Product Review (Lustrasilk Olive Oil Cholesterol, Quantum gel, Giovanni LA Natural gel)
Day 24 of “No Cone” Challenge As a curly girl, when looking for a gel to define & hold your curls, a clear one is preferable; It’s the last product you put into your hair before it dries; and you want your own color to shine through (white or yellow-tinted gel can leave a film on hair &, over time, make it look dull). If the gel feels sticky on your skin, it will feel sticky on your hair. Look for a gel that doesn’t contain alcohol and that has little to no fragrance. It should contain the ingredients PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) and PVP/VA (vinyl acrylate). Both the Quantum & Giovanni LA Natural styling gels do not contain alcohol, and they both contain the PVP ingredients. The Quantum also has Glycerin, Sorbitol & Aloe gel, but the Giovanni LA Natural has many natural ingredients such as: Rosemary Oil, Nettle oil, Thyme Oil, Birch Leaf oil, Chamomile oil, Clary, Lavender, Coltsfoot leaf, Yarrow oil, Mallow, Horsetail oil, Soybean Protein, Vitamin E, & Grapefruit Seed As a curly girl, when looking for a conditioner (preferably a no-cone one), the conditioner should contain Emollients to reduce frizz by smoothing cuticle; Proteins to coat hair & protect it; Humectrants to absorb water & hold in moisture; & Moisturizers to add softness & control curly hair. The Lustrasilk Olive Oil Cholesterol contained all 4 of the absolute necessities in a conditioner. I do have to say that the Lustrasilk Olive Oil Cholesterol left my hair very soft, and the Giovann LA Natural styling gel . . .

It has a small section about African American hair but mainly it’s about general care for curly hair. Talks about not using shampoo, & if ur a person that has 2 use shampoo she explains which sulfates r the harshest & which are less harsh. She talks bout what 2 look for in hair products. She gives scientific breakdown on the hair strand. The Curly Girl Hair Care Styling Program Routine. She gives hair recipes for moisture and such. I think any curly type can gain some knowledge from this book.

You posted this on my Bday. Woot Woot. Go Geminis go Geminis. lol
Let me stop. I loooove Lustrasilk. That stuff is the freakin greatest. Plenty of natural ingredients, slip for days, quenches your hair’s need for moisture, and to top it all off it’s cheap as dirt especially for the amount you get. I love it.

Ok, I’m convince on not leaving the Cholesterol conditioner in my hair. You’re the 3rd person to mention the white balls. Thanks!
