What products do you use or recommend?
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 support their natural texture and haircut. With that knowledge, a client will be well positioned to try a couple different things and discover for themselves which is the best fit for their day to day needs. It is imperative to state that with a supportive, well designed haircut the selection and usage of a product is an infinitely easier process.
When it comes to product selection or ingredients, there is not one approach 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 preferences, method and ritual. Never forget - to each their own and one method doesn't fit all, despite what anyone says otherwise.
Tom uses a few different things depending on the client and their individual needs. Most of the products are sulphate and silicone free but a couple are not. They have each been chosen primarily for their performance and natural fragrance more than ingredients. They are made by Aveda and EverEscents. There are many many other brands which are also proven to work with curls including some found in your local supermarket. The blog has more information on this topic. Too, there's an enthusiastic (sometimes too much) online community which has undoubtedly been helpful to many.
