Kinky Curly Curling Custard

I like this styling product but I can't say that I love it. I normally wear my natural 3c hair straight but sometime, specifically in the summer, it's just better for me to go curly. My issue with my hair is while I do like my curl pattern I have such THICK hair, it's not even funny. I have very long hair, down to just about my butt, but that's not the problem...Whenever I go curly my hair looks great for the first hour, after that, my hair starts to grow wider and wider until my hair is literally huge. And on top of that, my hair shrinks up to my shoulders. I have been on the hunt for YEARS to find something that would stop the outward growth and the upward shrinkage. I bought this stuff about a year ago and I like it. It definitely defines my curls and makes them less frizzy but it does verrryyy little when it comes to poofiness and shrinkage. Now I can't expect miracles, but I do hope for them. I normally wash my hair at night. Apply the KCCC and put it in a pineapple then cover it with a plastic shower cap on and then a silk night cap. It the morning I let down, PERFECT, still wet curls that are highly defined and shiny...about 1.5 hours later, I'm a complete triangle head again. But...what can ya do right? I purchased this at Whole Foods for like $30 which I thought was way too much but my mother also bought a jar and didn't care for it so she gave it to me so I guess I'm heald over for a while. Still searching for my miracle in a bottle. Desireesbeautyblog.Blogpot.com
