Anyone not moisterize daily?

[dicapr]

I have been moisterizing daily for the past few months. My hair feels soft right after I add conditioner and/or hair lotion but feels coated and dry later on in the day. I am thinking of only moisturizing twice a week when I wash. My hair normally feels moisturized after I massage my scalp and I think I will do this daily instead of adding leave ins and hair lotions. Any one else had success with this method?

How do you wear your hair?

I moisturize twice a day (normally). A water based leave-in at night (Profective Breakfree) and non-water based one (Profective Long and Healthy)***. They seem to balance each other out- for my hair- and it never feels coated. Or better yet, when it does, it is time to wash again.

***ETA: the non-water based one is for the mornings.

I normally wear my hair up in some type of claw clip. I do not have a problem with dryness when I CW daily, but I am tired of running around with a wet head.

What kind of moisturizer are you using? Do you think it is too heavy?? I had this problem until I made my own spray moisturizer using 2 of my fav moisturizing condishes and some oil. Works out properly!

I don't know. I just spray on some store bought products that say for daily moisture. The leave ins I am currently using are Aphogee daily leave in and Dove daily moisturizer. The lotion I use daily is Silk Elements Restore and Revive oil moisturizer. I don't use all of them daily. Usually I just spray the conditioners on my hair when I style it in the morning and at night before I go to bed. I've tried oils, but all I end up with is oil hair that is still dry as a bone.

i have that problem when i moisturize with a product that contains heavy mineral oil. try using EQP rcovery oil moisturizer. u can add a dab of oil to it depending on how much oil u need. i also like the UBH moisturizing products...

I so agree with you on the UBH moisturizer. I was using a pink oil type lotion with castor oil, no mineral oil or petralatum( i checked!) that seemed to be so moisturized. However as the day went on it became hard and dry . Tried the UBH moisturizer which has oil in it and water too and it not only works but my hair stays soft. Perfect!

I now moisturze twice daily. In the morning with something light like the Fantasia leave in and the at night I moisturize with that and add some vaseline to the ends.

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

It depends on how I'm wearing my hair. If I've done the wet set and am wearing my hair in tight kink curls I will moisturize everyday. If I'm wearing my hair straight/ceramiced I will moisturize every 2-3 days.

i don't moisturize daily but i do add two leavein's into my hair until the next wash. they are emough to do the job. i don't use direct heat though. i either air dry or use the bonnet dryer and dry in a wrap style. i'll wear in a pin up, ponytail or just down. either way, no or minimal heat is applied. if so i think it would require more moisture to be added.

I just started moisturizing daily, because in the past I could get by with only moisturizing after a wash. Now that I'm transitioning, and washing less frequently, as well as wearing more "textured" styles I need to moisturize more, or at least use some oil.

 

[joyous]

I never moisturize. I just wash and condition my hair once weekly and its fine until the next wash.

 

[Blackbird77]

I usually moisturize daily if my hair has not been flat-ironed. Right now, it's straight so I moisturize with olive oil (just the ends, though). I find that since I've Maxiglided it straight and use no oil, I don't have a problem with hair coming out when I run my fingers through my hair. I'm not one to wear my hair straight, though so I don't know about this being a long-term thing.

same here... but my moisturizer is just water and i sometimes apply grease before i airdry as well and maybe apply grease to my hair some days during the week...

I haven't always... primarily due to laziness. But now I try to moisturize atleast once a day. I've noticed alot less shedding. Right now I use NTM moisturizing mousse and leave in, then stay-sof-fro (that ain't no joke!) on my ends, then a light oil, then I put it up. When I take it down, there's alot less shedding (a few hairs) as opposed to the handful here and there (ok maybe a quarters worth) when I was lax about my haircare.

fyi, drinking lots of water helped me too.

I really don't moisturize. Don't look at me funny like that.

Since I co-wash daily, i feel like that is when I am moisturizing. When I wear my hair down though, I honestly don't put anything on it everyday. If I see some dullness, i just wash it again (i loveeee washing my hair with delicious smelling conditioners)!

 

[Candy_C]

it seems that moisturizing isn't really nessessary... i had to be forced not to moisturize daily...after 2 days my hair looks after itself.
