[Jewell]

*Wet*
1. Infusium 23 Leave-In for colored/permed/relaxed hair (ALWAYS 1ST)
2. NTM Silk-Touch Leave-In (roots to ends)
3. Wild Growth Hair Oil to roots and scalp, and a little on ends

And when it has dried:

*Dry*
1. Nexxus Botanic Oil to body of hair and edges (2x daily)
2. Profectiv Healthy Ends to ends (2x daily)

That's it til the next CO wash or shampoo. I apply the Nexxus and Profectiv in the morning and brush through, and at night. If I'm not going anywhere, I just leave my hair pinned up and tied with a scarf to keep it moist. I only air dry, which is why I differentiated what I do to the wet hair and later to my hair when its dry.

[vangrey]

hi twin !!!!
-have you tried ntm ddc? (just wanna know b4 you buy the mask) most ppl like it better than the mask, but i the mask!!
-rusk does have the best leave-in!!! im thinking about trying the other fragance besides the passionflower.
-i have only been using the sulfur for the past 2 weeks. i really didnt buy it for hair growth...its just a nice grease to me. i can stand the smell, it is not that bad to me. besides after a day of wearing my hair down i cant even smell it btw i apply once a week...or whenever my scalp feels dry
- i use the mixture of healthy ends, ntm serum, and ntm leave-in after a day of wearing my hair down. i apply it to the middle and ends of my hair then wrap. i use it to tame the frizzies and keep my hair from wavying up on the ends.
-btw glad to see you got pics up... btw i got some nexxus biotin creme you can have to use in conjunction with the surge... pm me (its free)

 

[crml_buttafly]

[vangrey]

ntm ddc= daily deep conditioner (someone correct me if i am wrong)
sylver2 and some other ladies in the ntm users thread recommend it over the mask. (just dont want you to waste your money!) but i love the mask.. i understand its not for everyone though

[Cincysweetie]

Pooh, I was going to post this! I was wondering the same thing...

Shampoo, condition, Surge/EVOO mix on roots, essential oils, leave in conditioner, serum

I like to apply my oils first, especially before my leave-in conditioner. Then my serum last to help smooth and control the frizzies. And finally after my hair has dried some, moisturizer on my ends.

 

[Isis]

After washing and conditioning on wet hair, I apply:

Leave-in (Headress)
Oils (Aveda Anti-Humectant pomade)
Protection for ends (Constant Care for Ends)

I've learned that this is the best order. Putting on all oils after the leave-in seals in the moisture. My hair feels very moisturized until my next wash.

 

[candibaby]

I only use a leave in on my wet hair, unless I'm rollersetting then I spray a little oilsheen over the rollers.

 

[LABETT]

This order works best for me.
Shampoo
Condition
Leave in
Surge or Castor Oil
Sta So Fro or UBH moisturizer
Barry Fletcher Oil or Profectiv Healthy Ends on my ends

 

[winterinatl]

sometimes i clarify first...especially since I've been using lots of silicones
so, on a moisture day:
1) clarify
2)moisture shampoo(switch to protein conditioner on a protein day)
3)Moisturizing conditioner
4)NTM leave in
5)Fantasia Heat protectant serum - or any other that I like
6)Perm repair setting lotion (#5 and#6 really help detangle)

after a bit of drying has occurred:
7) WGO to roots, maybe length
8) homemade oil as needed

Super shine!!! Super soft!! And silky!
