Hair doesn't need a great number of products in it for it to function at its best. Because, when you keep layering product after product in your hair all you are doing is setting your head up for product overload. And, you will find yourself not liking the results that you are getting.

that's so good to know!
when my hair was really long, i used mousse to help it stay in place... the kind they say is for curls. well half the mousses i tried didn't do anything but make my hair crispy/crunchy.
i still have bottles of mousse sitting unopened on my shelf in the bathroom because i can't bring myself to use them again. that and i don't like how they smell (like fumes)...
my biggest thing is trying to get the right conditioner, i need something thicker than the average conditioner because most stuff on the market just doesn't cut it. i'm going to order some of the Curls conditioner soon. its so hard finding stuff that works. and it's weird because when i finally do find something that works just right, it works well for a month or two and then i find that it doesn't work very well after a while... because then my hair will go back to being POOFY and big again. so i generally jump from brand to brand, product to product and then back again.
one hair dresser told me that it's because hair gets used to the same thing, and just needs something else for a while because hair can get resilient to one product...?? i don't know if that is true, but it seems to be my case anyway!
so now my daily regimen looks kinda like this:
shampoo every other day, or every couple days (my hair doesn't get oily very fast)
condition hair
use Whipped Cream in hair and scrunch all while hair is still damp
put my hair in a braid or a bun until it dries (which takes forever since my hair is very very thick)
then i take it out and let my hair be free
but keep in mind i don't have a lot of time with a baby in the house... oh well!
so far i like the results with the whipped cream, but i do think maybe the souffle would work better for my 3a/3b hair. i just feel comfortable having the heavier creams in my hair for some reason.
i like using less products on my hair too, but i find that sometimes i just can't go without using conditioner, then spray in conditioner, then a styling cream on top of that, know what i mean???
