This product is supposed to be set in and last through 7 washes,so that it keeps the hair from frizzing,even if you dry it naturally. Mine was horrible. It's naturally curly,like yours,and the least bit of humidity ruins it - I live in a ponytail during the summer. Ever tried a keratin product? I've heard good things about it,just not quite ready to buy a 50.00 bottle of shampoo - it is supposed to be kind of a broke persons version of the brazilian treatment.
