Moisturiser help needed!!!

[Austro-Afrikana]

I know there aren't too many peoply online but i need help finding a moisturiser. I am a 4a transitioner and would preferably like something all natural. I love robin's flat ironing creme so much but she doesn't ship internationally anymore so, since i found out and my creme ran out, i have had so many problems trying to keep my hair moisturised and not greasy or weighed down. I even starting to experience Breakage! :-(
I was thinking of trying the megagrowth lotion even though it isn't natural but i really just want something natural, which has a bit of protein in for my relaxed ends.
Please help me.

You could try Giovanni Direct Leave in which has the protein you want but left my hair really soft as well

Thank you but i don't think that is available in the UK...or is it? I'll check pak's

They don't sell Giovanni Direct in PAK, maybe try whole foods (check online for stores). I bought mine in the US but I have seen it online and I hear it's sold in whole foods. I use Giovanni Direct as a leave in, not a moisturiser.

I'm a transitioner too... I moisturise with my home made spritz (conditioner, EVOO, glycerin and water) and seal with my shea butter mix (unrefined shea butter, castor oil, coconut oil and aloe vera gel).

I found somewhere that has it
www.yourhealthfoodstore.co.uk
can it be used as a moisturiser?

 

[MummysGirl]

I personally don't think so but hopefully someone else will chime in. I love how it feels on damp-to-wet hair (very detangling and yes moistursing) but I still feel like my hair needs some moisture when it's fully dried, so I use my spritz and shea butter.

I must warn you though, some people I know with thicker strands of hair find the protein too be too much and complain it makes their hair hard. I have fine strands and it works perfectly for me. There was a thread about it...

 

[Austro-Afrikana]

Yeah, i just looked at the thread 'in critisism of giovanni' and it kind of scared me...are there any other suggestions of moisturisers? :-(

 

[MummysGirl]

I think you should try out a home made moisturiser mix, you can use a conditioner with natural ingredients, evoo or any oil of your preference (natural), vegetable glycerin and water. See what you think... Hopefully you'll get more responses.

Good luck

Qhemet is the only thing that really moisturizes my 4b hair!

I am still trying to find a moisturizer that works. I use water maybe a little oil with SAA in a spray bottle. On wash day I pair it with Cantu Shea Butter LI and seaL witk Shea or castor oil
