I am one of the people that use quite a few, right now I am at 4, relaxed head.
I apply my leave-ins by the sections I roller set in
1. Lily of the dessert Aloe Vera gel
2. Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea
3. It's a 10 miracle leave in
4. Neutrogena Triple Moisture
I use 2-3 products after I get out of the shower from washing my hair... a liquid scalp and hair leave in spray, a creamy leave in (mixed silk or knot today) and then oil, either grapeseed or avacado currently. Then I style it either in flat twist or braids and put on my lacefront.
I put ecostyler on each section/strand -- the one with Argan oil in it. Then I let it air dry. That's it! It's much longer now than it is in my avatar. Here's a pic of me and the Hubby from New Years 2011. I don't know if you can see the length against his dark shirt. It takes all day to dry cause it's really thick and dense!
I use about 2-3 products on my hair....a leave in and a gel....sometimes i put an oil over my leave in before gel.
It's either Mixed Silk leave-in under EcoStyler Argan, or Oyin Hair Dew under EcoStyler...Can be Suave Natural under EcoStyler....i was doing whatever i was co-washing with under the Roots of Nature curl cream...i liked how it felt but i hated how the product left my neck all sticky when it dried...and then i hated the buildup too, but the curls were very soft
My oils are usually castor or coconut oil...sometimes sweet almond oil.
I tend to use more than most. Always use these 4 items after each wash/dc:
1. protein leave-in
2. moisture leave-in
3. growth aid to scalp
4. oil to seal hair/ends
Then, depending on style, I add 1 more item:
flat-iron and/or blow dry: I add a thermal protectant
rollerset: I add my KeraCare foam wrap set lotion
twists/bantu knot set: I add Bee mine curly butter
kinky twists/corn rows: I add braid sheen spray
I did a BC on 12/26 due to a setback....since then I co-wash w/water every other day.
After my shower, I massage in hair tonic, followed by my homemade herbal oil and sealed in w/a heaping tsp. of raw honey or banana/honey mixture. I leave this in for 48 hours.
Are we talking after you wash and condition or after you wash (so including rinse-out conditioner with leave-in's etc...)? If you include the conditioner in "after" 2 - 3. If you mean after you wash and condition, 1 - 2, usually a leave-in conditioner and a styler (but sometimes just a leave-in)
Usually two - Shescentit Coco Creme Leave-In and Hairveda Cocasta Shikakai oil for the ends. Sometimes I'll use some Donna Marie Super Buttercreme if I've done a protein dc.
a moisturizer and then a sealant and depending on the style sometime a little eco style gel for hold like if I am doing a braid out or twist out but other than that just two products
if I'm not going out then I'll use Shea Moisture Curl Smoothie and a little of the Shea Moisture Elixir oil. If I'm going somewhere and I want it to feel a little softer I'll use UBH Satin Moisturizing Creme.
