Co-washing and using sulfate free shampoo. My scalp was so mad at me.

Oil doesn't seem to do anything for sealing moisture on my hair as well. Sometimes I'm too lazy to put oil in and I don't see a difference. The only time I have is when I sealed with a butter. Does your hair prefer butter?

I don't actually think this but I always feel like styling my hair is such a waist of time while I'm doing it. It feels like so much time is being taken out of my life. I always ask myself why am I doing this, lol. Then I think how the heck am I going to manage waist length hair.

Heavy protein treatments. (think Aphogee 2 step or Dudley's DRC 28).
Making my own products.
Washing my hair in sections. Now conditioning I'm fine with, but I've realized the washing portion isn't necessary when I've been protective styling (my hair is still detangled) and adds a lot of time on wash day.

Hot oil treatments. I can't be bothered with those anymore. Heating up the oil in the microwave, and then applying the oil to my head just took too much time. Prepooing overnight was too time consuming too. Although hot oil treatments and prepooing benefited my hair, I hated having to do these extra steps on wash day. I don't even like putting protein on my hair on wash days because I know I have to follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. Sometimes I cheat and mix the two together, so that I don't have to keep jumping in and out the shower.

Maybe you should give Audrey's GPB conditioner a try instead

GPB is actually my go to protein conditioner, but I've never tried it alone. Now that you mention it my hair is never hard immediately after using GPB, maybe I could skip the moisturizing conditioner.
Thanks!

Hi I always use it alone lol. And I have never had moisture or protein overloadGPB is actually my go to protein conditioner, but I've never tried it alone. Now that you mention it my hair is never hard immediately after using GPB, maybe I could skip the moisturizing conditioner.
But say god forbid we ever did we could always do a deep moisturizing conditioner afterwards

ITA...my hair retains moisture very well just using my water-based cream moisturizer (Darcy's Botanicals Coconut Lemongrass Transitioning Creme). No oil, or butter for me

My hair is normal porosity. I don't think I need to seal moisture in because my hair doesn't have an issue retaining it in the first place. Omg it's all making sense now lol. I'll stick with my butter but only when I need to do twist outs and stuff for extra hold. Not a fan of gel on the length of my hair. What do you use on your twist outs or whatever?
