Products for smoothing/softening new growth

[northernbelle]

I am looking for a good product for smoothing/softening/moisturizing new growth.

What do you use? I am looking for a product which won't produce a great deal of build-up.

Thanks in advance!

Me too, nb. its time for retouch; but I'd really like to try this extended retouch thing everyone raves about. HELP

Well, I'm not relaxed, but if I were (lol) I would probably use a mixture of coconut oil and castor oil or wildgrowth oil.

castor oil

You all know what I'm going to say...Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter. It's made my transitioning SO much easier!

 

[NYCchild]

Wild growth oil does it for me. Try it.

Castor oil has been doing the trick for me.

I'm just starting the castor oil. I heard refined coconut oil is good too. And must check out Hairlove's Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter.

I'm gonna get smacked for this but UBH's Creame Moisturizer has done a really nice job on my newgrowth as well.

Does anyone use the root health throughout the whole length of the hair? I did a couple days ago and it felt ok when I put it on but after it dried it my hair was very matted

I've also used MegaGrowth (last year) but I don't remember it making my hair matted or tangled.

Sheabutter ...try mixing it with a little serum. WHen I use this and the curling iron to straighten, my newgrowth "appears" to be relaxed.

Wow! Thank you, ladies, for the great suggestions.

Now, all I have to do is decide which product to use!

That's a good tip...I've never tried that before.

the castor oil didn't work for me. all it did was leave my hair feeling coarse and dry. I wonder why?

 

[Tebby1017]

Maybe if you heated it or mixed it with another product (ie leave in, cream moisturizer) it would work a little better.

I love the Profectiv Root Health. I only use it on the new growth.
