Hello everyone!  I picked up the curly girl book finally and hope to encourage my natural waves. 

I'm hoping for some suggestions for an appropriate conditioner to use to wash the scalp and work into the length.   I've done CO in the past, but always had multiple bottles, one for the scalp, one for the length, and usually another deep conditioner. 

I currently wash with suave clarifying conditioner mixed with a tiny bit of the pantene shampoo I am working through.  I haven't had look transitioning fully to c/o this time and have had to keep using shampoo.  Suggestions for a low poo option would be great too. 

I have looked at the jessicurl and devacurl lines and would like to try them out, but I am hoping to find a cheaper and local brand that I can start with. 

TIA

Hi Sakina--I may just have to bite the bullet and spend the money.  Do you feel like the bottles last a while?  I know the book says to just use 1 tbsp, but in the past when I've done c/o and even now when I mix in a very small amount of shampoo I go through a lot of conditioner.

That is what I was afraid of.  Still eventually I may have to try it.

So far I am using the same conditioner/shampoo I have been (suave daily clarifying with a touch of the pantene shampoo I'm trying to get rid of and a thicker cholesterol conditioner on my ends), and scrunching my hair dry then scrunching in aloe gel and I can already tell a big difference.  I still feel like I'm a big frizz ball, but I'm getting a lot of compliments so I figure something must be working.
