I think I'm the Phyto queen. I swear I need stock, b/c you know it ain't cheap!!! Since joining LHCF and getting texturized, I've used shampoo less and less, but condition wash every 2-3 days. I have 3 Phyto products that I will NEVER be without, they are:
1. Phytodefrisant Hair Straightening Balm (Eventhough I don't wear my hair straight anymore, it detangles and makes your hair more managable than ever! If you do wear it straight it's bouncy and super healthy looking. Every time I use it I'm impressed.)
2. Phytophanere (A great all around supplement, it even helped my skin! It doesn't claim to increase the hair growth rate, but it based on my body hair rate increase... it MUST!!
)
3. Any Phyto conditioner (I use Phytosesame and Phytobaume along w/Aubrey's GPB or Nexxus Humectress. Phytobaume is the lighter of the two and I think it's too light for my hair to use alone. I use Phytosesame when I want something heavier. I'm firmly attached b/c the Phyto conditioners have a detangler that really works (mallow, I believe) and that's saying alot b/c my hair is thick and it used to take me 30-40 mins to detangle. Now I can comb through in minutes w/o making sections and my shedding is minimal.)
As for the shampoo, I use Phytojoba. A stylist recommended the Phytospecific Optimal Hydration Shampoo, but it's hard to find. Phytospecific is the line that caters to black hair, so I'm sure it's most beneficial. I also use other products, like the Phyto 9, which is cool, but I started using natural oils and mango butter. I probably won't purchase it again. It does have a certain detangling property, but for the cost I don't find it that superior.
I also use some other products by Aveda and Nexxus (I'm a PJ too!) but I use Phyto stuff more than anything else.
I have to post some pics, I know. I'm taking my roll of film in this week.
