Give it to me RAW Daddy!

[Crackers Phinn]

Now that I have your attention!

Who uses hair products without adding oils, butters,honey,sulfur,etc?

It seems like everytime I read product reviews from grease to relaxers, somebody's added "a lil bit of this" and "a pinch of that".

Now being real, I only add stuff to watery conditioners that when used 'raw' don't work in my hair. But for the most part, my staple products are those that I can put undiluted on my hair and keep it moving. I kind of feel like, if I have to become a Master Mixtress to get a product to work on my hair then it's a worthless product.

Also, do you try using your products on their own first before adding an oil/butter or is it a given that 'all products need a lil something'?

Just bein nosey! :wink2:

TIA

Good poll!
I don't like having to add anything to my products. I think they should work they way they're supposed to, as is.
If they don't, I move on the next product, which is why I've tried soooo many products.

 

[blue_flower]

I don't add anything.

I feel the same way, if it doesn't work by itself and I have to add extras then it's not worth me keeping.

Whenever I try something new, I try it by itself with nothing extra added. I also make sure that my hair is clarified and that I follow my usual routine, only changing that one new thing. That way I'll know for sure if it is actually having an effect on my hair.

I'm also a firm believer that my hair can only take so much "stuff" at one time, so I like to do one thing at a time. If I buy something and then add all kinds of other stuff I think it hurts my hair, rather than helping it.

I almost spit my coffee out when I read the title. I dont add anything. But maybe I should to my VO5 cause its not working on my NG at 17 weeks like it did at 3 weeks.

 

[KEWLKAT103]

I've added evoo to my con once and that was just to try it out.
Other than that, I like my products straight up.
Sometimes I do mix, but I mix from scratch, not adding to.

 

[prospurr4]

I don't add anything to ANY of my products, whether it be a cheapie conditioner or a relaxer. I keep my regimen as simple as possible so "mixing stuff" is just not something I'm interested in doing.

 

[ajacks]

I add castor oil to conditioners ocassionally, because it is too thick and sticky to use alone.

I'm big on products working well on their own.If I have to doctor it up and add oliveoilhalfacupofsheabutter3.5dropsofsilkaminoacidscrushed upberriestwigsbuttermilkpumpkinseedsgoatmilkwhalespermetc. that done turned it into a whole new product.


I spend a pretty little chunk of change for quality so everything I use is fine on its on.:creatures

 

[wheezy807]

I usually don't add anything to my products.

Then my work here is done!

That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm always thinking that the PJ's amongst us should take it into consideration when they are reading reviews as to what's being added.

i add honey to my conditioner for a DC. and i dilute my shampoo with water and add a little baking soda. i also dilute conditioner in a bottle for a quick moisturizing spritz

 

[nappystorm]

ITA with OP if i have to mix and go on it's not the product for me. I'm lazy.

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Whoo chile! I can't get past the title It's been a long time

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

also, I don't typically add anything to my conditioners or poo's. I sometimes mix my vatika oil into my conditioner for a prepoo though but generally I just use em straight.

 

[vkb247]

Me too. But I voted that I add sometimes. I don't try to improve my products, but I mix to make new products all the time:

-I add oil/conditioner to my relaxer to slow down the processing to give me time to do what I do
-I add vinegar to my shampoos to neutralize
-I add baking soda to my conditioner to clarify

I also mix a lot of my own products (sometimes I use commercial products in the mix). I make my own gels & curly puddings, turn my conditioners into moisturizers, make natural dc's, and I layer stuff like I might put some straight honey on my hair after gel and oil to lay down edges and add shine.

But I never add anything to my conditioners or shampoos when I wash/cowash and I never add anything to my store bought gels. Should I have chose "I never add anything to my products"? spinning:

*sees the title and says WTF!!!!!*


No, I don't add to products. Also, on the flip side, if I'm looking for one thing I don't get something that has that one thing in it PLUS a whole bunch of other stuff.

 

[SoCalli]

I don't add anything to my products.

 

[Simply_Kelz]

I don't usually add things to my products. I've added coconut oil to my DC before but .. I was bored and trying to stretch it a bit ..

 

[destiny616]

I don't add anything. If the product does not work on its own then it is not the product for me.

 

[anon123]

i usually don't add anything either. i really just don't feel like it. but sometimes i'll use 2 things, like a conditioner and another oil. does that count? anyway, yeah, usually i just use as-is.

 

[SparklingFlame]

I add SAA to ERRYTHANG!!!!!

 

[BillsBackerz67]

Nope I use everything as is.

 

[Evazhair]

The products I add things to work well for me without the extras. I guess it's the chemist in me that likes to make my own "formulations." If something needs an additive to be effective it will not be repurchased.

 

[cupcakes]

i dont add anything

 

[Jetblackhair]

I don't add to my products, I use as is.

 

[Undefeated Queen]

@ the thread title! I use my products raw except for adding a little molasses or evoo to a few conditioners.

 

[myronnie]

nice title......lol.
Naw i always add butter, oils, and honey to my deep conditioners

 

[Dommo]

I don't add anything to my products...It is way too messy and time consuming and If the products are good, there's no need

 

[chebaby]

i use my ORS replenishing paks by itself but i do like to mix coconut oil and honey in some conditioners. its makes it ammmmaaaazzzing.
