What products do you use or recommend?
Are they CGM approved?
There are a lot of questions pertaining to products and even more opinions on the matter. The official stance here is to educate clients on various options which will be supportive of their natural texture and then encourage them to discover for themselves which is the best fit for their day to day needs. Tom does not recommend clients use any one particular brand nor is he supported by or affiliated with any manufacturer. It is imperative to state that with a supportive, well designed haircut the selection and usage of hair cosmetics is an infinitely easier process and typically provides far greater results.
Tom uses a few different things depending on the client and their individual needs. All of them are 100% Curly Girl Method approved. They are primarily sourced from EverEscents. There are many many brands out there which are also proven to work well and are equally supportive of curls, including some found in your local supermarket.
When it comes to product selection and usage, there is not one approach, application method or ideology that will please everyone equally. Some women desire more curl than they naturally have and others are simply trying to manage frizz in otherwise ringletted hair. Each will have different needs when it comes to products depending on their aesthetic preferences too. Internet forums and Facebook groups are full of users with very strong convictions on their particular preference, method and ritual. Never forget - to each their own and one individuals method doesn't fit all, despite what anyone says otherwise.
