I'm a newbie to this website. I'm going hair product shopping this weekend. What items should I buy on my quest for bsl hair? Also, if you have any pointers on how to care of rmy hair, I'm all ears.
One of the first products I would recommend is a daily moisturizer. I like Elasta QP Mango Butter. You will find (sooner than later) your list of products that you want will look like Santa's list.
My hair is a little past my shoulders. My hair type is 4a & I think my hair is healthy. I wash my hair once a week, I roller set my hair with a leave in conditioner & I deep condition 2x a month.
Hi and . One of my staples is Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. I use it to seal in moisture on my hair strands. Also, when I press my 4a hair, I mix it with Aveda Anti-humectant pomade and that combo leaves my hair light, silky and full of body.

I'll co-sign for that Mango Butter. And Oyin Handmade whipped creams work great, too!
pinkskates...that aveda...is it water based? I always have a problem with water based products applied before a press.
Do you have any pics of your hair when it is not straightened and does it get your hair stick straight or a puffy straight? And tell me more about that Aveda.

No, the Aveda anti-humectant pomade (in a white jar) is more like a grease. It's loaded with rice bran and other aveda secret ingredients.
It does a great job of fighting off humidity. My pressed hair normally last 2 weeks plus in normal weather. I don't use any water based products when I press my hair. The pomade gets my hair stick straight if I want it to; depending on how many times I run the hot comb thru my hair. In my hair fotki album, there is a picture of me wearing my natural hair in a twistout 'doo. And right now, I'm wearing my natural hair in 2 strand twists.
