What are your cant-live-without hair products?

[jennboo]

I think i may have found my holy grail combination of hair products:

Water+Glycerin spray
Shea butter

(I know, I'm late)

But i was a skeptic. None of the products i tried made my hair soft to the touch. My hair may have apppeared soft because of the puffiness/cottony look, but it wasn't. I still have not found a shampoo that is exactly what i want. In terms of conditioners, r&n hair mask is in the lead with lekair cholesterol a close second.

But as a leave-in and general hair dress, that water and glycerin spray mixture sealed with shea butter is divine and leaves my hair soft and moisturized-feeling for days. Definitely a keeper. I believe my leave-in search has ended. Extra cool that these products are natural and cheap.

What are your can't-live-without-hair products? Those that yield consistently good results.

EVO, coconut oil, and shea butter. I mix it with water (rose petal scented is my fav) and add about 1 teaspoon of ACV. These are the main ingredients in my leave-in.

Coconut oil. It's the only product I've been using consistently for over a year. There are other things I love, but they haven't stood the test of time yet. But coconut oil is great for everything: prepoo, detangler, leave-in. And for conditioner, coconut cream is amazing. Basically, I love all things from coconuts.

[ladytea]

the water/glycerin/condish/oils blend is all that!
garnier fructis moisture works condish & poo (use condish as leave in too)
ORS aloe shampoo (occasionally to clarify)
deity america protein treatment (moisture and protein - go figure)
shea butter (I bow down)
coconut, castor oils (use other oils too but these are staples)
I'm getting sweet on mane n tail as the first rinse out condish

sounds like a reggie, but my staples are set. I do what my hair tells me.

Pre-Poo: any Oil I can get my hands on usually EVOO (for detangling slip)

Shampoo: Trader Joe's NourishSpa

Conditioner: Trader Joe's NourishSpa, Aussie Moist

Deep Conditioner:

• LeKair Shea Butter Cholesterol <--Godsend esp with heat
• Egg/Mayo/EVOO for Strength & Moisture
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil Hot Oil Treatment
• 1 Whole Over Ripe Avocado with EVOO
• 2 Garlic cloves, Egg, Mayo, 1-2 Tablespoon EVOO for reduced Shedding & Strength

Products for Moisturizing & Sealing:

If I did a natural air-dry style:
- Moisturize with Aloe, seal with Unrefined African Shea Butter, or EVOO, or BB Growth Oil
- Jut Apply Shea Butter/ EVOO alone​

When my hair is Straightened:
- Coconut Oil 1-2 Times a day <--- AMAZING so light and so moisturizing, also gives BLINGIN Shine to your hair
- Or a tiny bit of BB growth Oil to my ends​

Products for Straightening:
- IC Fantasia Aloe Moisture Liquid Leave-in
IC Fantasia Pink Bottle Heat Protectant Serum and Spray (The Spray is the TRUTH for Flat ironing it really gives you the light airy Dominican Blow-out effect)

Products for Rod-Setting/Straw Setting/ Comb Coils:
IC Fantasia Gel White for stronger hold/ Green for Medium Hold

Products for Twists/Braid-Outs:
- Organic Root Stimulator Lock and Twist Gel (I usually mix it with some Shea Butter)
- My moms mixture of Shea Butter, EVOO, EVCO & Rose Oil

Products for an Afro:
I've heard great things about ORS Olive Cream Hair Moisturizer and its doing great on my natural homegirl's hair so I'll be trying that soon

I used Sunsilk Captivating Curls and it was pretty good however I'll be sticking to hommade shea mixtures and I'm really hoping that ORS Olive cream works for me

So yea.....I can't live without any of these lmao!

In my defense, I just wanna say that there are alot of repeated products here *cough*

[Princess Tam Tam]

Nu Ade Super Hair Oil- LOVE IT! The smell is delicious to me.


The loctician in my building gave me a free sample 4oz bottle 2yrs ago. I was hooked since day one. It's the only hair product I haven't changed in my regimen. The funny thing is it has lasted so long because the oil was super thick that I had to add coconut oil to make it easier to apply to my hair.
