tyte curlz,
How does one go about "do" an oil rinse?
How does one go about "do" an oil rinse?
I use JASONS conditioners. There biotin, sea kelp, and rosewaters conds are great.
EVOO, coconut milk and honey. I like a thicker consistency so I might add a few squirts of a cheap conditioner or go heavy on the honey.
Cantu shea butter is great. The first ingredient is water I believe
Right after washing my hair, I finger comb a small amount of Elucence or kenra Conditoner as a leave-in in my damp hair. Then I add some oil. I usually rub some Extra Virgin Olive Oil in my hands and distribute from scalp to ends. I make sure to spitz my hair each night lightly with either leav-in or braid spray and then add a little Oil as above. If you add oil when wet the hair soaks it up and isnt greasy as it would be if you just put oil on dry hair. This is when my hair is in two strand twists or even a bun.
A really good conditioner without proteins and is inexpensive and moisturizing is Elasta QP DPR-11. If you add 1 ounce of Olive oil and 1 ounce of honey it will give you slip, defined curls and sheen. I use heat like my heating cap or my dryer
If you want to spend some money, Curls Ecstasy Asian Hair Tea is my holy grail- I add nothing to it and sit under the dryer for 30 minutes. It is the reason I can do a low manipulation regimen.
The other ladies are on point- water should be the first ingredient for any moisturizer
ETA: since your hair is dry have you considered no pooing? Its really help me manage my hair. Shampoo makes my hair make a fist!!
I co-sign with the Asian Hair Tea. I sleep with it on overnight with my hair in a shower cap and scarf. The next morning I can hear my hair saying "thank you!"
I cosign w/the Elasta QP, I also add oil to it.
EVOO and coconut milk....I love it! Never tried the honey yet. Can't wait!
I just BC ed about a week and a half ago on a whim thanks to LHCF. But I went natural a few years ago for about a year, and the best moisturizer I used was from Allways. It was in a pink bottle. I haven't had the chance to go out and get it yet, but it was wonderful. I just started using Africa's Best Organics Olive Oil Growth Lotion/Mosturizer, and it is wonderful too. It gets my comb through my 4a/b hair like a champ and it helps really define my texture. Plus it isn't greasy.
I seal my wet hair with castor oil. I use Qhemet Biologics Heavy Cream for moisture on dry hair.
How do you use this? where can i get it?I use rose water
how do you use this?I use a moisture mix that consists of water, condish (VO5) and castor oil…works great!
Coconut Milk+Any Moisturizing Condish, Lustrasilk Shea Butter Mango Cholesterol, and Proclaim Cholesterol also works well when you need that extra something something!
Is this a daly or leave in? what are the step by steps?I use Profectiv Break-free and Elasta QP Mango Butter. I use mane and tail as a moisturizing deep conditioner.
I love Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1. I seal w/castor oil. Also stay away from drying shampoo.
Hi Belinda- Ill try to answer some of your questions
The Cantu product that is referred to here is Shea butter leave in, So a search will yield you the threads and posts and pros and cons.
An oil rinse occurs immediately after you wash your hair you saturate your hair with avocado, or olive or sunflower or coconut oil or jojoba- you get the idea and let it stay in your hair for 5 minutes and rinse out with warm water- this guarantees virtually no tangles.
Curls Asian Hair Tea can be purchased from this website www.curls.biz.com
You already know about Qhemets - the heavy cream and olive honey balm are great for retaining moisture. A good bargain can be found at your local beauty store Its call Elasta QP DPR-11
I dont know about Coconut milk and Evoo but maybe you can personal message the ladies that maybe havent even seen your requests for information cause they have been on other threads.
Hopes this helps and that molasses recipe sounds great. If this ayurvedic thing im doing now doesn't work Ill be right there with you. HTH
Glycerin. I love this stuff. I have found through my trial and error of so many commerical products that when wearing my hair in it's natural state ( not blowdried and flat-ironed) after a fresh wash, glycercin sealed with some castor oil, leaves my hair pretty darn nice.
Hello ladies.
I need help. What is the best moisturizer that you have used?
No Protine, I have too much protine. My hair is so protine fortified that it is starting to snap.
I habe been trying to find a moisturizer and I have been all over this site trying to find something and I have not.
Kitchen made or store bought, please tell me what you use for moisture that does not have protine.
Thank you in advanced for your help.erplexed
I have good news, my concoctions is having a cummulative effect on my boys hair. I need figure out how to post pictures.
Okay the babies always look great and they dont care about moisture too much, but did you find anything for your hair??
