Sure! I'd love to check them out. My hair is very curly and so hard to manage. I was checking out ingredients for 'organic' shampoos and such, to avoid the silicone that seems to be a prevalent ingredient these days. Each of them had ethelyne glycol listed. Ethelyne glycol is ANTIFREEZE. It boggles the mind, how that can be listed as organic.

good grief, i just went and checked my shampoos and they have antifreeze in them, i had no idea.

I know, it's just ridiculous some of the ingredients that are in these products.

If you're looking for something to moisturize your hair Gracey, I've had good luck with Pantene Silky Whip (Moisturizer & Styler). I don't know if you have it there but y'all usually have way more options than we do. It's in a mousse shape bottle, y'know? It makes a big difference, bigger than I had expected.

Alright soooo...

I actually found a wonderful variation of this recipe here:

She explains it better than I do.
The variation I have is the essential oils and I used a slightly different ratio of Flaxseeds (hers turns out a little thicker than mine)

It's actually VERY good because it holds without any horrible ingredients, completely customisable and SOO cheap!

Give it a shot.
