I think I've conquered my biggest obstacle...DRYNESS!! (part 1)

[larry3344]

Okay, I've posted countless threads and spend hours and $$ on how to combat dryness well today I may have stumbled onto something. I have never pre-pooed before so today I tried pre-pooing with Body shop moiture mask I let it sit for several hours then I shampooed my hair with Chagrin Valley's shea rose slay, next I ACV rinse which I followed with Body shop Honey moisturizing conditioner (love that condish) and my hair felt soooo good my coils were popping and my kinks felt like butter. Now on my quest to ahieving the softest hair possible for the longest time possible I will see how long my hair can stay moisturize for without product (no leave-in, moisturizers, oils) until I need to moisturize my hair and untill my nxt wash day. By the way I am a 4a/b and I know for a fact that I am not the only one whose been struggling with this so I plan on continuing this series until I have perfected my moisturizing reggie.

When my hair was dry as the Sahara a few years ago, adding honey to my conditioner turned that around immediately, so I am not surprised that the honey condish helped to combat the dryness you have been experiencing. I remember how relieved I was to finally find something that worked for my dry hair, so I imagine that you feel the same.

Good for you. I'm trying to find that perfect regimen that won't need me to constantly have to add leave ins/moisture in between co-washes.

I love teh body shop honey moisturizing conditioner. That stuff is god sent. Helps with tangles, smells great, and makes my hair silky.

Sometimes I add some extra honey to it and apply a plastic cap. Then I sit under the dryer.

I didn't know they had a moisture mask. I am going to check it out.

Yeaaaaaah! I'm so happy for you.

Pre-pooing and ACV rinses have been so helpful for me too. I add honey and EVOO to my weekly DC treatments and my hair is now always soft. My hair wasn't like this pre-LHCF. My NG is very manageable b/c of what I've learned on LHCF.

I did try to not use a leave-in but after 2 days I my ends would start to feel a little parched and they would matte together.
