I use the Loreal Nature's Therapy shampoo for my daughter and I deep condition her hair with a mixture of Tea Tree Oil cholesterol, olive oil, and coconut oil. Then I tried the cholesterol mixed with honey. That was by far the best deep conditioning treatment that I have used on her.
When I don't deep condition, I use Pantene's Hydrating Curls conditioner or Dove intensive moisturizing conditioner. Both are excellent.
For every day moisturizing, I use Lustrasilk's Moisture Max. It has mineral oil in it, but it really does a wonderful job. I usually spritz her hair on a daily basis with a mixture of water and Organic Root Simulator's Nature's Shine which is a mixture of light oils.
Her daily style alternates between afro puffs which she loves because all I do is finger pick it with my hands full of moisturizer. NO COMBING THE FRO WHEN DRY.
I really like UBH creme moisturizer, but it is expensive and I probably won't order any more since I found the Lustrasilk again. I'm in the middle of transitioning and I just recently picked up the BB hair lotion with castor oil. It is wonderful.
I also say Sta Sof Fro, but I had to stop using the spray on my daughter because I couldn't stand the smell. Can anyone tell me whether the SSF in the tube smells the same as the spray? That is a great detangler.
I've done the box braids on half of my daughter's hair. I was too lazy to do the top half so I just put it in one big ponytail poof and then put the poof into 8-10 twists. Each day, I would moisturize the braids and the twists. If you click on the hair photo link in my signature, you can see the style. But I wouldn't recommend the small braids that I did. That was a nightmare to take out.
Right now, her hair is in cornrows that meet in the middle of her head so that I can just put a ponytail holder on it with 3 braids hanging down to give her the idea that her hair is partially down.
