Was there a particular brand that had all these ingredients?

 

[Adaoba2012]

It probably just keeps the hair moisturized and strong...I know nettle is really good for thickening hair

 

[Miss AJ]

interesting...bumping for you.

 

[QBOE2001]

bumping for you

 

[Miss AJ]

do any braid spray users feel like posting ingredients? if not i'll do some googling as soon as i get on my desktop computer.

African pride braid spray has a lot of ingredients that are traditionally used as hair growth stimulants; cannabium, nettle, rosemary etc. That's probably the reason why I usually experience faster growth in braids.

 

[Miss AJ]

off topic: austro-afrikana i absolutely ADORE your siggy!

I know a lot of braid sprays have the "extract," and then I remember someone saying extracts aren't really effective? I guess you need the full root/oil/etc. ?

 

[julzinha]

I feel they do more for my actual hair than for growth, they are amazing for retention!

The moisturizer i use have those ingredients..its a braid spray/moisturizer called taaliah waajid moisturizer spray. It works wonders. I buy the salon size for 20. add water to it and it stretches so well.
Pure Distilled Water, Wheat germ oil, indian hemp, olive oil, balsam, aloe vera, bee pollen, silk protein, bay laurel, fruit biofalvonoids, anicent african herbal formula

Braid sprays are really sticky.I go through them so fast so my wallet can't handle it.

I have fantasia braid sheen spray. SOME of the ingredients include: water, coltsfoot extract, yarrow extract Rosemary extract, sage extract, nette extract, birch leaf extract, birch sap, hortail extract, calcium, vitamin b complex and sulfer.

Do you think its okay to use braids spray on the hair daily even without being in braids??

I dont know about the growth part but I would like to use it as a daily moisturizer.

What do you ladies think?

^^ I don't see there being any problem in using braid spray as a moisturizer even if not in braids. As long as the stickiness isn't making your hair hard to comb, I think it'd be fine to use.

I've been looking for African pride and/or Africas best braid spray at a couple CVS' and I haven't been able to find either of them. Where are you ladies getting it from? Maybe I need to check the bgecan eauty supply stores to see if I can get it there. The ingredients are amazing and I have in some senegalese twists right now.

 

[Vashti]

When I wore braids African Pride was my go to braid spray.

 

[JJamiah]

Love this thread right now I use Parnevu T-Tree Braids spray I think I will give African Pride and African Royal a try based on these reviews

 

[RegaLady]

Afrcan Royale has this and I remember seeing a spray called Hair Energyzer or something like that and their ingrediants seemed really good.

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^I purchased mine from Sally's and I've seen it at K-Mart and BSS's all over.

Bumping... anyone know a good braid spray without parabens? all the ones listed above have parabens in them....

 

[rdm]

It is not a braid spray, per se. I use Shea Moisture Scalp Spray. It does not contain parabens. It smells good too and it has Tea Tree Oil.

 

[WhippedButterCreme]

Bumping... anyone know a good braid spray without parabens? all the ones listed above have parabens in them....

I also preach to the moisturizing power of african royale braid spray. Never worried about moisture for sure. I just have to find a way to have less build up. (maybe only use it 2x a week?)

Hmmm...What makes parabens bad for hair? I have a 'don't buy products with these ingredients list' so why should I add parabens to that list?

 

[SunySydeofLyfe]

I like the gueye braid spray.
