What type of moisturizer do u use for the daily upkeep of your hair. I've used suave conditioners and/or hair creme (olive) but i still feel as if i should be using something else which is specifically designed to moisturize your hair.
So...
[*]What do you use?
[*]How often do you use it?
[*]Where do you apply it (whole head, ends only, etc.)?
[*]It is heavy or lite?
[*]How does it leave your hair feeling?

TIA.
 
ors olive oil lotion and carrot oil
daily usage
whole head
it's light
soft and moisturized
i also use profective healthy ends about every 3 days for the ends on my hair
 
I use my spray bottle mixture that contain jojoba oil, amla oil, suave strawberries and cream conditioner, sweet almond oil, and a little bit of Hot 6 oil and Kenra's moisturizing conditiner.

I use all kinds of moisturizers..

- leave ins (pantene, VO5, etc)
- oil moisturizers (neutrogena, pantene, pink oil)
- foam (l'oreal, neutrogena)
- oils

I use one or a mixture of the above daily in the am before putting my hair in a braid or a bun.
I spray or apply the moisturizer everywhere. Usually I wet my hair first with water or a spray leave in and then I apply the oil or the oil moisturizer.
I feel that my hair is always moisturized. Sometimes I overdo it with the oil moisturizers. I mean I literally soak my hair in that stuff sometimes and then make two braids. But at least my hair is never dry.

I use the water/evoo mix in my spray bottle
pantene light spray conditoner
hot 6 oil
olive oil



I do one of these daily. I usually spray with the water/evoo mix and then seal with hot 6 or evoo
or I spray the ends with pantene conditioner and seal with one of the oils. Normally I do my whole head with greater concentration on the ends.
 
Coconut Oil and Distilled Water.

I use them daily. After my co wash...and before I start the day. The coconut oil is very light...and leaves my hair very moisturized. I use it as an all over moisturizer.
 
[*]What do you use? Nexxus Humectress and Elasta QP's Mango Butter mixed w/Coconut Oil
[*]How often do you use it? 2-3 times per day
[*]Where do you apply it (whole head, ends only, etc.)? I only use Humectress on the last 2" of hair, Butter & Oil to whole head
[*]It is heavy or lite? light
[*]How does it leave your hair feeling? Humectress makes my hair feel super moist and soft; the Butter and oil does too, but it has a more oiled (but not oily/greasy) feeling when compared to the Humectress.
 
I spray my hair with Infusium 23(original) leave-in spray mixed with EVOO and rosemary. I spray it a couple of times a day and then at night. (Whole head)

Flyjump, you just gave me an idea... I may try your concoction this summer when I wet my hair more often... I have a whole bottle of Infusium 23 leave-in in my closet collecting dust. It would be nice to put it to good use!! What's the purpose of the rosemary, and where do you buy it? Thanks!!

I use other moisturizers on my roots as it gets closer to touch up time. I also use a bit of WGO on my wet hair after every shampoo.
 
I forgot, I use Phyto 9 too! All over, including ends. Super light and undetectable, but wonderfully moisturizing.

What do you use? I first spray Infusium 23 mixed with Wonder 8 oil and EVOO and I've been alternating moisturizers. I usually use them for a week at a time or until the next time I wash with shampoo, which is usually once a week. They are Protectiv Healthy Ends and Break Free, Jojoba Oil and Mango Butter, or Wonder Gro Shea Butter grease

How often do you use it? Everyday, twice a day

Where do you apply it (whole head, ends only, etc.)? I usually spray my whole end and it depends on the moisturizer whether I use it on my whole head or just my ends.

It is heavy or lite? I finally narrowed it down to these products. They all leave my hair very moist and soft. I think my hair acts better when it has a little variety. That's why I alternate moisturizers.
 
I use my own product line (I even have it in pretty bottles and jars with labels - but sorry ladies, it's not for sale
wink.gif
) I have a leave-in/moisturizing spray with tea water (green and another), glycerin, silk protein, spring water - I spray it on my hair right out of the shower. My mom uses it daily, seems to be really good. Right now I just keep my hair conrowed back and wear a net cap weave - I've gained about two inches since January.

But yeah, the spray used whenever my hair feels dry leaves it feeling soft and moisturized, but I am natural right now so I can take heavier products.
 
I use a few differnt kinds of moisturizers depending on my stockage (I have so much
grin.gif
), what my hair needs, how I feel, or what I'm doing to my hair.

My main style is the ponytail with a bun. In which case I'll use some type of glycerin spray (SSF or S-Curl) and Profectiv Break Free. These I use on wet hair. When I wear my hair down, I rely on what I put on my hair while it's wet to moisturize it. Usually a good leave in and some type of oil (Coconut or Indian Oil). If my hair needs a little sheen as I'll add some CD Hair Milk or HHB. I only do it once a day.

Lindy- I Rosemary is a suppose to be a stimulant and I read that it makes your hair darker (not why I use it though) and it smells good (to me at least). I bought my bottle at a health food store. GNC has it too. Yes, try it. I have been using this potion since January. I like it. Just a little of each will do the trick.
 
Thanks flyjump...
smile.gif
I'm going to skip the rosemary, cuz I don't want to mess with my color!!
nono.gif
But I think I'll mix in some EVOO and maybe some of my Vanilla Monoi Oil...

I use the CHI oil (by Farouk). I love it and it smells really good. It has silk proteins and is soooo smooth. I use it every morning and at night before I put on my scarf. Its very light and leaves the hair super smooth. I also used the Neutregena Triple Moisture cream leave in after I washed and it was wonderful

Here is a picture of the CHI oil http://www.ballbeauty.com/chi_transformation_system.htm
