Sorry, I've been on hiatus for a little while because a few things have happened. Hey, that's life. The important thing is that I'm back now and I have a great deal of catching up to do. As you guys know, I've been practicing the Curly Girl Method for a little over a month now. At first, I was doing it without gel but I've noticed that my hair lasts longer if I do use gel. Both Kinky Curly Curling Custard 16 oz and the Eco Styler Gel with Argan Oil work on my hair but produce slightly different results.

With the Kinky Curly Curling Custard 16 oz and the Eco Styler Gel, I did my normal Curly Girl Method routine. I co- washed with Suave Naturals Juicy Green Apple Conditioner by Suave, 15 Ounce. I like the Suave Naturals Conditioner better than the Tresemme 24 Hour Body Conditioner which I also use because I feel like it cleans my scalp better. Then, I applied Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative conditioner - 12 oz. and raked the product through my hair from root to tip.  Once it was evenly distributed throughout my hair, I did the same thing with the gels.  I raked the gels evenly through the hair. I did several small sections at a time. The smaller the section the better it looks. After application, I just let the hair air dry.

Kinky Curling Custard Pros:

• A little goes a long way
• Smells good
• Elongates my curls
• Makes my hair feel soft and conditioned

Kinky Curling Custard Cons:

• Too expensive
• Starts to flake after 4 or 5 days

Eco Styler Gel with Argan Oil Pros:

• Very affordable
• A little goes a long way
• Doesn't flake
• Can re-apply to hair without flaking

Eco Styler Gel with Argan Oil Cons:

• Can be very drying
• Horrible shrinkage

Below, I have pictures of the results from using each gel.

You can see the difference in the pictures. I prefer to use Kinky Curly Curling Custard 16 oz because it elongates my curls and makes my hair feel the best. Once I run out of this jar, I don't know if I will purchased another one due to the price. When that time comes, I want to try Shea Moisture Organic Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Soufflé! (gel)because it's only $10.The Kinky Curly Curling Custard 16 oz has won this round. I'm so glad that I've found a way to use that $30 jar.  It doesn't work well with the Knot Today. I don't think that it's moisturizing enough for my hair.  Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative conditioner - 12 oz. seems to be a suitable replacement. There you have it, folks!
