The following UG products contain chemicals not recommended when following the Curly Gurl Method and should, therefore, be avoided at all times: Is Umberto Giannini Curly Girl friendly? The short answer is that only some are. They do have products that are non-sulfate, silicone, and alcohol-free, but not all of them are. Note: Newer versions of this product contain paraben. Although parabens do not affect your curls, some Curly Girls chose not to use products containing parabens due to health concerns. I recommend you do your own research. I scrunch my curls upside down with a big handful of mousse and then I follow up with a gel and then plop for 5-10 minutes before diffusing.
Secondly, I use the mousse to de-frizz my curls once my hair is 100% dry. I find this adds lots of definition and more bounce.Curl Jelly Mask: Aqua, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Behentrimonium Chloride, Cetrimonium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Cocos Nucifera Oil, Parfum, Polyquaternium-37, Saccharide Isomerate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Citric Acid, Quaternium-80, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polyquaternium-11, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, CI 17200, CI 19140
