Which version of Infusium 23 is everyone using for Crown & Glory?

[naturalmanenyc]

I already have the African Royale braid spray but did not pick up infusium as recommended for the Crown & Glory technique while in crocheted two strand twists.

I saw a few versions of the Infusium 23 leave in at the BSS today and am curious about which version crown & glory braiders are using?

I saw some grey bottles (repairologie, moisturologie) as well as the white bottles. erplexed

Does it matter that I am almost 100% natural.

Or is there some other protein spray that crown & glory ladies are using?

I use the grey bottle moisturlogie. HTH

 

[naturalmanenyc]

Thank you! I was trying to decide which of the versions to get since I plan to keep my twists in for at least 2 months.

 

[SouthernStunner]

No problem. I am 3 weeks post (I think) I am getting my box braids this friday and i cant wait!

Good luck to you.

I used the originial one in the brown and white bottle

I don't use Infusium because of the cones (I'm natural).

I use CHI Keratin Mist instead, it's a great product. Mane n Tail Hair Strengthening Spray is also good.

Ladies you can find the original formula at Amazon.com

Yes, the cones high up on the list did scare me. That is why I put it down the first time I saw the bottles.

I went with Chi Keratin Mist ($12.99 for 12 oz at Beauty of New York) and also Mane & Tail braid sheen spray since I ran out of BRX braid spray & BoNY was out. The Mane & Tail Hair Strengthener was $5.49 for 6 oz and it has a cone a bit higher up in the list than Chi.

I am not mixing them though, like I did my BRX spray and Avocado protein spray. I plan to use Chi Keratin Mist at night & braid spray in the morning.

I use the grey bottle moisturlogie. HTH

Cosigning on the Moisturologie leave-in. This stuff works well on braids.

The cone in the Mane n Tail Hair Strengthener is a water-soluble cone, and I've found that it really doesn't weigh my hair down or dry it out. These days, I'm actually liking the MnT more than the CHI...it seems more moisturizing. But my CHI Keratin Mist doesn't have any cones--yours does?

The CHI is also available at TJ Maxx for $7.99. They always have boatloads of it every time I go there.

 

[naturalmanenyc]

Darn. I did not even think to try TJ Maxx.

OP thanks for starting this thread,I've always wondered which one everyone was using as well since I've never seen the Original in the BSS.

 

[PPGbubbles]

I use the repair(ologie) infusium when im in braids and that works fine for me.

 

[Zaz]

The infusium you ladies are using, is it a spray or a bottle leave in that you put it in a spray bottle? I've been to 3 different places and can't seem to find a spray leave in.
So far as I understand though, I just need a moisture spray and a protein spray? So if I use my Giovanni Vitapro fusion spray on my twists, would it be ok? TIA.

[Angelicus]

I have yet to see a bottle with a spray top. I've always purchased a mini spray bottle for my Infusium.

Yea. They don't come in spray bottles. Just a little 'spout' at the top. I use the (moisture)ology [sp?] that comes in the gray bottle for the C&G method and I feel like it's working.

Hope that helps
