Just a great everyday conditioner, and retail price is less than $5. Good slip, good moisture, but not overly heavy. Simple Truth (Kroger Brand) Charcoal Conditioner (11.8oz) - I bought it on clearance, so I’m fairly certain this scent is discontinued, but I really, really liked this and would definitely buy other products from this line. Johnson’s Ultra Hydrating Conditioner (13.6oz) - gritty, tangly, yuck. It doesn’t have enough slip for me to use as a rinse-out conditioner though. There’s better masks out there, but if you like the scent this isn’t a bad one.Īs I Am Classic Coconut Cowash (3oz) - I really like this cowash - with proper scrubbing it does actually cleanse my hair. Did make my hair feel softer and smoother, but the scent is wayyyyy too strong to actually use in your hair overnight. Pacifica Moon Cloud overnight repair mask (8 oz) - Fine, but just fine. For that purpose, it worked really well, but I would rather just use Neutrogena for the price. Wella Oil Reflections Luminous reveal shampoo (1.7oz) - I got this as a sample from Ulta, and used it as a clarifying wash a few times since it has sulfates. If I had all the money in the world, this would be in my everyday rotation. Cleansing but not stripping, nice thick texture but not gloopy. Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Shampoo (2oz) - Pricy, but no denying it’s good. Absolutely stripping and absolutely would dry your hair out with consistent use, but as a once a month reset wash, it is *chef’s kiss*. Neutrogena Anti-residue Shampoo (6oz) - my favorite clarifying shampoo. Smells good, lathers well, just a good all-around product. It’s cleansing enough to use every wash day but not stripping. MopTop Gentle Shampoo (8oz) - I love this stuff. Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo (8.5oz) - too stripping for my everyday use, but a nice cleanser to alternate with more gentle ones. Johnson’s Ultra Hydrating Shampoo (13.6oz) - same as above, made my hair feel gritty and tangly, even if I used a different brand conditioner with it.

Absolutely would not recommend any of them for adult hair. Almost felt like my hair had too much protein, although not all the products have a lot of protein. They ALL make my hair feel gritty, tangly, and just overall unpleasant. Johnson’s Curl Defining Shampoo (13.6oz) - this, along with all the other Johnson’s baby haircare items were purchased at my local grocery store on super clearance ($1-2 each). I don’t have super hard water at my house, but I did do a lot of swimming this summer and I feel like it helped keep my hair from getting too chlorinated from that. I wouldn’t use it every single wash (too clarifying for that), but alternated with a cowash or gentle shampoo, it’s good. Ion hard water Shampoo (10.5oz) - nice clarifying but not stripping shampoo.

If I don’t do the full CG deal, I just use some leave-in and mousse and air dry. My usual routine (if I style CG-style): low-poo, squish to condish, completely rinse out conditioner, apply leave-in to soaking wet hair, scrunch in curl enhancer, gel, plop, more gel or mousse, then diffuse.

I just don’t have the time or energy to do all the scrunching and diffusing every wash day. To be very honest, I only do the fully curly routine every week or two. I do a sulfate wash about every 4-6 weeks, highlight my hair (DIY), and I occasionally heat style it, maybe once a month. I got a pretty significant haircut this summer, so my hair is currently just below clavicle length. I think my hair is medium porosity at the top, and higher porosity at the ends since I do not follow the CGM 100%. I have 2A-2C hair that I think is fairly average in both thickness and density. It’s been really interesting to look back at the year, how many products I used, and how my preferences and hair have evolved over time.įirst, a little bit about me and my hair: I started the curly girl method late 2019, so a little over two years ago. Yes, I spent an entire year acting like an influencer and saving all my empties.
