I used Motions Moisture Plus Shampoo/Conditioner for years with no problems.
I tried Nexxus Therrappe/Nexxus Humectress last September and I quickly dumped Motions and haven't looked back!
I still use Motions CPR for my light protein.
My cowash conditioners are mainly Herbal Essences and Garnier.
My daily moisturizer is ORS Carrot Oil. I use NTM as needed.
Oils: Castor oil, EVCO, EVOO, and Hot Six Oil. I switch every once in a while.
I shampoo/dc 2x a week and cowash 2x a week. My hair loves water!
I protective-style (buns mostly) alot, but a week doesn't go by without me wearing my hair down at least once.
I don't use a brush or direct heat.
I self-relax every 14 weeks with Design Essentials Sensitive Scalp relaxer.

It Always Been About Hair!
I love Nexxus products. Especially their moisturizing shampoo. It doesn't leave my hair feeling stripped nor is it drying.

Personally I love Vo5 clarifying conditioner instead of shampoo anymore.
I use Hairveda shampoo to remove build up from gel around my edges and I use the vo5 to gently clean my hair.
It works awesome and when I flat iron my hair Is light and fluffy. Not weighed down

I have been using Aphogee Deep Moisture shampoo for years. That stuff is amazing. I can literally skip conditioner if I wanted to.

I work indoors so my hair really gets "dirty". I only wet my hair when I need to remove excess product and refresh my hair. So maybe every three days in the summer to once a week in the winter. I don't cowash for the sake of cowashing, but I will skip shampoo if I'm just rinsing out excess oil or something like that.

Hello Ladies.
I must say that this site has made me more aware of how I take care of my hair. I've been taking care of my hair un-consciencely. Although I was using good products, giving myself regular trims and dustings, DCs, wet sets 99% of the time, etc., I was leaving it up to the Lord to manage my length and health. I never tracked my relaxer touch-ups, never used essential & carrier oils, never measured my hair (to track growth and to see if what I was doing was working), never used products that would stimulate hair growth and thickness (my hair grows pretty well, so I thought, and it's pretty healthy), etc. I am absolutely amazed at how much I was not aware of. I want to say THANK YOU to all of you all and I hope I can help others as you all have helped me. With that being said, let me tell you all what I did last night. See attached photos of products I used last night and my hair today.
~ I washed my hair with Suave Daily Clarifying Shampoo twice($1.00 at Family Dollar)
~ Applied Megatek (Protein) and left on my hair for 1 1/2 hrs.
~ Applied Dark & Lovely's Moisture Rich conditioner (Moisturizer) (have tons left over from relaxer kits. Sat under the dryer for 20 mins.
~ Did an Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse. Left on my hair for 15 mins.
~ Sprayed on Alphagee ProVitamin leavin-in condition and Fabu-Silk setting lotion (tons left over from relaxer kits.)
~ Used mesh rollers and end papers to wet set my hair. Before this sit, I would use the magnetic rollers and it took 2 hrs & 15 mins to dry my hair. Reading this sit, I discovered mesh rollers and it only takes a little over a hour to dry now. I luv ya soooo much!
~ Once hair hair was dry, I oiled and messaged my scalp with the Jamaican Black castor oil.
~ I then placed a little of the Doo Gro Stimulating Growth Oil and ran it along my hair shaft and ends.
~ Final step was to wrap my hair and tie with my sating wrap cap.
I will resume my MN mixture on Sunday. (I just gave myself a touchup on Mother's Day (Sun, May 13th)
Before finding this site, I would stick to one product line. I now know that I don't have to in order to get good results.
My hair feels and looks FABULOUS today!!!!!!! It doesn't look fabulous to often because I take tae kwon do 6 days a week and my hair is mostly in pony tails.
I hoped I've helped someone with my post, as you all have helped me.
Happy Hair Growing...
