  #1: What to try next?
  I cut out cones several months ago, but couldn't get hold of any sulfate free shampoo until recently (I was in China now in UK). Over the past month I've been using sample packs of both Jessicurl (light) and Moptop. There's a definite improvement. My hair feels more like hair already, but there's a long way to go. The Jessicurl gives me great curls, but it makes my hair look a bit lank, especially on top where it doesn't curl or wave. The Moptop looked fabulous the first time I used it, but ever since it just dries it out big time. This week I've decided to eliminate the shampoos altogether and have been using Too Shea for my poo free washing. There's a little more body and sheen, but using the styling products makes it either dry or lank no matter how sparingly I apply - I think the salts don't suit me. What I'm really looking for now is some SHINE.

  I went round with a list from here when I first got back so I've tried the Natural Source (can't get sulfates out of my hair because of the house's water softening system), the Boots (too heavy) and the 3MM (can't remember why I didn't like that ) , but there's a few more to try. I think I saw the Curly Q Milk shake you're using on Naturalfrizz - any good?

  I really like the Curly Q Milkshake now but wasn't really keen on it the first time I tried it. It is really moisturizing in my hair but it doesn't leave my hair gunky. I put it into sopping wet hair before I even scrunch out any water. Curly Q Milkshake is supposed to be for children but it has the same ingredients as the Curls Milkshake plus it's cheaper so I think most people buy it. It is reasonably priced too and it comes in a pretty good sized tub so it should last you a long time. I have aloe vera gel and never thought to use it on my hair. I use it when I burn my hands(used to from straightening my hair). I bought a good sized tube of it on sale at Holland & Barrett if you want to look there. I have never tried it in my hair yet, but I might try it now from reading what that other poster said.
