Still trying to figure out my staple products after YEARS b/c I don't wear my hair down but Mizani H2O nightime seems to work the best. Hawaiin Silky is great under weaves.
Silk Elements MegaCholesterol or Keracare Humecto for moisture. But get best results maintaining moisture with Wave Nouveau daily sealed with Castrol Oil.
DCing 2x a week is what gave me noticeable improvement in my hair, that was before I owned a steamer. Now I DC 1x per week.
I always follow DCing with some kind of leave-in, no matter how I'm gonna style my hair, unless I'm trying to see the naked truth on the condition of my hair without any products.
OP, if your hair isn't retaining any moisture from your DC, you may need to add a protein product and a porosity control product. Your cuticles may be damaged. Protein will fill in the weak spots and make your hair receptive to moisture and the PC will close the cuticle down and trap moisture in the hair.
My hair loves DCing... I do it twice a week. When I slack off on it I can feel the difference, it takes more moisturizing and sealing on a daily basis to keep it feeling right.
When I'm DCing regularly I pretty much only use my homemade "juice" w/o sealing and that's PLENTY.
My hair loves it when I cowash weekly... DC (just for 30 minutes) each week has also been great. Throughout the week I either use HE LTR Leave-In or NTM Triple Moisture leave in and seal with coconut oil daily. But yeah.... water is my friend so that's probably why i've been cowashing soooooooo much this summer
