Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update (10/3/2015): My recipe (below) is for short hair (e.g. no longer than 2 inches). My hair is now 9 inches long and I have a completely different hair recipe (e.g. different products). I've had a perm on my hair for 36 years. I thought my real hair was nappy, unruly, dry, frizzy, and unmanageable. But, my hair started thinning and I decided to get a BC. After the chop, my hair was dull, dry, had no pattern of curls. But, I washed my hair with Design Essentials Organic Cleanse Deep Cleansing Shampoo and Moisture Retention Conditioning Shampoo, and conditioned it with Stimulations Moisturizing Creme. Then, I applied Mixed Chicks Leave-In Conditioner (about 50 cent piece worth). Right afterwards, I evenly distributed two 50 cent pieces worth of Shea Moisturizer Smoothie. I rubbed it between my hands and smoothed it from the front of my hair line to the back. Then, I massaged it in. Afterwards, I smoothed it back with my hands and let it air dry. Within seconds, my curls became more defined as it dried. For the first 5 minutes, my hair had a light layer of white coating. BUT, my hair drank it up. So, within those 5 minutes, the white coating was gone. My hair is ROCKIN!! I NEVER EVER EVER thought I could have curly hair. I didn't think it was possible. My hair regimen includes, spraying on a light amount of Roots of Nature, Mango Oil & Cupuacu Butter, Curl Reviving Spray and then applying Shea Moisturizer. Then, I take my fingers and massage my hair in a circular fasion and then let it dry. I do not brush or comb it. If I don't use Shea Moisturizer my hair looks like a rug. It will not go into curls/coils. This product is not a gel or holding formula. It is a thick moisturizer, that makes your hair shrink into curls. It drys lightly firm, with a good sheen. I DEFINITELY recommend people with dry, dull, hard to curl hair use this. I am amazed at how my hair looks.
