Kinky Curly Hair Products

So I revisited Kinky Curly over the weekend because I knew I was going out to a day party (outside) on Sunday and needed a hairstyle that wouldn't look like a mop with the humidity and whatnot. The first and last time I used KC Curling Custard (KCCC) was when I first cut off my locs. Loved it then, but never used it since I got my haircut because I was so busy experimenting with a bunch of other products. Man, this stuff is the best, my hair looked so nice. It really is the only product that gives such well defined curls and great shine. It also works on very coarse hair. And it's all natural. The only "prob" is it's not the cheapest at $17.99 a jar (small 8oz one). The good thing is it's available at Target, so it's easily accessible, and for a dollar cheaper.  The next time I'm probably going to invest in the big 16oz jar @ $30 (not at Target, but Ricky's NYC has it). I know, but it doesn't contain glycerin therefore it's great for the summer for wash-n-go's (wng's) when the dewpoint could get a bit nuts. All the other gels I own have glycerin pretty high up in the ingredients list. Another great glycerin-free gel apparently, I've never tried it, is Curl Junkie's Curl Queen.

My Weekend Hair Regimen:
KC Come Clean shampoo, really leaves hair feeling clean
Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle deep conditioner (has a 'cone, but I love it)
KC Knot Today detangler/leave-in, great detangler, I even use it on my son
KC Curling Custard (smells like marshmallows btw), it feels sticky when applying, but dries great if you don't overdo it.

Both the leave-in (LI) and Curling Custard were on Essence Mag's Beauty Best Sellers List for 2008.

It's been said that KC does not "play well" with other products, meaning it could leave the hair white, etc. So I just use the whole line together. You can also get a few days with this regimen without having to wash and re-do everyday. The first couple days I just fixed my hair with my fingers and I did it Saturday night. Yesterday and today were the only days I had to spray a bit of water and put in KC Spiral Spritz. It's pretty fuzzy now and I'll probably re-wash tonight. I notice their Gloss Pomade is apparently good for 2nd day hair, maybe I'll try it one day. **update, the custard works well with Oyin's Hair Dew under it**

Here is my hair the next day at the party, sorry it's not a close-up (or cropped!), I have to start taking those to put on my blog :D
