I use Paul Mitchell the conditioner after my weekly wash. I really like that stuff.

During the week, I'll use any water based moisturizer, Herbal Essence, John Frieda, anything on sale at the drug store.

How do you know if a moisturizer is any good?

You'll know when your hair is not dry and it's cool to the touch. When you run your fingers through your hair and it feels good and soft, not too soft but strong and healthy.

I just use whatever conditioner is near me and I seal with a mixture of EVOO and water.

 

[ckisland]

My main moisturizer/ leave-in is whatever SheScentIt conditioner I apply to my hair when I cowash . They make great moisturizers. I also use SSI Jojoba Hair milk and Seyani Butter . On the cheapie side, I really like Cantu Shea Butter, and HE NoneofYourFrizzness was the stuff back in the day

Lately I've been using the following to moisturize:
Homemade Moisture Spritz
(50% Water + 50% Vegetable Glycerin)

NEW Aura Cherry Almond Bark Revitalizing Conditioner
(silicone/petroleum-free, awesome ingredients, creamy, light-melts right in, softening, subtle lovely scent)
http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=161734&catid=10327&trx=CRT-PLST&trxp1=17008&trxp2=161734

Sealing:
Homemade Butter
(50% Unrefined Shea Butter + 50% Virgin Coconut Oil)

** I will soon try out the Alba Leave-In that I've heard so many great things about and compare to the Aura conditioner above...

whatever body lotion im using

it used to be Jergens Shea Butter lotion and my hair LOVED it. i just switched to trader joes mid summer night's cream but it's too early to tell

Yup. My steady is Alba Kukui Nut Body Creams(chock full w/ ceramides), I sometimes cheat and use HE LTR or Mizani Coconut Souffle.

 

[Nayeli]

NTM silk touch (long-time staple) - my hair is saying kick rocks to everything else right now.

 

[drappedup]

Can some of you guys specify the brand instead of using abbreviations? I just 'thread searched' and half of the answers are abbreviated. I'm looking for a new moisturizer. Also, many of the brands fully named, I don't recognize from Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Sally's, etc. Where are ya guys getting these? I prefer not to order online this time. I'm just looking for a new one right now, and I didn't want to start a new thread, so I searched for one instead.......

edit: Nayeli.....wow, your hair! It's gorgeous......that's completely impressive, 2 years....wow.

 

[tropical-punch]

Baba de' Caracoal Frizz Control Nutrition Styling Cream
Jane Carter N&S
KBB Hair Milk or Hair Cream
Frederick Fekkai Glossing Cream.

ETA: Mizani Night-time Intensive Hair Cream

Finished up my Vitale Body & Bounce and Someone very, very Sweet sent me a Tube of Aveda Brilliante Daily Moisturizing Cream. *I will save this for later until I've used up some of the ones that are open.* Thanks Girl!

Have put into definite daily rotation: Jane Carter Nourish Hair Cream, Bee Mine Hair Cream and KBB Hair Milk (depending on how I feel that day).

They are all of them are open, so I will be using those 3 until they're used up.
