Natural Ladies with some THICK THICK coarse Hair

[angelk316]

I need your help. I need some products suggestions. When I try products on my hair they either seem to soak it up, do nothing, make it dry or just sit on top of the hair. I ve tried CON shampoo and conditioner, WGO, VO5 con and poo and other products I cant think of right now. I cant afford very expensive product. I need suggestion on affordable products that work on natural, thick, coarse hair.

Jamaican Black Castor oil has done wonders for me. Also, do an ACV rinse to get rid of the build up.

although I'm texturized I think I may have some advice for you. WHen you wash your hair separate it in 4 sections, wash your hair in sections...when I was natural I could only manage my hair when it was wet. As far a products I have found that the following products really help and several naturals on this board may agree with me (I only texturize about 2 or 3 times a year so I understand your frustrations)

1. Elasta QP's mango butter about $5-$6 excellent moisturizer and it brings out the waves nicely.
2. Sta-Sof-Fro- Really detangles well and makes my hair ultra moisturized! about $4

3. Giovanni Leave in treatment--excellent but a little pricey about $7 for 8oz
4. Cantu Shea cream shampoo--excellent very moisturizing and detangling! $5
5. Deep treatments-cholesterol, Miss key 10 en 1 plus is da bomb baby! about $4.99 for 6oz
6. Elasta's Recovery lotion is really a great lotion moisturizer as well it runs about $3 to $4.

I hope that this helps!

I tried Scurl and LOVE it! It makes my hair soft, easy to comb and stays moisturized-just don't use too much.!

Cheap stuff that's worked for me:

*Aussie Moist shampoo - doesn't strip and cleans well
*Suave Daily Moisture conditioner - extremely moisturizing and gives great slip for detangling, good as a deep conditioner
*Suave Naturals Tropical coconut conditioner - good for light conditioning or conditioner washes
*Profectiv Break-free leave-in - nice moisturizing leave-in conditioner
*Profective Megagrowth - nice creamy hairdress
*Proclaim Aloe Gel or Fruit of the Earth Vitamin E gel - both give a nice soft hold, no crunchiness
*Salon Selectives molding putty - I'm not sure if they discontinued this or not but it's a great pomade product for styles like twists and braids. smells like green jolly ranchers too

I think all of these are under $5...most in the $1-$3 range.

Inexpensive stuff that works for me-

*unrefined shea butter
*Africa's Best Ultimate hair oil on damp sectioned hair before shampooing
*African Royale Daily Doctor- I use this almost everyday with a little water in a spray bottle on my twists- works fine.
* Parnevu Organic Hair Mayo- really thick consistency-cost @ the most $6
