Any CO for wavy/curly hair success stories?

I have pretty wonky hair. It's very curly in the back, wavy on the sides and almost straight in the front so I'm concerned that "no-poo" wouldn't work well for me. I've been reading about using conditioner only and wondered what others have found to work for them?

Do you use regular conditioners like suave naturals or something like Aubrey's organics? Do you use some sort of oil or gel to reduce frizz?

Any tips/advice would be appreciated!

Hi~
I have very thick curly hair. I have gone a few years with no poo (just baking soda and diluted acv for rinse) and am now back to shampoo. Either way works fine for me. The thing that makes the difference is what I put in it after the shower. For me, coconut oil works the best. I just put some in my hands, rub until it is melted (it has a very low melting point) and put it in my hair. It keeps the frizz down and makes my hair really soft.

You know, I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but my 2 year old daughter has this exact kind of hair. It's very curly in the back, wavy on the sides, and nearly straight up front. It is fine in texture. And her hair grows practically forward : I do conditioner-only on her. Well, I shampoo her hair with baby shampoo (very diluted) about once every 2 weeks or so if it starts to look greasy, just on top near her scalp. I used a silicone-free conditioner, like aubrey organics and use a daily spray-on conditioner (also -cone free) to detangle her rattiness so that I can comb it-in the morning and at night. Otherwise I only comb it while it is thoroughly soaked with conditioner in the tub. The spray on that I use is either Aubrey Organics White Camellia and Jasmine Shine and Conditioner Spray or a diluted conditioner and water spray. HTH!
