As long as the glycerin says 100% pure, you will get the same effects.
For my hair, I am the worst at sticking to products. I rarely use the same thing all the time.
But, I have a spray bottle filled w/ EVOO, glycerin, infusium 23 leave-in and just a touch of water that I spray on my hair whenever I wet it.
For shampoos and conditioners I use:
pantene pro-v relaxed and natural (color treated shampoo and moisturizing conditiong)
pantene pro-v moisture renewel conditioner
matrix curl life intensive conditioner (<3 this stuff)
Matrix color smart shampoo (<3 this stuff as well. super gentle and keeps color from fading)
For styling:
smooth and shine gel (alcohol free and has just the right amount of hold)
garnier fructis curl products (i use the entire line depending on the amount of hold I want/style I'm doing)
I generally scrunch the products in while my hair is still soaking wet. Then I shake to seperate the curls and let it air dry. If it's rushed, I'll blow dry w/ a diffuser. If I want more "clumping" i.e. more ringlet curly instead of s-curl wavy, I will part my hair in horizontal section about 1" think, apply a little product, then brush through the section w/ a paddle brush.
I have used the carols daughter tui line, and I can't say that I'm in love. The shampoo made my hair feel dryer even while in the shower. The conditioner had almost no slip and made detangling my hair a pain in the ass. I had to add some other conditioner to be able to comb through it. It's not like combing you hair about once a week is going to be easy, but I definitely don't need a product that makes it harder. The final result looked nice, but for the price I wouldn't use it again. I do still want to try the hair milk.
