Ethnic Natural Curls

I have dry hair. Like put a mound of anything you want on it and it will be dry the next day. I also have naturally curly, though extremely frizzy hair that is very prone to breakage, so when I decided to go natural, I couldn't just use anything.

I tried some of everything from the gels in the dollar store to $40 products and the stuff in that blue pump at Walmart... After my hair dried, it looked like I was trying to cosplay a poodle... (Look at my Facebook pictures... especially the Dagorhir (ooh... now that is an article to write about...) or the sailing ones.)

(Ahem, Nene... focus!)

I found 2 products that worked for me: Carol's Daughter's Hair Milk and Aveda's Be Curly.

But which is better?

Carol's Daughter sells Hair Milk at $12 for 4oz and $18 for 8oz both online and at Sephora (Which is now located at a lot of JCPenny's). Be Curly has 2 parts which are to be combined at $18 each.

I like the smells of both and neither leaves my hair feeling dry nor do I look like a poodle by the end of the day.

Technically, I do recommend combining the Carol's Daughter Tui Hair Oil ($8.50 for 2oz and $18 for 8oz) with the Hair Milk, but putting on the Tui at night before bed and rinsing it in the morning before applying the Hair Milk. Technically, so they come out the same price.

And, I do like them equally, but one of them stands out way above the other in one aspect: amount of product. The two Be Curly products are 3.4oz and 6.7oz, each for $18. You can use about the same of the Carol's Daughter products as you do with the Be Curly, so the Carol's Daughter lasts longer. You pay for the salon style.
