Hi Mandy J

I am not sure if we will stock this line but I do know it is sold at a salon in London. I have tried the Alma Heavy Cream and found it left my hair heavy and greasy and not moisturised at all. I used it a few times and ended up throwing it out. For your hair type I would highly recommend you try Crown Pride

http://store.britishcurlies.co.uk/products.php?product=Tucuma-Curl-Moisture-Mask
http://store.britishcurlies.co.uk/products.php?product=Cream-Conditioning-Mist
http://store.britishcurlies.co.uk/products.php?product=Avocado-Detangling-Conditioner
http://store.britishcurlies.co.uk/products.php?product=Luscious-Curl-Crème

All very creamy and beautifully conditioning. You may need to add a firm hold gel on top on the Curl Creme but try it first without as it may have enough hold for you as is. Hope this helps

Thanks Keisha Jo, I’ll try some of your suggestions, as I have already ordered Crown Pride and Darcy’s from this site and I luv, luv them and will keep using them.

I’ve finally joined having lurked for a while now, so hello to you all. I’m a bit strange hairwise, I never used to have curly hair, it was straight until I got pregnant with my second, about 8 years ago!
I have been following the advise on here for about 5 months now and it has made a difference, my hair is more curly/wavy and in excellent condition {smug} according to my hairdresser. ;)
As for the type hair, I’m not too sure, sometimes it is wavy, at others, like today it is proper curly, I even have some tighter ringlets around my face. Unfortunately I am now in the throes of re-growth after birth, it is about 1-2 inches long, and will always go fuzzy if possible :0
In general I’d say I have 2b-c but I can end up with the occasional 3a. Perhaps.
I don’t have strong curls though, as they seem to go from the bottom up, therefore can get flattened very easily, and it can look almost straight at the top. If I’m really lucky it will look like I’m growing out a cheap perm.

Anyhoo, hello to you all, I look forward to bending some ears soon!

I should add, the re-growth is 1-2 inches long, my actual hair length is just about below shoulder length, I’m growing it for summer again.
Thank you for the kind welcomes
