Try Kemi Oyl Shea Butter Pomade.

The CD product just stopped working for me after I had more than 2" of new growth.
I may have been using too much, though... The Kemi smells better (if you don't mind smelling like grape Kool-aid) and it spreads better, IMO. I paid $4.79 for mine. My male cousin stole a big blob and had the nerve to ask me to buy him some more!
It made his hair (3" long at the time) look all shiny and curly.

What makes it better? My friend is supposed to bring me some CDHHB from Denver, but I am hoping to find something similar in the meantime, I hope I can find the Kemi stuff.

I like the texture of it, and since the first ingrediant is shea butter, you get the moisturizing, shine, and natural benefits of shea butter, but it is easy to manipulate. There isn't any beeswax in it, which I think makes the difference between the two. The kosbp seems to melt in and be absorbed by the hair more so than the HHB. One thing to note is that a little goes along way, so in that respect the 6.99 isn't so bad. Also if you put it on wet hair, it will have the white-head affect that HHB has. Meaning it looks kinda whitish, but that can be remedied with a scarf for 15 minutes if your hair isn't that wet. If your hair is soaking wet, then I know that it will fade by an hour or so. Anyway, I hope this helps a bit.

That is so true. Each time I do twists, usually the first day after, people at my job, ask if people smell kool-aid or candy. I usually say it is my hair, they smell it and say yeh, that's it. It also really defines my coils and waves and gives much shine.

Hey Anky
I've been experimenting with Africa's Best Organics Herbal Tea Tree Gro Lite Hair Conditioner. Here's a pic of the line
The Tea Tree Gro isn't pictured, however, it comes in the same container as those pictured.
I've been using this exactly like I use CD HHB. I get the same results. I have to use more Herbal Tea Tree compared to HHB, however, I have to add water to HHB to dilute it some.... it's wayyyy too thick to spread.
Getting back on track here.... I pay $3.99 for a 4oz jar at a local Asian beauty supply store.
Herbal Tea Tree is an ultra light, deep penetration conditioner & moisturizer containing all natural ingredients including heral extracts, tea tree oil & vitamins. It restores nutrients & natural moisture to weak, damaged hair while stimulating the scalp with natural organic ingredients that promote healthy growth. Excellent for all hair types, includingnatural, relaxed, pressed, curls, texturized or color-treated hair.
Here's the ingredients:
Soy bean oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil, hydrogenated coconut oil, microcrystalline wax, tea tree oil, safflower oil, calendula extract, yarrow extract, cucumber extract, carrageenan extract, matricaria extract, thyme extract, ginseng extract, sage extract, comfrey extract, aloe extract, fragrance, dye.
directions: gently massage a small amt into hair & scalp daily. When applying for the 1st time, remove petroleum, mineral oil & wax build-up from the hair & scalp.
I used this on dry hair... It gave me a wonderful sheen & soften my new growth, however, the yellow/gold dye was aweful. It showed up on my scalp
. Now I use it on wet hair or right after water misting. The results are absolutely amazing... I can smooth down my new growth, it defines my natural curls & waves, my hair stays moisturized all week long... with that wet-shiny-glossy finish. THis is some goooooood stuff!!!
Just for the record, Ms Kenesha recommended Kemi Shea Butter to me some time ago... I'm still gonna try it out also
Ok, that's my lil 2 cents

Ms. Peachtree, I have been using the Africa's Best Tea Tree Gro for months and love it! It's so funny that you mention the smell, because I love the smell. I use it on my dry hair and have never experienced any problems with the dye on my scalp. I am light handed with it though, especially when I first get a touch up, because it is a tad heavy. It's a product I enjoy and the price is oh so nice!

Hey nmfsc! I was eyeing this product as well. By the way, are you a relaxed or natural? If you are natural, how have you found this product works on your new growth? Does it get buildup- y? Does it soften, define curls? Sorry for all the question. I'm just trying to pick out a really good cream right now that I can use for daily moisture (cd hhb would get kind of expensive for daily use)
