We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

Of course a shampoo is not going to alter the curl pattern of your hair but it is going to help eliminate some of the issues that prevent your hair from looking desirable, like eliminating frizz or adding moisture to prevent split ends. I work at an exclusive Bumble and Bumble salon and am very familiar with the product line. These types of products are meant to be used together not individually. Each one plays a different role. Such as the shampoo removes build up and prepares the hair for other products. The conditioner provides moisture and deposits important agents. The curl activating cream, I would say, is the most important product for achieving that naturally curly look because it's what actually contains all of the agents that will form your curl and set it while your hair dries. Followed by the holding foam which provides a little more hold while still working to maintain than curl. The curl reactivating mist is designed to reactivate the ingredients throughout the day or when you wake up the next day and don't want to wash your hair. Simply spray the reactivating mist, scrunch and go. Transglutaminase is an ingredient used in bonding meats. In these products it is used to act as a protein filler to fill in the cuticle that is lifted where the hair bends naturally. This ingredient has nothing to do with forming curls in the hair. It's sole purpose is to fill in the cuticle to create a smooth curl rather than a frizzy, dry, unruly curl. If your looking for control in your hair, a simple shampoo is not going to be a solution. Keep in mind, shampoos are designed to lift out unwanted things from your hair(dirt, oil, product build up, chlorine, medications, etc). Conditioners are designed to deposit ingredients(moisture, protein, vitamins, silicone). Styling products are the most important for changing the pattern of curl either from straight or curly. They fill in the cuticle and help to create the desired look while the hair dries. For best results use the entire curl line together. Each product plays a different role in achieving the look you want. As a professional hair stylist I hear these types of questions and concerns regularly.

I honestly could see the difference (it relaxed my curl pattern) during the first use! I will continue to test it though as, my curls become less and less defined after each use . That might not be a bad thing for some, but I happen to love my curly hair. For the moment, I am enjoying how this product help to tame my natural curl. By the way, I am African American and have a few different types of curl textures. I have used the BB Curl Conscious shampoo for a weeks and love it.

My stylist put some of the brand's Curl Conscious products in my straight hair and "curled" it by scrunching it with her hands as she dried it. Does the addition of TG make these products more effective than others for forcing and keeping straight hair in a curled shape?
