I have been natural for a couple of years but was getting my hair straigtenend and made a conscious decision to stop around this time last year. But, I LOVE Curls products. They smell wonderful, moisturize my hair, and provide hold WITHOUT making it hard. Many other products such as Kinky Curly Curling Custard give definition but leave the hair hard, which is a look/feel I don't appreciate. My hair is a mixture of 3C,4A, and 4B. My hair is schizoprenic lol but anyhoo, I think the products are great. I have most of the products in the Curls line and use them all.

This is a life long battle for Mahisha. What you're doing is nothing new and it's only inspiring her to keep doing better and better and better while you're sitting on this forum just to hate on her next move. Go watch Kat Williams, Pimp Chronicle on the hating section and learn from that. Girls always peep behind her to see if she has tracks-it's HILARIOUS! She does not wear a WEAVE. I know it's very hard for you haters to believe that, just trust me on this one. Embrace, acknowledge, and accept another beautiful and successful women-afterall, she is the same color as you. Bless! I would just like to comment on Mahisha’s weave.

Or if you use that name with them I will just use that! BTW, the Ouidad products are not very expensive. You dont need to use a lot of the product. But, like I said, I am still trying to find a product for when our horrible Santa Ana winds blow. They are VERY dry. In the summer its a hot wind (up to last summer was 110!), in the winter it is usually a cold wind. But ALWAYS drying!!

UGH...they go frizzy, stand out when the Santa Ana Winds blow here in So. CA. I have fought my curls my whole life. I even straightened my hair....just wanted ONCE to know what it was like to have perfectly STRAIGHT hair and NOT worry about damn "mist" sprayers.....or watering my plants and the spray hitting my hair!! I finally found a product called Ouidad. She has a site you can go to....for ALL nationalities!! www.Ouidad.com even if you don't want her products she tells you everything you have just explained about ppl with curly hair!! DO NOT WASH EVERYDAY!!!!! IF you feel you need to wet your hair, just use your conditioner. Leave a LITTLE bit in your hair to help protect!! Anyway, THANK YOU for this SITE. I think I might try some of the products you have recommended. You do need to change hair care products every now and then. Its GREAT to go NATURAL!!! If God gave it to you.....its for YOU!!!

I agree that it is pointless to argue about what did not work and what worked and dispute this and that and so on and so on...POINT IS THIS: Everything does NOT work for EVERYBODY!! Women, we are all as different from each other as the shape of our bodies. So, look, stop bashing other products. You have options...if it does not work...MOVE ON to the next thing. Women we are always trying new & different things until we find what works so, do that. Thanks Hello.

Talk about drama!! First of all Afrobella, thank you for the Dellinger/Curls write up, and for allowing all the comments to stand. It amazes me that people who are more than willing to put money in the pockets of huge corporations with questionable products and practices will come down hard and harsh on small business entrepreneurs with excellent intentions and well-formulated products. I am not just talking about Mahisha Dellinger either. This is a phenomenon I have seen 2 or three times in the curly hair world. It is always ugly. I wish these people would save their vitriol for campaigns against "ethnic" companies who use total junk or even harmful but FDA-approved ingredients in their products and market it to the hugely lucrative black hair care market as good stuff. But this is the Internet; Ms. Dellinger should be pleased her product is getting so much blog play. I am a religous user of Curls/CurlyQ Milkshake (I use them interchangeably). That's it. I use nothing else from the Curls hair line, although I have tried most of the other products. Milkshake is what works for my hair and it works fabulously. The only protest I feel the need to make is TO NOT BUY WHAT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME. It is absolutely the most powerful move a consumer can make. I used Milkshake both before and after the product reformulation and have to say I like the new formula slightly better -- just slightly because the difference is so minimal. I hated Milkshake when I first tried a sample purchased from www.sistasplace.biz. But I picked it up a second time, used it a little differently, and loved it. It is a constant repurchase for me, as is the Body by Curls Vanilla and Brown Sugar frosting. Phew! Talk about drama!!
