Products that shouldn't be used consistently

[macherieamour]

Do you guys have any products that work only "once in a while"? I like my Hollywood Beauty Castor oil but its too heavy to use everyday. But once a week after a rollerset and my hair is soft for days!

Anyone have products that work best when they are NOT used consistently???

I kinda feel that way about my KeraCare Essential oil. I love that oil.... it smells so delish and is nice and light. However, like any other oil, if i use too much (while trying to wear my hair out) it totally weighs it down. Therefore, i'll apply it only minimally and not on an every day basis....

Pantene...good for when I have the tangles badly but never for daily co washing The buildup is brutal.

Hair serums. My hair does love cones, but using one of those everyday would kill my hair.

I have used this, and I loved it on my natural hair and also after I Maxiglided my hair. But I have to be careful, a little goes a long way.

Just about anything w/ cones. I just can't do it. My hair will become brittle and start breaking in a matter of days.

same here, even if I clarify. It takes a while for my hair to feel "normal" again.

I agree. CON makes my hair break.

I agree...I feel like my hair is on lockdown when using anything with heavy cones.

Well I can't use pantene and VO5 conditioner for co-washing everyday because my hair just can't take all of the silicone.

I can only use MNT conditioner for so many months and then it stops working. So I switch it up with one of my other favorites for a month and then go back to MNT. Even after clarifying, my hair needs a break from a product sometimes.

Wow now I know what a Cone is...silicone right?

I love MNT poo and con but it has too much protein for continued use.
Mizani Night Treatment--i use it every once and awhile because it smells like activator and is really heavy on my hair

Right, and it may come disguised .....just be on the lookout for any word in the ingredients ending in cone

Duo Tex for me. First time, worked great. Second time, my hair was ripe with breakage.

 

[Guyaneek]

Keracare Moisturizer w/ jojoba oil. I think its the mineral oil
