I use the Paul Mitchell Extra Moisture Daily Treatment when I condition my hair and Kenra 17 gel (Kenra 14 is NOT the same thing...). I only use conditioner every 3 days or so and the rest of the time I just scrunch it up with wet hands while in the shower...without wetting all of my hair. To dry your hair, just scrunch it up in the towel, don't wrap it or it pulls out the curl. Skip the brush completely. Really...that is what makes the frizz. If God blessed you with curls, it's so great to enjoy them! :o) Hope those tips help. I have been using the “curly girl” method for 2-3 years now and it made all the difference in my hair.

This would be horrible for me! Not to mention all of the hair product that goes into my hair daily. I would be really oily on day 2! :) My hair is naturally straight-totally straight, no curl, no body. This would be horrible for me!

A friend of mine who doesn't live nearby has gone no shampoo too. She also has naturally curly hair. She has had great success....but I have not seen her hair or photos of her hair. I have straight, fine hair. I need to check into the links you provided...I am not sure I understand the benefit of no shampoo! :) Thanks for being so brave! Your hair still looks great in the photos! I'll let you know about the moon sand. I haven't tried it out yet. Clay played with it on the vinyl tablecloth for a little while.....I did not see any mess. Have a great day! Joyfully, Roan Ok, this has me curious!

I ordered the "plop" towel you linked to. I had never seen that product or process and am excited to try it. P.S. I ordered the “plop” towel you linked to.

My spritz is about 80% water, 10% conditioner, 10% hair gel. I put a drop or two of lavender essential oil for fragrance and shake well. I had experimented with a spritz that had avacado oil, but it does give a greasy look that I wasn't happy with. I do have the book and I think it is worth buying.

The spritzing takes care of the frizzies. One thing I now do is brush THEN spritz with a water/conditioner/gel concoction I made up THEN scrunch. The spritzing takes care of the frizzies.
