After a rather lengthy diatribe on HOW to choose which cleanser is right for you, here is some food for thought on how NOT to decide which products are right for you......
Other than the " I like it because it smells good" the only statement that makes me feel even more like this:
is..."I saw an ad for it on Naturallycurly.com". No, a thousand times no. While the message boards and reviews are a great way to gain information from people with nothing to gain, think twice before you base your decision solely on a PAID advertisement on naturallycurly. Yes, they are curl friendly and a great source for legitimate information, but they are trying to pay the bills - and the last time I checked they hadn't yet applied for a 501(c)3 - so until they do, remember, message boards are one thing, companies who are PAYING to advertise are quite another. They currently have huge banner ads for Pantene running. Pantene? Really? Pantene SUCKS. Putting them all over nc.com near a Ouidad ad seems to give them some kind of legitimacy, which they definitely do not deserve. Check out their ingredients- .look how similar the ingredient lists are and how different they are from Ouidad's ingredients.
