*Question of the Day!!!!*

Okay ladies. I'm curious. What is everyone's go to moisturizer? Do you prefer creams, oil, butters, or a combo??

I prefer a combo....QB's CTDG and seal that in with WGO/JBCO on my ends and my pumpkin seed/jojoba/argan oil mix on the length. :love:

Since I've gotten QB's CTDG my beloved AOHC has been forgotten. :blush: CTDG is just :lick:

I use aloe vera juice and seal with my crisco/avg mix. I used to use Carefree Curl Curl Activator but the last bottle I had made my hair feel sticky and dirty for some reason.

Just about anything from QB but CTDG, AOHC and BRBC. When I stray and need to pull the big dogs out, AOHC with JBCO on my ends works without fail. AOHC is a must during my stretch if I want to keep my stands in tact. I'm relaxed but these dry mid-western winters are could be hair killers.

i just feel like my hair is not growing. I have sever hair anorexia. Calling all hair shrinks cuz i needs help. i've been in cornrows for a while now and i redo the end ones when my hairline gets fuzzy as i'm trying to keep these edges in tact.

i really need a good moisturizer for my ends most times i apply my diluted CON Argan oil conditioner and seal with vaseline but i'm not happy with that.:sad:
 
growbaby I watched your video, very beautiful hair, do you keep it straight most of the time?
Thank u so much girl. I straightened every 1-2 months last yr. which is a huge improvement for me. When I do straightened I keep it straight for 1-2 weeks. Idk if u count that as most of the time, I feel like my hair is bunned ALL the time lol.

My fave is African Pride olive miracle moisturizer lotion. It just works amazingly on my hair and has good ingredients. Lately I've been mixing that, water, grape seed oil, OCO, and a tiny bit of V05 moisture milks into a spray bottle and applying every morning and night. Hair has Ben feeling very moisturized :yep:

I'm still trying to find my staple moisturizer, at the moment I'm using ORS olive oil moisturizer, it does the job alright but I find it quite thick and I feel like it leaves my hair greasy. I've got 5 more to try and then I will know which one will be HG or staples. I prefer creams and like oils to seal

I prefer creams. I do the LOC method

L-water
O- whichever I'm feeling that day
C- usually Shea moisture restorative conditioner. I'm starting to hate the smell of this though lol

Hmm...I don't have a "go-to" but I'm partial to Aloe Vera Juice and gel, SM curl enhancing smoothie and oils like coconut, JBCO and EVOO

Aloe vera juice sealed with coconut oil or castor oil mixed with rosemary, peppermint and tea tree oils.

THIS...Aloe vera has been the best for me!

I'm kind of here too, I would like to find a moisturizer and sealing duo that I can can use daily that doesn't take forever and doesn't require too much manipulation.
 
Elasta qp olive and mango butter
Very recently Hawaiian silky 14 in 1
these are two of my staples. I've been flat ironed for the past couple of weeks, but my hair got wet so its back to curls for the moment. I think I might baggy tonight with these both after a quick cowash. . . .
 
~Current hair length: APL
~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Natchal~BSL goal month: December, 2013

Detangle, rinse and after hair has air dried for a bit, spray with Aphogee Green Tea and Keratin Restructizer, style hair with KCC with added glycerin and seal with grease. Moisturize with KCC and seal with grease daily. Wear hair in twists and twist-outs.
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL?: I might purchase some more honequat and SAA to add to my DCs and KCC.
~Post a beginning picture: Not gonna happen. I know for a fact that one of the women I work with lurk on this board! But I ain't got to lie to kick it!

I love silk elements leave in moisturizer sealed with one and only argan oil... Got to use both together to make me really love it.

I use a combo. I spray my hair with water/conditioner concoction (more water than conditioner), moisturize with Parnevu leave-in, then seal with either an oil mix of jojoba, avocado, and tea tree; or butter mix of shea, coconut, avocado, and jojoba.
 
I'm having issues wrapping my hair at night. How do you guys do it so that you don't have to straighten out kinks everyday?
 
Here's the drawstring pony i bought yesterday. I want a bit more length off but im happy with it overall, i just moisturise, bun and go :)
