...On dry hair?

I'd like to spritz on my dry hair during the week, but I'm natural and not sure if doing so will cause reversion.

Anyone do this?

I just bought some of this yesterday. I'd like to know too.

Hey, I'm relaxed and I usually only spritz this right after washing my hair while its still wet, or more recently, on my roots prior to relaxing, but I find putting it on dry hair for the heck of it is drying and leads to breakage. Even prior to relaxing, it was a bit of a chore to part through my roots to put protectant on my scalp. HTH

I do not use it on dry hair, only on wet hair prior to flat ironing

My opinion is that if you are natural and used it before pressing/flat iron you dont need to use it again on dry hair since it is protein and you already are natural

ITA. I'm transitioning and have not had any for a while but I LOVE IT!

Thanks ladies. I think I forgot that this is a protein treatment. SAVED!

Okay on another note... does anyone know of a great moisturizing spray that I can use on a daily basis? Dang, maybe I need to start a thread for that.

Since you're natural, if you put anything wet on your hair while it's straight it will revert.

Now if you want a spray moisturizer for other purposes, I love oyin juices & berries. But that's only if you don't mind buying stuff online. Otherwise, as a spray moisturizer I use really diluted AO White Camellia.

msa, you've been my online stylist lately. thanks!
okay, oyin...sounds good and sounds like it will revert my hair. maybe I need a moisturizing cream or serum.

Right now I rub JC Nourish and Shine on my ends. Sometimes I use Mizani H2O.

Yup, anything with water as an ingredient or ingredients with a high water content will revert your hair. Though, maybe it'll be fine if you only use a bit and then wrap your hair up right afterward. But I can't vouch for that, as I haven't worn my hair straight in years. I just know to stay away from water at all costs.

i prefer water based moisturizers too. I use a light spritz at night before i wrap my hair, and it doesnt cause reversion. my fave was the UBH Dew but it was too expensive to buy again. don't get the elasta QP spray because it caused my hair to break at the ends, and its like my ends stuck together kinda. right now i am using the Nexxus spray, i like it alot. next i want to try the CHI Keratin mist. and eventually i want to make my own with just alil bit of coconut oil, aloe vera, glycerin, and distilled water.

I must speak on this! I've been relaxed since June and did wash n goes up until 2 weeks ago. NOT used to caring for relaxed hair as I'd been natural from 2004 till this year. I wasn't very pleased with how my hair was looking (no shine, brittle & overprocessed - which I am). I wasn't happy with my rollersets & flat irons are OUT of the question for me- I HATE that burnt hair smell. After reading the recent Aphogee Keratin Green Tea thread where a pretty lady posted her pix, I realized I NEED protein (lots of hairs in sink etc). Went to Sally & got this, the Aphogee 2 min keratin reconstrucor, Motions CPR protein condish & Motion CPR reconstructor. Also b4 I bought those I used Aubrey GPB. I did a henna the other night overnight (with indigo also added to just my gray patch). I noticed an immediate difference after the GPB. The other night I did a rollerset & b4 rolling I applied the keratin green tea (A LOT) with a Fermodyl 619 ampule plus some Darcys leave in, rolled it up & sat under dryer. I LOVE my result!!! I KNOW this keratin green tea has turned my hair around. I sprayed it all over AND on each piece as I rolled it. I can't wait till next week to try the 2 min keratin reconstructor. I never would have known how important protein is to relaxed hair were it not for you pretty ladies!!!! I reallllly like this Aphogee spray! Used no setting foam because I figured this spray would serve as setting foam... It certainly did. Very few broken hairs (if any), shine, STRONG feeling yet light & airy & bouncey. & yes the curl holding power is awesome also MUCH less frizz using this!!

Gotta add to this. On Wed night I did my roller set using a very generous amount of this stuff. I had surgery on Thurs 10/8 and have been laid up with a silk scarf ever since. My hair is still NICE!!!! Soft and strong feeling, not frizzy at all and still has a nice curl to it from the rollers. This stuff is a KEEPER for my relaxed head.

Yeah I did a roller set right before surgery cuz I wanted nice hair~ (and did my toenails and had my eyebrows done lolll)! All the nurses kept saying 'your hair is beautiful!'. Hey, gotta be Diva even when cut up right?!

I put it on my dry relaxed hair, add a little leave in conditioner and seal for the night. I love it! It's awesome!
