I just ordered some more Mop Top shampoo and conditioner for curly hair. When my friend Kris dropped off several bottles of shampoo, conditioner, detangler and pomade for me to review I was thrilled but had my doubts I would like it enough to order more. I’m not a product person, and although I’ve tried a few curl-specific products none were standouts.
