I decided to take a break from my natural wave. I blow dried my hair and used a 1.5 inch 
curling iron to curl my hair.The night before I had gone to a baby shower and then to a bar. My hair smelled terrible like smoke and fried food. I shampooed with Herbal Essences Shampoo for Color, Permed, Dry and Damaged Hair to really cleanse my hair. It contains Sodium Lareth Sulfate but, no silicones. I conditioned with Back to Basics Pomegranate Moisturizing Conditioner. Before I blow dried, I used Tresemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Protective Spray, Giovanni Frizz Be Gone, and coconut oil. The Tresemme Spray contains Amodimethicone (slightly soluble silicone). The Giovanni Frizz Be Gone contains Cylomethicone (slightly soluble silicone) and Dimethicone (non-soluble silicone). Even though it contained Dimethicone, I hoped it being an "organic" product, the build up wouldn't be so bad. I like the smoothness and shininess it gave me. I can't really report on the build up yet because I haven't had an opportunity to use it multiple times yet.I believe cutting out the frequent use of harsh sulfate shampoos from my hair routine has helped with the health of my hair. I think it's been about a month, before today, since I used a shampoo that contained Sodium Lareth Sulfate. Before I used CG products and straightened or curled my hair, my hair always looked so dry. It definitely looks a lot shinier than before.
