Loc'ing Up!
:wave:

I am trying to come up with some basic products to get myself started with a good hair care regimen. However, I'm having trouble pinning down the basics. So I am asking everyone what their basic products are:

Clarifying Poo
Moisturizing Poo
Deep Conditioner
Protein Conditioner
Leave In
Heat Protectant
Moisturizer (daily) (I am looking for something that wouldn't weigh my hair down, as I like to wear my hair down a lot.)
Oils (I think I am good in this area.)

I am relaxed, not sure on hair type, but any input would be good. If this thread has already been started, someone point me in the right direction! :yep:
 
I'm a natural 4a/4b.

Clarifying Shampoo: V05 Kiwi Lime Squeeze Clarifying Shampoo

Moisturizing Shampoo: I'm still looking. I tried the Hydratherma Naturals Moisture boosting shampoo and it does moisturize, but I'm looking for a sulfate-free one because I think the sulfates have been drying my hair out badly. I have some CON in the red bottle that I'm going to try.

Deep Conditioner: Karen's Body Beautiful Deep Conditioner

Protein Conditioner: Aphogee 2-Min. and Aubrey's GPB

Leave-In: Jane Carter Solution Revitalizing Leave-In

Heat Protectant: I'm kind of still working on this too. I have some V05 Miracle Mist here, but I don't think I'm going to use it again because it made my hair instantly hard when I tried it before. The Fantasia IC serum is pretty good. I have some generic Chi Silk Infusion that I haven't tried yet.

Moisturizer: Hydratherma Naturals Daily Moisturizing Growth Lotion and Jane Carter Solution Hair Nourishing Cream. A little goes a long way for both of them. Since you are relaxed, I think you'd fare better with the Hydratherma Naturals Lotion because it is lighter, and it penetrates the hair better.
 
Clarifying Poo: Wen Fig
Moisturizing Poo: dont use any
Deep Conditioner:Pantene Relaxed & Natural, Mane & Tail Deep Conditioner,Wen Fig
Protein Conditioner: I have not found a good one yet
Leave In:Paul Mitchell The Conditioner
Heat Protectant: Nexxus
Moisturizer :Qhemet Root Burdock Butter(its verylight)
Oils (I think I am good in this area.)
 
Entire KeraCare Line
EVOO, EVCO
Nexxus Phyto Organics Humectin conditioner as a daily moisture on dry hair


ETA:
Protein conditioner - Mix an egg with ORS Hair Mayo
