Older curlies and question


Hey all real quick while I'm on break! Just want to show youy hair a few days after bentonite cleanse. Usually I'd have to rebraid at night but was super tired and thought I'd just fro it out but I got this instead....
Softer curl but still some definition...sorry my phone camera is horrible...
Horrible camera...little curls...
closer look at wave from braid and grey hair...no :(!!

Now for my question. What styling products do you all use? I'm thinking I might get better definition if I actually used products for styling purposes. I don't currently, but wonder what won't dry my hair or make it free like a brillo pad? Do you all use curling puddings to style, butters, gels/custards? Is there something you aren't daring enough to try and would like me to do a product review for you? I have some Uncle Funky's Daughter Extra Butter but I don't like it, it actually straightens my hair, no bueno! Thanks, next will be some kind of product review of a water-based moisturizer and/or styling product so let me know what you use!

Experimentation station

Ok so this weekend I tried a bentonite clay detox for my hair and face. Let me just say I am impressed but more impressed to try it again with better results. It did an excellent job purifying my face and I loved it. I also like that my curls were more defined after I applied it to my hair. I think I should have used a little more maybe? Maybe a leave in conditioner or curling product to maintain the curls? I don't know I'm looking forward to experimenting. I used Aztec brand bentonite clay from Sprouts, water, apple cider vinegar and coconut milk for moisture. I followed by deep conditioning with VO5 conditioner, with added oils (coconut, olive,castor, jojoba) and a dash of coconut milk. I detangled some in the shower but was afraid I'd lose the curls I saw when I first took the clay out. I did lose those pretty tiny ringlets anyway :( maybe I should have used a leave-in? I don't know but here's me with a braid out before and after the treatment. I wouldn't say it was a failure but I wouldn't say I totally succeeded either. Now to find a product that reduces frizz!!
                                Before the treatment and after being out in the heat a little bit.
                       After the treatment...I can see some more definition but that darn frizz is killing me.
