Defined Curls with As I Am Curling Jelly + Shea Moisture Curling Souffle

I got wonderful results when I used these two products together. First I put my hair in four sections, then I cowashed my hair with the As I Am Coconut Cowash and finger detangled in the shower. I conditioned my hair with Suave Naturals. I rinsed my hair and twisted it into four sections while under the flow of the water.

I applied/worked through each section with my fingers (in this order):

As I Am Leave-In Conditioner, Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner, Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk, oil mixture (jojoba, olive, castor, aloe vera juice, sweet almond, sunflower, avocado) (added to mix in order of expense).

All products were added while my hair was in 4 sections.
Lastly I applied (sectioning each section even further as I applied the following products) the Shea Moisture Curling Souffle (a good amount to saturate and moisturize the hair) and then lastly the As I Am Curling Jelly. 

Each time I raked my fingers through my hair until I had achieved the desired curl definition. I let my hair air dry.
I love "shingling" my hair, it's fast, it's easy, it lasts and it doesn't put as much stress or manipulation on my hair as twist outs.   




That little should is my son, he is likes to run around in a pampie and socks.

Updates: Products and Hair Growth

Below are pictures of some new products I've started using and my hair growth. This past weekend I used As I Am Curling Jelly with Kinky Curly Curling Jelly and I got stellar results that lasted from Sunday to Sunday! I got all of the products below from Sally's except the Shea Butter Cocunut Cream (the first one) that I got from Walmart.

This stuff has awesome slip, it is really thin and it smells delicious.

This is the container of the above product, this has an awesome hold and defines really well and only costs about $6 a jar at Sally's and most of the ingredients are natural. Some shrinkage.



A little pricey, defines really well, elongates curls, soft hold, can leave a white residue that shows up after a few days.

This is the consistency of the above product. Smells good. This As I Am Curling Jelly works really well in conjunction with Kinky Curly's Curling Custard.




My hair is really growing!


Really defined coils!

Smells good and is a nice conditioner. Not good for defining curls.

Works well for smoothing edges.

I use this as a moisturizer on top of my leave in conditioner after I wash my hair.

This did not work well for me so I did not buy anymore.


I've used this for coils. It works well.

I love this for cowashing, my hair feels really smooth and conditioned when I'm done.

This did not work well for me, I won't buy anymore.

This works really well for clarifying!

I love this, smells great and works well. Lathers too!

I still like my Suave conditioners for cowashing like in the middle of the week or conditioning during  a normal wash.
