Staple moisturizer: was ORS Olive Oil Hair Lotion. Now it's Shea Moisture Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioner.
 
*Elasta QP h2 Moisture Sealing Leave-in

and

*Sofn'free n' Pretty Gro Healthy Olive Oil Growth Lotion

I have no desire to try anything else, and that's saying a lot coming from me. The ingredients alone make me swoon because it's so hard to find a glycerin, mineral oil and coconut oil free moituriser:

Water (Aqua), Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil,Propylene Glycol, Polyquaternium-37, Dimethicone, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Lanolin, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, PPG-1 Trideceth-6, Lamium Album (White Nettle) Extract, Pinus Sylvestris (Pine) Cone Extract, Arctium Lappa (Burdock) Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract, Hedera Helix (Ivy) Extract, Arnica Montana Extract, Nasturtium Officinale (Watercress) Extract Allium Sativum (Garlic) Extract, Steareth-2, Steareth-20, DMDM Hydantoin, Methylparaben Propylparaben, Fragrance (Parfum), Amyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Coumarin, Hexyl Cinnamal Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Blue 1 (CI 42090)
 
My hair is lovin Skala Shea Butter Leave-in and Skala Ceramides Leave-in. I never thought my hair would respond so well to brazilian products but it just eat it up :lick:
 
Hawaiian SIlky 14n1 at least for the summer
QBHC is okay too but I'm waiting for giovanni direct to get here so I can see if it'll be a better alternative
 
I just realized recently that there is a difference between a leave in and a moisturizer! While leave-ins are great, most of em dont hold in moisture longer than 12 hours....I had been using a leave in and sealing with oil at night and wondering my hair wasnt very soft the next morning...I thought something was wrong with my porosity, maybe my hair needed clarity, maybe my hair was "allergic" to protein, I couldnt figure it out! I noticed the difference when I started using my leave in, THEN using as a moisturizer Jane Carter Nourish and Shine, then sealing....the addition of the moisturizer was the only way my hair retained moisture. I have seen a lot of ladies talking about BB Growth Lotion and though I only use natural products I want to give that one a try, as it doesnt contain mineral oil or cones. Off to the beauty supply tomoro!
I think Im going to revisit the Qhemet and perhaps try the BRBC since I didnt have luck with the AOHC but I could have been using it wrong now that I understand the whole leave-in vs. moisturizer thing.

I have two moisturizers: Hydratherma Naturals Daily Moisturizing Growth Lotion (for my ends & for when my hair is in twists) & the Jane Carter Solution Hair Nourishing Cream (for when I'm doing my twists in any other season except summer).
 
I love Taliah Wajjid Protective Mist Bodifier, I like HS 14n1, and I want to try KBB Creamylicious (or Hair Cream) for straight hair styles.

2. Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship
3. Alba Leave-In

I'm in love with Ultra Black Hair Lotion Creme Moisturizer. I've tried others but there's none like it. I will be trying NTM Silk Touch Leave in. I heard great things about it. I hope it lives up to its reputation.
 
so far I'm still searching, I do tend to spray in the aphogee vitamin leave-in, and sometimes an occasional conditioner mixed in with water but, that does really do it for me. I guess i'll check out these posts and see which ones I can try. Oh and I'm also big on coconut oil. That's pretty much it.
 
I've been using KeraCare moisturizer and sealing with Hemp Seed oil and I really like my results.
 
My staples are Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter, Organics by Africa's Best Shea Butter and Tea Tree Oil Moisturiser and S Curl 360 Stylin' Afro Hair Softener

WOW 2007 was a long time ago, CD is no longer my staple moisturizer. My favorite moisturizers are:

1. Kinky curly knot today
2. African Royale Braid spray mixed with Kinky curly knot today and castor oil
3. Keracare Conditioning creme hairdress
 
I used to loooove Qhemet Biologics Olive Oil Cream Detangler! I still have not found anything to replace it.
