In reply to Carmen. Hey Carmen, You can but I believe it's just the VO5 Mega Hold Styling gel that's Curly Girl friendly at the moment. Check out this post about curly girl method gels for some more ideas!

Great tips for starters. One question, can I use VO5 hair gel?

Hey Catherine!
Absolutely, I used to straighten my hair too and I can totally get why you might feel that it’ll just end up a frizzy mess! It will work, but it’ll take a bit of time and patience to find the right product combinations and also to see results, but if you try some of the things I’ve mentioned here you should start to see changes soon! Let me know how you get on 🙂 x

In reply to Ar. Hi I’ve been straightening my hair for 8yrs! It was wavy not really curly and frizz is my constant nightmare whenever I try to go back to curly. Will this work for me? Thanks.

In reply to Kate. Hey Kate! So as fas as I'm aware isopropyl alcohol is a drying alcohol so probably won't be that CG-friendly, however, if it's quite far down the ingredients list it may not be too concentrated and will probably not have too much of a drying effect on your hair, so I'd give it a try anyway! Make sure you have a look at curlsbot and you can always paste an ingredients list into there to get a quick overview of what is considered CG-friendly and what isn't. Let me know how you get on!

Hi there,
I bought the Superdrug rosehip and cactus conditioner and it wasn’t until I was home realised it has isopropyl alcohol in it, is this a drying alcohol and if so is the product still CG approved? Many thanks.

In reply to Gillian. Hi Gillian, thanks for your question! I would probably recommend looking into products that have a silver element to stop the dreaded yellow tinge - I would suggest using this Provoke Touch Of Silver Colour Care Conditioner. I'm not 100% sure if the shampoos in that range are curly-girl friendly, but I believe the conditioners are! I'll do some research into that side of things though and update the post. Let me know how you get on :) x

Hello,
I have silver grey natural curly hair and was wondering what products would best suit my hair without making it yellows. At the moment I use products suitable for grey hair to stop that yellow tinge.

There are some great tips on here! As a fellow curly haired woman, I will be looking into these as my hair begins to grow again (currently it is quite short but I am in the process of growing it down again).

Bravo to you and thanks 🙂
