Have you found your staple moisteriser???

[Jessofpal]

After my recent misstep I don't think I'll be stepping out on S-Curl any time soon. I put it on last night and my hair feels much better and the breakage has stopped.

Yes, I have found my staple product. I mix water,glycerine and castor oil(I sometimes add hempseed oil) in a spray bottle. It works wonders for my hair.
My hair is natural and ever since I've applied this concoction, it is softer and not dry. Because of the glycerine, my hair retains moisture.
It is also a very non expensive product

While I love Silicon Mix leave in, I need something else for my ends that not only keeps it weightless but greasless as well. Nothing I've tried thus far has been able to do this. While wearing protective styles and air drying, I don't mind a lil "greasiness" but when I wear my hair down and straight or rollerset, movement is a must, not an option. I've used everything and so far have not found that perfect moisturizer. I just rec'd Vatika Cream so I'll give that a try on the ends... I have ORS OO in the jar and bottle, carrot oil, I've used all of Profectiv's stuff and I don't like the smell or feel (used to work pt @ Sally's, too much of a PJ paradise). I like EQP mango butter only for my edges, it's too heavy to use all thru my hair. All of these leave my hair with a wet feeling which I cannot have because my hair will just curl back up. I'll just have to keep looking. The best experience I've had so far has been w/jojoba oil but even that can give my problems. Oh well, off to the BSS on my lunch hour.

I have found it - For now the two I use and get moisture instantly is Kids Organic Shea Butter Detangling Leave-in Moisturiser and S-Curl. S-Curl on my ends is perfect and I seal with oil. I do my moisturising at night and light coating in the morning.

Jade, these are my favourites too.

In which order do you use them? And which one in the morning and which one at night?

I'm still looking and I've tried like everything. it's not that my hair feels really dry so I guess it's not that big of a deal, but I still want to find one that i just know is the right product for my hair... everything i've used basically has the same effect (they add shine and smoothness but not softness) i did have success with castor oil but does that really count as a moisturizor?? I know oils aren't moisturizors so I've always thought I need to add something else and then seal with the castor oil.

I think maybe I should just give up on creamy moisturizors and try that "water,glycerine and castor oil concoction" that ina mentioned.

i've tried ORS olive oil (in the tub and the bottle)
Keracare conditioning creme hairdress
Lacio Lacio
NTM silk touch
avocado butter
s-curl

 

[lexi08]

Kiehl's with Silk Groom is the bomb! Next I want to add Jane Carters Nouish and Shine or Phyospecifics moisturizing styling balm to my rotation.

 

[KissyKissyLuv]

I don't know if I will ever find a staple (sorry that's the junkie talking). But seriously, my hair is very soft naturally whether I put something in it or not, so I am now on a quest to figure out which moisturizers can do more for my hair. I love ORS olive oil lotion and salerm 21 right now, but I feel like I might need to find something for the Fall and Winter.

 

[fluffylocks]

Carefree gold....and sadly nothing else. Everything else gets laughed at

 

[sexyaqr]

ORS olive oil. It is the bomb. I only just started using this and my hair absolutely loves it.
My no 2 would be Elasta QP Mango Butter

I UNDERSTOOD your dilemma completely................UNTIL yesterday when I sprayed my hair with Hawaiian Silky Moisturizer & Sheen with Jojoba and Tea Tree Oils. :superbanana:There's a party going on at my house! This stuff is AWESOME! Silky, Smooth, Moist, Non-greasy hair! If you're looking for LIGHT.....then this is it! I didn't have to add a thing. NOW I KNOW!

 

[jeanne516]

I'm gonna have to check this out! I used to love to use their proteinized conditioner when I had blonde chunks. Thanks for the tip :eyebrows2

 

[silvergirl]

mine is water.............. yup water

 

[NYLegalNewbie]

This keeps my edges nice and smoothe

Ditto on this one. I LOVE this stuff...not too thick but not too light. And lots of great all natural ingredients.

Other favorites - Nexxus Headress and NTM Leave in.

 

[Candy_C]

Avo'coco on dry hair if really dry

[remnant]

[MzTami]

I like that BB hair lotion with Castro Oil + Carefree Gold Curl moisturizer. Those are my staples for now. I haven't found anything to keep my hair soft and moisturized as those two. They are cheap and Goooood.

 

[skyborn09]

Not quite yet because my current moisturizer isn't giving my hair the softness and moisture it needs. But I rather use a moisturizer than not one at all. I'm currently using UBH creme moistorizer. After my UBH is gone I'm thinking about going out and getting Neutrogena's line of Triple moisture!

I'm loving this too, I use a dab of Mango Butter with it.

 

[natstar]

Actually I have a few- Qhemet heavy cream, Humectress, and WGO.

 

[4mia]

my favorite after many products is bj's whipped baggy cream or bj's shealoe pespritzed with water or on dry hair

 

[A_Christian]

It was Qhemet Sidr Tree Butter but it's been discontinued so I'm searching for my staple moisturizer again. I do like Qhemet Amla and Olive Heavy Creme and Decca Plus Scalp Therapy, although it's a scalp treatment it's a great moisturizer as well.

 

[HisBestFriend]

I use Paul Mitchell's The Conditioner and seal it with JBCO or EVOO.

 

[BrooklynSouth]

Shampooed today with Nexxus Therappe, conditioned with Humectress, towel blotted,spritzed some SURGE 14 and Tresemme Detangle, applied my cheapie BB Castor Oil Strengthening Creme with Aloe in the jar...found the BB is cheap in price only...my hair is in two side hanging braids, purrrtttyyy, shiny, soft and smooth. Don't sell that BB short..it's for real The real test will be in the morning once I take off my scarf.

 

[shtow]

Nexxus Humectress sharts on any other I have tried. Makes my rollersets GREAT and is a GREAT leave in!!!
