Curly Qs: Sweet Deal

Latina.com readers, I read all your comments, muchas gracias. From them, I’ve noticed that price often determines whether or not you will try a hair product. And hey, in these tough economic times, who doesn’t want affordable options to keep curls looking their best? So, Stardust17, EstrellaMartinez, BoriLibra10, NYCDaisy17 and all you fabulous chicas, every few weeks I’m going to highlight budget-friendly products that work wonders on curls. Let's start this week with Sunsilk Captivating Curls Gel & Cream Twist ($3).

It’s a cream and gel hybrid that acts as a leave-in, but gives you extra hold. The white cream is twisted within the green gel in the clear bottle. When you pump, you get the mixed formula—a light milky jelly that smells faintly like green apples. I applied three pumps all over damp hair and my curls were soft and defined all day. I also used it to reactivate my curls the next morning without any crunchy buildup. Most of the gels I’ve used make my curls feel hard and dry, but this mixture is the best of both worlds!
