    Your best bet is to search the top performing and/or best-selling products for curly/afro hair and note the ingredients they use.  There is someone on the board, I forget who, unfortunately, who mentioned in the past that they have lots of experience formulating for curly/kinky hair.

    @MarkBroussard errrr…that would be me, dude. Now I am outed! I’ll share with y’all my mentor here. I worked with and for Ali for many years. Nobody knows more about the chemistry. Chicago was once the Silicon Valley of African American haircare industry; not so much any more.

    Thank you, Mark! I already did an analysis of top performing/best selling products! Now I’m running some tests on the lab. It’s been fun 🙂
