Hi all has anyone used the MC products and if so what were your results. I’ve used the leave-in and my hair looks great for the day but the next morning my hair is brittle and dry. Any suggestions on how to fix this.

My mum is a type 3 and experienced the same problem you did. Nice defined curls but also dry, brittle hair. I think the products are just naturally drying. She got better results with a a moisturising product combined with Elasta QP gel.

I have tried the whole range on a whim - didn’t like the conditioner or the leave-in (especially the later - horrible smell!). I liked the shampoo, though, as it’s pretty gentle for a sulfate (my hair hates lo-poos). I keep it around for monthly cleansing.
