Do you still M&S or just Moisturize? If so, what's working for you?

I have a few things I'm bouncing between that are alright but nothing I'm in love with. I'm using:

Moisturizer
  • S-curl, Care Free Curl, or BRX Braid Spray if I don't mind frizz/poofy.
  • ORS HaiRepair, Aphogee Curlific Moisture Rich Leave-in, Neutrogena Triple Moisture
Seal
  • Blue Magic/Vaseline, Macadamia Oil (love all of these but haven't found a moisturizer to pair them with. Still experimenting.)
 
I don't M&S as often as I used to. Once a days is good enough now. Product I use are:

L = Annabelle's Leave in or Annabelle's Refresher or Naturelle Grows Lilly Rose & Ginger (moisture)
O = Annabelle's Infused Oils or Marie Deans Argan (seal)
C = Annabelle's Cream or Hair Butter (seal again)
 
My relaxed hair is fine, with medium density. I cannot m/s the traditional way because I'll have stiff, weighed down hair.

I will spritz my hair during the day with plain water. At night before wrapping it up, I will spritz with aloe vera juice. There are times when I will seal, so I use a very light product...

Elasta QP mango leave-in spray
Elasta QP mango leave-in cream

Yup I still M&S. I almost always seal w oil after moisturizing. I do it 6-7 days per week, once per day.

For moisture:
Water rinsing or cowashing
Spray bottle with 90% water + 1-2 squirts of condish + oil on off days

For sealing:
Hair oil ceramide mix (EVOO+Grapeseed+Safflower+orange oil for scent)
Bhringaraj/Amla oil
Vatica oil (coconut based)

Not daily/ 2-3 times a week at the most. Plus I wash my hair twice a week.
I had no idea EQP made a leave-in spray and cream. I'm only familiar with the butter from back in the day! I'll have to find it.
 
I still M&S but not daily. I usually do it every 2 days or so.

Right now using:
Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer
Moroccan Oil Treatment (to seal)
Bamboo Growth Oil (on scalp only. Absolutely LOVE it)
 
I have too many to count but I generally like to use a medium to fairly thick Moisturizer sealed in with either a hair butter or oil. I use:

APB refresher spray with Bask & Bloom Nourishing Amazon Butter to seal
Bekura Tonga Mousse with any oil to seal, but mostly evoo because it's a little thick
NG leave-ins - the sweet Plantain and Hibiscus & Honey leave-ins so far are my favorites followed by an oil sealant or heavy butter.

There are many more but this is just a few to start with.
 
I use neutrogena triple moisture and seal with a mixture of jojoba, grapeseed and JMCO every other day.

I do it daily when I have my hair out.
 
Been away fom the forum for a while. Glad to see there is still room for those who relax. Anyway Hydratherma naturals is my favorite. Shea moisture transition creme when i'm 8 + wks post. seal with carol daughter mimosa honey.
 
Im relaxed, 4a high porosity. I prefer moisturizers on the heavy side. I enjoy heavier oils as well but not butters.

My version of LOC is liquid, leave in, oil, cream

Liquid: rosewater
Leave ins: keracare leave in, salerm 21, Redken all soft heavy cream
oils: Castor, rice bran, evoo, hempseed, sweet almond

Cream: Keracare creme hairdress
 
I moisturize with Hawaiian silky 14-1
Seal with I do seal with coconut oil muxture (rosemary,almond oil,lavender). I only M&S doing winter months when I protective style during stretching!
 
I got this detangling spray by cantu. I didn't feel like driving to CVS, so I went to Walgreens. I wanted the Triple Moisture leave-in. But im about to wash my hair again and needed something.
