Im going shopping this weekend for new hair products. I think it's time i experiment with different prOducts seen as im now transitioning.
I want to go out there with a list of things to look out for, so please list what you like to use for the following. You can also add what you love about it if you want. Thanks.

Pre-poo

Shampoo

Conditioner

Deep conditioner

Protein

Light protein

Leave-in/daily moisteriser

I think that's about it, if you think i've missed anything out that i should be looking for, just add your suggestion.

TIA
 
I absolutely LOVE Neutrogena Triple Moisture for a conditioner to use for daily co-washes. I'm still searching for the perfect leave-in. Good luck in your search!!!!
 
I am a low maintenance natural, so I don't do the pre-poo. But, here are my recommendations:

Pre-poo

Shampoo- Curls Curliscious Cleansing Creme

Conditioner- Suave Milk and Honey, or any Suave Conditioner

Deep conditioner- Curls Asian Hair Tea

Protein- If and when I do this, I use Aubrey GBP

Light protein

Leave-in/daily moisteriser- Cathy Howse's UBH Moisturizer, or Qhemet Biologics Amla and Olive Cream. I use a homemade spritz on my hair daily also. It contains conditioner, water, any oil, and glycerin. HTH!

I think that's about it, if you think i've missed anything out that i should be looking for, just add your suggestion.

TIA[/quote]

Shampoo- Soft Sheen Carsons breakthro

Conditioner- I like Moisture Milks, and Hello Hydration

Deep conditioner- Sarlem Weat Germ & Ganrier Sleek and Shine

Pre-poo: I do not pre-poo

Shampoo: Hello hydrated by herbal essence weekly and suave daily clarifying one a month

Conditioner: Hello hydration by herbal essence or pantene daily moisture renewal

Deep conditioner: I do not currently deep condition but I think I will start again soon

Protein

Light protein: infusiam 23 leave in after washing

Leave-in/daily moisteriser: pantene hydrating curls daily comb in treatment for now but when this is done I want to try giovanni direct or that new aussie moist leave in cream. I seal my ends with grease.




I hope that helps.

Deep conditioner - nothing

Protein - Aphogee Reconstructor mixed with melted shea butter and coconut oil

Light protein - nothing for this

Leave-in/daily moisteriser - H20/suave conditioner/glycerin (only in summer)/olive oil combo

That's it.

Pre-poo
Coconut oil scalp massage down length and Wella cholesterol on length heat cap 15 mins at least, or eggs

Shampoo
Con only: Before I used Sauve Milk and Honey, now any good cheapie with good slip like Proclaim shea and Aloe, Sunsilk antipoof, anti frizz, I'm eyeing the Brentwood Almond and Honey(I think that's the name). and just add oil to them.

Conditioner

If I'm n a hurry whatever's around, usually Paul Mitchell Suprcharged moisture, Biolage Detangling balme, I also use them as leave-ins.
Deep conditioner

Praital Silk Worm, Silicon mix, my own homemade mixture

Protein
Aphogee followed by balancing conditioner.

Light protein
none

Leave-in/daily moisturiser
homade stuff with Scurl in it. Butters or oils. Paul Mitchell Suprcharged moisture, Biolage Detangling balme. Baggie or cap at night.

I also clarify with Apple cider vinaegre half water half ACV, every 2-3 months or if I remember, I follow ACV with Mayonaise, then rinse out with cheap conditioner.
Henna/Indigo around every 3 months.

Pre-poo Very rarely I'll use Aveda's Sap Moss Nourishing Concentrate. But normally I don't bother with pre-poo.

Shampoo I adore Alterna's Hemp Hydrate, it's sulfate free, very gentle, made with hemp seed oil (my favorite) but it's really expensive so I don't use it at every wash. Nexxus's Therappe. Redken's All Soft. Nexxus Phyto Organics Hydruss and Inergy

Deep conditioner See above. All of my conditioners are deep conditioners. I deep condition at every shampoo

Protein Rarely I use Nexxus's Emergencee. I don't like to use too much heavy protein, I've found my hair needs moisture more.

Light protein Nexxus's Keraphix. Nexxus Phyto Organics Enphuse.

Hey Bubln!! Or should I call you natural-ti :D Great to see you over here. The pic in your siggy is awesome.


OH yeah!! I forgot to add the oils I use. I just discovered and fell in love with castor oil. I only use it on wet/damp hair. If I need something lighter, I'll use coconut oil.
