Qhemet Biologics Alma and Olive Heavy Cream
Shea butter mixed with coconut oil & castor oil

I just tried Kimmaytube's leave-in last night (but used Giovanni Direct Leave-in instead). It was great. :yep:
 
I receive most of my moisture through my dc but on the 3rd day i refresh my hair with CoCo Cream LI from SSI mixed with aloe vera and Jojoba Oil or spray my hair with SSI Moisture Mist then seal with hot six oil. I found out that my hair hate heavy butters and cream (it would just snap).
 
I use shea moisture's hair lotion and seal with castor oil. My hair is soft for at least 2 days and then on the third day I just use a little bit more of the castor oil. Actually, sometimes I think all I need is my beloved castor oil!
 
I use Curl Junkie leave in diluted in spring water with a bit of glycerin w about a spoon of grapeseed oil .
 
a mixture of olive oil, conditioner and water...spritz everyday under my gel....and after I wet with water on days I dont apply product..
 
Forgive the dumb question but does s curl make u ladies hair feel greasy? I just remember the 80s at the height of the jheri curl
 
I'm transitioning and so far I like how my hair feels when I moisturize with Fantasia IC leave-in moisturizer hair & scalp treatment and seal with coconut oil. I've also tried Kimmaytube's leave-in concoction as a hair moisturizer and like that as well.
 
S curl, hawaiin silky 14 in 1 and Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer. I love the Luscious! It's light, smells good, smooths my edges too.
 
Trader Joe's Nourish or Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose. I didn't set out to use organic products, but my hair really seems to love them. I seal with EVCO. I tried Giovanni Direct Leave in, but it made my scalp itch and my hair felt a little dry; still and all, I might revisit the product because I tend to be heavy handed with my products.
 
Water-based creamy moisturizers (Jane Carter Solution Hair Nourishing Cream & Hydratherma Naturals Daily Moisturizing Growth Lotion)
 
While transitioning and until recently, I swore by Scurl. However, when I tried the CG Method, I gave Scurl never to return. I learned that the product that I liked in Scurl was the glycerine so now I just use a little veggie glycerine :yep: along with my leave in to moisturize.
 
This may be a dumb question, but pls forgive me as I am new to this and learning. What is the difference between a water-based moisturizer and an oil-based moisturizer? Just because a product has water listed as the first ingredient doesn't necessarily mean it's a water-based moisturizer, does it? I use ORS Carrot Oil as my moisturizer and seal with castor oil. Can anyone give an example of a water-based moisturizer and an oil-based moisturizer? TIA.

FabGorgeousWestIndian To me, anything with water in it, especially as one of the first ingredients, is water-based. Oil-based moisturizers are usually just the pure oils themselves or something like Nubian Heritage Raw Shea Butter Hair & Scalp Elixir whose ingredients are: African Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil, Safflower Oil, Silk Protein, Sweet Almond Protein, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Essential Oil Blend, Soy Milk, Extracts of Frankincense & Myrrh

Darcy's Shea Leave In has been great to me lately but im still missing my beloved BM Deja's Hair Milk can't wait for black friday to re-up!
 
Looks like I need to try SCurl too...

But I've recently been using StaSofFro and then Shea Butter... Makes may hair feel food so far... We'll see if it continues.
 
I currently spritz my hair with water, apply Hello Hydration Conditioner as a leave-in, then Cantu Shea Butter on top of that.:yep:

I have a question regarding those that say s-curl for moisture....what do you do for the fall and winter, when there is not moisture in the air? just wondering because i never used it this season, so just curious.
