3c's relaxed and natural...

[MissMasala5]

What do you use for your daily hair moisturizer?

 

[MissMasala5]

Anyone? Bumpin' for freshness

 

[Songbirdb]

I'm relaxed and right now I'm using mango butter and its good, but I'm sure there's better out there. I haven't quite found something yet, but I'm still looking.

 

[MissMasala5]

Songbird, is your mango butter 100% or is it a commercial blend?

 

[Cleve_gryl]

I'm relaxed and I use NTM Silk Touch on dry hair when I wear it straight. I also use Mango Butter (Elasta QP) but only when I wear hair curly. Its too heavy and weighs down my straight hair.

 

[bella gee]

i use a product called Shea Moisture Leave-In--its a very thick,rich, creamy and VERY moisturizing

Thanks! I have looked at both of these in stores. The ones I frequent don't seem to be able to keep the EQP mango butter on their shelves, LOL. When I did finally find it, I picked it up then put it back. Thanks for letting me know about the heaviness. I got the same result with S-curl w/straight hair, but it's ok for curly. I'm gonna take another look at the NTM-ST.

Im transitioning and I love the Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner... that helps in the long run... also NTM silk leave in... but only on my straight hair.... but my curly hair will suck that up... so if anyone knows a good moisturizer that is good for transitioning hair... Please let me know

 

[Songbirdb]

Songbird, is your mango butter 100% or is it a commercial blend?

its the elasta qp mango butter, so its commercial. I'm looking to try some 100% natural alternatives though.

 

[Empress Yahudah]

I like
NTM Silk Touch leave-in
Elasta QP Intense conditioner

I always add alittle of my fav oils with either of them mixed in my hand and apply it as a hairdress

 

[good2uuuu]

Coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

Which formula of VICL? Also, do you mix it together with the Fantasia IC Hair Polisher?

 

[stargazer613]

I'm a 3C natural.....I use Karen's Body Beautiful Hair Milk or Qhemet's Burdock Root Cream, sealed with jojoba oil.

 

[Vshanell]

For straight hair I'm still using Qhemet Heavy Cream, after I use that up I don't know what I'll use.

For natural styles I use s-curl or Vaseline Intensive Care lotion.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

I use the Total Moisture and no, I don't mix it together. I use the lotion first, then I put on the polisher.

Hi stargazer,

Is the Hair Milk thin or thick?

 

[stargazer613]

Hi stargazer,

Is the Hair Milk thin or thick?

Hi Nice & Wavy

The Hair Milk is sorta in-between: it's not too runny but it's not super thick either. Very nice ingredients like silk, panthenol and jojoba oil. Karen has sample sizes, too. HTH

 

[MissMasala5]

I use the Total Moisture and no, I don't mix it together. I use the lotion first, then I put on the polisher.

Thanks! I'm feelin' your siggy, I don't do winters so well

 

[tetbelle]

When I was relaxed I used ORS Olive oil and NTM silk touch leave in

Natural hair I use- Giovanni direct leave in and coconut oil

 

[tetbelle]

I use the Total Moisture and no, I don't mix it together. I use the lotion first, then I put on the polisher.

Do you use the VICL on dry hair or wet. I tried it once on dry hair and my hair was like what the heck...maybe I need to get the technique down...

 

[SouthernTease]

I'm transitioning...
and though I'm not into hair typing
my hair is mostly what would be described as 3c

I've used

ORS in a jar - hate it b/c of mineral oil

Salerm21- it was aiight

Lacio Lacio - it was aiight

Hamadi Shea Leave In - I like the way it smells...it's a bit pricey $20 for a 4 oz jar... best one I had so far... but I think I may find something better

... I hear really great things about Giovanni Direct Leave In

 

[tarheelgurl]

I'm 3 something and I'm relaxed and I use humectress mixed with coconut oil. Meh, I am still looking for a good moisturizer.

 

[MissMasala5]

I tried Giovanni Direct Leave-In and absolutely LOVE the way it makes my hair feel! And the glossy shine without heaviness is wonderful, too. I also bought NTM. Haven't used it yet. Will test that one out after my next poo bar wash. Thanks again to everyone and their suggestions!

 

[tetbelle]

I just started using Cantu Shea butter leave in can I say oh my god! This stuff is the bomb and has good stuff in it too. You can get it at Walmart, kmart riteaid and your local BSS.
