Have you found your staple moisteriser???

[wheezy807]

I’m still on a quest for a good moisturizer. So far, ORS Olive Oil is working for me. Sealing hasn't been working too well. No matter how much I try not to be heavy handed, my hair always winds up feeling too oily.

Ya know ORS Olive oil can be a moisturizer or a sealant. I don't even bother sealing with anything. My hair doesn't dry out because of it, either.

Joico Intense Hydrator is my first love

Joico Moisture Recovery is a close second,

and for every day moisture/cw (and because Joico can be a little pricey)

***drum roll***

Herbal Essense Hello Hydration!!!! It's so thick and rich.....


These are my staples, and I love all of them

 

[ritzbitz78]

1. LongAid Activator Gel
2. Glycerine
3. Shea butter mix/w glycerine (ends)
4. Avocado butter mix/w glycerine (ends)
5. Homade leave-in spray (elucence MB, water, glycerine)

My hair looooooves glycerine. I heart this stuff!!!!

My hair loves glycerin also! I usually mix glycerin and aloe vera gel together. I then seal with jojoba and coconut oils. Yummy!

 

[Tamrin]

I got tired of searching and I decided to make my own. Using the butters I already had. Added Glycerine and Silk Amino Acid and Grapeseed oil Rose and Lavender EO. My SO has been using it. He loves it. My Friend says it looks like Icing. Very moisturizing.

 

[KaramelDiva1978]

S-curl if I'm just pulling my hair back in a bun. After a shampoo, though I'd say NTM Silk Touch Leave in and Coconut Oil for wrapping or rollersets. On my airdrying days for wet and wear, ORS Carrot Oil and EVOO or Vatika oil.

 

[bbdgirl]

actually I dont even use mositurizer any more, I just put conditioner in my hair and Profectiv healthy ends. morning and night. I am not even sure what moistrizer is supposed to do.

 

[Ebony]

still longaid gel & scurl after all these years. my hair doesn't like grease & these two don't way my hair down.

Thanks for the info, I'm still trying to get all my techniques down. My hair is very dry so I often have a tendency to over do it as far as hydration goes.

Sounds delish.

My fav is EQP Mango Butter. But I'm thinking about making my own shealoe butter.

 

[Napp]

I like kids organics shea butter detangler as an overall moisturizer and hawaiiansilky 14 in one (which is like s curl but better)gives me extra shine and really controls my puffy roots. i also like vo5 champagne and strawberries because its acts like KO to me with a better scent but KO does a better job at moisturizing. I usually mix the 3 together to get hair that i dont have to re moisturize for at least 3 days.

 

[EbonyHairedPrincess]

1st NTM silk
2nd Herbal Essence

I am printing this thread to see if I find some new favorites.

 

[TooCute]

Just got my S-Curl yesterday. I'm in love.


Mango Butter doesn't do much for me but I use it anyway (smells so darn good my SO loves when I use this stuff) with some Cantu something something oil (I don't know the name, clearly. I know it has coconut oil and joboa oil (something like that)

[Mz.Shug]

I just wanted to tell everyone that i absolutely luuuurrrrvve ORS Olive Oil (the cream).

I have been searching for that one cream, or leave in moisteriser i could put in my hair everyday. My dry hair is not thirsty anymore since discovering ORS Olive Oil, my hair feels instantly moisterised like i've just poured water onto it. It cools my scalp, it makes my hair soft and i especially love it on my ends becuase it makes it feel so silky.

Same here. I look forward to trying keracare's products too.
My inner PJ's coming out...

 

[misschee]

i dont have a favorite and im not in love but....
~i like sta-so-fro when i leave my hair in a fro or when i do a puff
~i like shea butter when i do twists, or press my hair but i dont know how to use it when my hair is in a fro (thinking about trying liquid shea butter)

i wanna try
~ors olive oil
~mango butter
~s-curl

 

[Stella B.]

I have several moisturizers that I enjoy using, and will keep them in my reggie for now because they seem to be working:

distilled water-twice a day from a spray bottle followed by
B&B moisturizing and growth oil-in a gold bottle-hair loves it!

Phyto9 cream for the ends
coconut oil for the scalp

I have tried glycerin, aloe vera, shea butter, care free curl gold, all without much luck.

I loved ORS lotion until I found out it has formaldehye (DMDH) in it to preserve the shelf life of the product.

I am still searching for my one true moisturizing luv.......guess I'll stick mostly to good ole distilled water for now!!!!!

 

[_belle]

ive decided that mine are ntm leave in and cantu shea butter. . . i might relax today, so I wanna see how these will treat my relaxed hair. . . because they have been treatin my curly/"natural"/new growth/transition hair AMAZINGLY.

 

[chebaby]

in the winter my staples will change to:
natural oasis shea butter and jojoba hair butter sealed with carols daughter hair balm
or
keracare creme hairdress sealed with jbco

 

[Nikki4ny]

The PJ in me tries a lot of stuff but I always come back to Giovanni Direct leave-in and Giovanni Smooth As Silk Deep Moisture conditioner. The second one is a regular rinse out kind but I leave it in and my hair stays soft all day.

Yep...both of these are my staples as well.

 

[Desarae]

Afro Detangler. Love it.

 

[LaPetiteCoquette]

My staples are Salerm21 and NTM. After towel drying, I put the Salerm on first, then NTM and then I seal with the castor oil. I "touch up " the moisture twice daily with a bit of either Salerm or NTM concentrating on the ends and maybe add a bit of castor oil when needed, until next wash then I do the same thing all over again. My hair feels so moisturized when I do this.

 

[GoingNatural]

Yes, whatever conditioner I am using at the time.

 

[productjunkie814]

Right now I am in love with Shea Moisture Leave-In (Shea Butter, Deionized Water, Herbal Complex, Panthenol, Centromonium Chloride, Glycerin, Cocoa Butter, Aloe Vera, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E). I've only used it on my wash and goes since that's what I wear most of the time now with my TWA, but my hair LOVES LOVES LOVES it! It's thick, it smells good, I don't have to use a lot, and it keeps my hair soft and moisturized as well as keeps my curls defined without gel. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
