Suggestions for hair softener

[jyonce]

I'm wondering what people have found to be helpful to soften their hair...I guess a moisturizer, but I want my curls to be soft...I just bought Carol's Daughter hair butter, but I'm not as impressed as I thought I'd be.

Coconut oil and using honey in your conditioners. Cond washes make my hair very soft too.

jyonce-we have similar hair and unfortunately, i have not found anything yet that will help my curls dry softly. they will still be defined, but are hard and stiff. and, putting stuff on after it dries never works for me. i'll keep an eye on this thread just in case someone else has suggestions.

Thanks to both of you! Yes, swirl...I love my curls, but I just wish they wouldn't be so dry...I do conditioner washes all of the time, but once my hair dries, it looks thirsty

I like Elasta QP's Mango Butter and PM Foaming pomade. The latter adds a lot of shine.

Shea butter and/or jojoba have done it for me.

the best thing for my dry hair/ends, was a glycerine and water mixture. Also, you may want to try to add small amounts of olive oil and almond oil. Good luch.

I use a combination for my curls to dry soft. I use suave milk & honey conditioner as a leave in, a bit of Salerm 21, a light serum like NTM or Pantene. My curls come out very soft w/o any crunch at all.

What also helps my curls stay soft is doing an overnight conditioning treatment the day before. I use Nexxus Humectress to do this and my hair looks and feels very soft and my hair seems shinier as well. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I like the way pantene Relaxed & Natural oil cream moisturizer makes my hair feel. It's very softening.

I've been usinga combination of castor oil, coconut oil and wildgrowth oil on my new growth, this the second time that I am transitioning and I noticed that my new growth is alot softer than before.

I use Elucence Shampoo and Conditioner when I am 6 weeks post relaxer along with Sta-So Fro and I can easily comb thru my newgrowth.

I bought John Freida Dream Curls yesterday and I used it today for the first time-I am very happy with the results...although it wasn't great on my new growth-so the search continues

castor oil alone softens and thickens my hair like nobody's business...

 

[Poohbear]

leave-in conditioner when wet and oil sheen spray when dry

Salerm 21. Guaranteed, your hair might be too soft if you use too much.
