Best Moisturizing shampoo: Joico Moisture Recovery
Best Moisturizing conditioner: Joico Moisture Recovery

I purchased the box set Saturday at Trade Secret for 50% off. Sooooooo happy hehe. It's so good it makes me want to ditch all my natural products and try Joico's entire line for all my hair needs. Soooooo wonderful. *goes to caress Joico bottles* And it smells niiiiiiiiiiice. Also it's early to tell (just washed last night and baggied with it - hate it ugh but I needed it if I wasn't going to sit under the hooded drier) and I think it may have ended my breakage that was half protein and half splicing from some velcro rollers (too much tension, not enough hair elasticity --> velcro cutting into my poor strands and creating breakage spots). The breakage had alllllllmost stopped, but not quite. Afraid I will need an early trim. Meh.

Best whatever treatment: cuticles, pH, hair stops sticking together, plus it just makes my hair feel light and my scalp feels like it can breathe: ACV rinse.
