their ends. They become frizzy and dry if I don’t oil them after shampoo no matter whatever their length is. Honestly speaking I guess I am looking for an alternative to daily oil.
Thanks in anticipation!

Hey! Great blog! I learnt quite some stuff, which I didn’t in other blogs. I love the fact that you have so clearly mentioned the products that can be used which are available in India. I do have a few questions though. I have hair very similar to yours except it is very dry and gets frizzy almost immediately after I leave the shower. I do use leave-in conditioners, but they don’t seem hydrating enough. Also, is there any way, I can prevent my hair from falling while detangling it when wet after applying the conditioner. And how do I prevent hair from getting tangled during the days when I haven’t washed my hair. I wear a pony tail and have notice that, it ruins my curl patter, but leaving it loose cause more hair fall and tangles. Any suggestions?

So glad to hear that Anoosha 🙂 What is your curl type and what products do you use? While detangling, naturally shed hair comes off – it’s a natural process and there’s nothing to worry about that. You can read point 3 – https://www.curlsandbeautydiary.com/curly-hair-faq/ For the tangles, read this – https://www.curlsandbeautydiary.com/7-ways-keep-curly-hair-tangle-free-between-washes/ Leaving it open will NOT cause hairfall.

Hey. I have been using your method for the past one month or so and while my curls are looking good, my hair is always frizzy. Currently I am using the Loreal conditioner, Garnier leave in cream and Schwarzkopf Gel you had recommended. What I am observing is that my hair seems frizzy even when wet and during the squish and condish stage itself my hair does not clump as well and is frizzy. Any suggestions on how to prevent this and is this because I am doing something wrong?

Hi Anjana! I know you say you don’t make a big deal of which shampoo to use but I need some help. I’ve used 2 bottles of the WOW shampoo (the only moderately affordable and easily available sulphate free shampoo) but it just doesn’t seem to work for me. It makes my hair feel more dry. So I’ve thought of shifting to sulphate shampoos. But I still don’t want any silicone (neither in my shampoo nor conditioner.) Would you please recommend a sulphate shampoo with no silicone? Will using the pantene lively clean twice every week week be too harmful/drying since its a clarifying shampoo?

Hi Anjana! I’m not in India, but the United States and I was wondering if you’ve ever heard of the brand: As I am? I use their cowash, curling jelly, and leave in conditioner and they are amazing! Do you happen to know if those are CG approves (I know the cowash is). Also I use the shea moisture masque that contains apple cider vinegar as a deep conditioner and regular conditioner. It seems to work amazingly, do you happen to know if that is CG approved as well? Thank you for all your help! Looking at your site has helped me so much in my journey💘

Hey Anjana,

Can I use my wash conditioner as a leave in?

I have the TGIN triple moisture conditioner and the Jessicurl too shea conditioner After I am done washing, I use these as leave ins(separately, not both on the same wash day)
Also I refresh with these.. Do I need to use a different conditioner as a leave in?
I have been getting amazing results using these as leave ins but am concerned it should not harm hair in the long run.

Or along with prepoo, can I also use it to refresh my hair on non wash days?
Refresh meaning to keep it frizz free
Note: I have a type 2a wavy hair. 😀

Okay..hi there.
I have been going through curly hair blogs since a decade.. but trust me I just figured out what is right way for my hair today after seeing the comments below. But before I start I need your suggestion.
My hair is like beach wavy to curly(if it makes sense I explained well😣) it’s like really loose curls, not straight from the scalp but curls just below the neck… really loose curls. So use Pantene lively clean shampoo. Revlon flex conditioner. But the conditioner is making my hair rough and dry ( I think maybe because of protein sensitivity) and every time I end up using dove conditioner at the end. So today i just diluted my shampoo+Revlon conditioner and used dove conditioner at the end. Co washing only with Revlon conditioner making my hair frizzy. Haven’t tried enliven one(will be getting soon as soon as I complete Revlon)
My doubt is can I mix both clarifying shampoo and conditioner (mostly silicone free and sometimes any) to wash my hair?
I figured out to use clarifying shampoo , silicone free conditioner and ogx curl cream. I hope this works at least. and can you say I can use like this or not.
Or can I use general dove conditioner for Co washing and conditioning along with a clarifying shampoo ?
I know this sounds weird because I have written a lot..sorry.. But confused how my hair is behaving after all😣

Hey, thanks so much for the video. I’ve been looking for an actual video with steps for quite some time now. I have hair thats comparatively long and reaches my buttocks. The natural curls don’t really hold tgroughout the length probably due to the weight. It’s straight on top and curly only in the lower half. Hence, Im thinking of adopting the CG method. Just one main question. I’ve always grown up oiling my hair before a wash. Is that against the CG routine? Because co-washing would NEVER take the oil out. Also the method you use of diluting shampoo and washing just once would never work to take the extra oil out. Please help:(

Hi Anjana,

First of all, Thanks for this blog!
I have been following this from last one year.

My only concern is L’Oreal Paris Hair Expertise Smooth Intense Conditioner is out of stock everywhere(online and offline).
It suited my curly hair type, because of its thick consistency.

It’d be great if you could suggest some similar product in the same price range.

Envilen conditioner didn’t suit me since the consistency is watery.

Hi Anjana,
I love all your posts and reviews! I used to have better curls when I was living in places with humidity. But now I live in Bangalore and my curls are not forming the same shape anymore. Crown is always flat and frizzy. The outermost layer is almost straight and slightly shabby looking. I am not sure what is causing it. The hair that is under the top layer looks less damaged. I have tried many products, including Cantu curl activator leave-in. But it just made my crunchy a bit too crunchy and oily. I would like it to have a fluffy texture. My hair is thick and long. But I just never found anything product that would make my hair curly and fluffy. Do you have any suggestions?

This article is kinda old so not sure if I will get a response but I will ask this anyway.

I have wavy hair and have lately been using the squish to condish technique from your blog. It works out great and does give me curls however my hair is still a little frizzy and the curls don’t hold after day 1.
I use moroccan oil after taking shower as a serum. Should I follow that up with a gel to hold the curls?

Hi Anjana. I’ve been following the cg method (not so strict) for about 2 years now. In the beginning of the cg journey I used Maui moisture conditioner which I got from US (best hair days ever). Now that I’ve emptied it, I tried vilvah conditioner but it was too light for my hair. Then I tried more thicker consistency Shea moisture conditioner but it was too heavy and left residue. I’ve been oiling my hair regularly but recently it started to make my hair more frizzy. I’m a little lost as to what my hair needs. I prefer having a simple routine with minimal products – shampoo, conditioner and flaxseed gel. I checked the list of conditioners but don’t know the consistency of the conditioners. Do you have any recommendations for a conditioner which absorbs easily but still provides curl definition and hold?

I use Loreal Professional Serie expert shampoo and conditioner (only thing that prevents hairfall for me) and MoroccanOil Curl defining cream. Looking to buy a leave-in conditioner and a Curl gel based on your recommendations.
For leave in, which is your order of preference for me:
1. Ashba leave in for curly hair
2. Cantu shea butter lotion
3. As I am leave in conditioner
Also have you tried this: https://www.target.com/p/curls-blueberry-bliss-reparative-leave-in-conditioner-8-fl-oz/-/A-49118243?clkid=d3fe7076Nff2d11ea8b8d42010a246309&lnm=81938&afid=MagicLinks&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002

And deep conditioning with natural ingredients occasionally.
