I have two suggestions for you (not exactly what you’re looking for , but it’ll help you):

1. Find your “hair twin” first and take notes of the products that work for her and why.
2. Once you know those products, keep a hair journal, meaning, every time your hair comes out looking/feeling amazing WRITE EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, to the T, from the product you used to the technique you did, to the state of your hair before and after your procedure. It’ll take you some time, but that way you’ll know exactly what to do and when; you’ll never look back again.

That’s what a good reggy is all about

I came in looking for advice, lol. My regi isn't that serious BUT the products that i'm currently using are very good at moisturizing. I use Hair One Cleansing Conditioner (Generic Win) and Yes to Carrots conditioner. Olive Oil also helps my hair A LOT. No other advice for you :-/

I live in a very wet, cool climate but I'll try.

You could use honey mixed with unsweetened coconut cream and add your favorite commercial conditioner and use this as a leave in every night and baggy with this. After co-washing maybe each morning you could use Aloe Vera gel or juice and add an oil to seal or mix these two ingredients with another commercial moisturizer or styling product (like Jane Carter's Nourish and Shine?) as a daily moisturizer? erplexed

I mentioned Jane Carter products because I noticed that in the ingredients list a lot of her stuff is low on glycerin. I don't know about cones though. Not sure what those are.
I don't know anything about hot, dry climates and hard water issues so I'm just flying by the seat of my pants.

Are you saying someone who has the same enviromental situation? Or the same hair type? Details please and Thank you.

I live in a dry climate and every night I baggy with Taliah Waajid protective mist bodifier.

 

[Ebonybunny]

my climate isnt the same, but my hair is o.d dry, and baggying with scurl, and coconut oil has been great

 

[loveisnthehouse]

My climate is different than yours, but something that has been working WONDERS for my hair is adding Brahmi powder to a cheapie conditioner and DCing for an hour. After the second time doing that, my hair felt like butter.

I'm a type 4 natural that lives in a desert climate (southern cali).

Unless you're willing to wash your hair with bottled water, I suggest you limit wetting your hair to once a week to avoid the hard water. Also, get a chelating shampoo and make sure to use it at least once a month to counteract the mineral deposits that may be left on your hair from the hard water (that buildup leads to dryness and breakage). I've also read that using bentonite clay can take the place of a chelating shampoo, but I don't know if that's a "fact" so you should research it as an alternative.

Additionally, you may find it beneficial to use a regular heavy conditioner as your leave-in when airdrying. My hair stays moisturized much longer that way. LadyPaniolo does that as well and you can see how it works for her (read her regimen at her blog).

My dd is a natural with type 4c hair (tightly coiled, spongy-texture). We live in Florida where there is serious Hard water, which took a serious toll on her hair (we are from VA). I have found through different products the following work the best with keeping her hair moisturized. Here is her weekly regimen:


Wash with Giovanni Triple Treat Tea Tree Shampoo
Condition with Giovanni Smooth as Silk Conditioner
Aphoghee pro-vitamin leave in
Aphoghee kerating green tree reconstructor

Every other week I use swimmers shampoo to remove hard water buildup
Every other week I used Aphoghee 2 min reconstructor with plastic cap

Styling products
Giovanni Direct leave-in- great sheen and moisture
Organic unrefined Shea butter mix with organic coconut oil-very moisturizing
Miss Jessies curly pudding- I love the sheen and smell also very moisturizing

I alternate one of the above styling products for her 2 strand twist on wet hair and let it air dry overnight. I sometimes blow dry her hair about 80% so she can keep her length as she has SERIOUS shrinkage. Her current length is touching the shoulder but with shrinkage its about ear length.

HTH

Correct! You should find the person who represents your ultimate goal. Is that someone whose hair type and enviroment is the same as yours and is you inspiration, whether it is length or health that you desire. Consult your problem areas with her and find out whether or not she found the solution to that problem. In other words, if your hair is dry find out what products and/or techniques helped her solved that problem. Give that a try and if you liked the outcome make it your staple product, if you didn’t, notice why you didn’t like it so you’ll stay away from those same ingredients in other products (or the product itself) or technique. Same goes with any other problem area you’re trying to tackle, just do it one at a time so you know for sure what works or not. Once you discover how your hair reacts to certain products, it’s easy to experiment and be successful. HTH!

Hi! I also live in a city with "that bad water", lol. My climate is very hot and humid, though. Here's some staple products that I've discovered give me soft hair:

Products:
GE shower filter-(costs 20 bucks at Home Depot, and the refill cartridges are 10. My hair feels like utter crap without it, causing me to have to clarify more often.
Aubrey Organics White Camellia Conditioner- Smooths my hair like nobody's business, especially when my filter is up to snuff.
ACV and Baking Soda- These products clarify my hair when I have mineral build-up and nothing I do is making my hair soft.
Alba Botanica Leave-in Conditioner- Very creamy and moisturizing
Avocado Oil: Makes my hair feel softer
Coconut oil: Makes my hair feel smoother
Castor Oil: I use a bit of this mixed with avocado oil and coconut oil to massage my scalp twice a week, then I comb it through to my lengths and it gives it softness and smoothness, plus makes it feel more moisturized when my hair is dry.

Honorable Mention
Everyday Shea Conditioner: Gives absolutely no slip when wet, but when my hair dries it feels very moisturized. I just don't like the lotiony feel. Also makes my hair clump slightly.

I've been using WEN and love it.

My hair and I are much happier.

 

[leigh.hill]

I live in a humid, warm climate, but the part of my regi that I love is before I co-wash I mix together, equal parts coconut oil, olive oil, with a little honey, and conditioner. I put the mix on my hair, exercise, then co-washing with Trader Joe's conditioner.

 

[darlingdiva]

I suspect that I have hard water, too, so I boil water, let it cool, and then use it to wash my hair.

Also, ACV rinses (or Roux Porosity Control) may help your hair. I do an ACV & honey rinse after washing & conditioning my hair.

Lastly, I agree w/ Vashti about the Jane Carter Solution products b/c they have a low-glycerin content.

 

[hair4romheaven]

I live in a dry climate and every night I baggy with Taliah Waajid protective mist bodifier.

I came in to mention this product & baggy with it 3x a week. My hair stays moisturized .

 

[HairSupremacy]

I co-wash 3 times per week, and DC at least twice a week. I baggy my ends every night before bed.
