What do you use - That doesn't seem to get mentioned??

[Suri]

IC Moisturizing Treatment. I soak my buns in it every night (umm, that doesn't sound right).

lol...well I am sure your buns loove the moisture.

I use Keracare Oil Moisturizer with Jojoba Oil.

I LOVE Mane n' Tail Daily (Hair Strengthener)Leave In Conditioning Treatment. Very good product that I don't think I have ever seen on the boards.

I saw these on sickbay not too long ago and they looked pretty interesting. Which of the 2 do you prefer?

I really like the Jaborandi. It really softens the hair, but adds strength as well. It really makes my scalp feel healthy and isn't heavy at all. It's very easy to detangle after using this one - and anytime I my hair feels a bit questionable to the touch, I slap on this conditioner with EVOO and honey for an hour or so and my life is much better!

When I want to add shine, I use the Lisshidrat. It has a lot of cones in it, so I don't really consider it a deep conditioner. When I wear my hair curly or wavy, I like to use it because the curls come out really smooth and not frizzy at all.

ETA:
OYIN's Greg Juice
I LOOOVE this product - and I use this to moisturize my buns, to refresh curls and waves, to treat my scalp if it feels a little dry. I love the fact that it's all natural and the tingle on the scalp is great. It's very moisturizing, but it doesn't dry with a film.

Jane Carter Solution Nourishing Cream
I like the new cream formulation much better than the original version. The tub lasts forever, smells great, and just a dab will take care of frizzies, flyaways and add shine/moisturize.

Biolage Shaping Cream
I use this to smooth back a bun on the first day. This creamy pomade doesn't get hard, but it does hold your hair very well. I also use it at night if I choose to retwist or rebraid. In the morning my hair comes out super soft and touchable, but still holding the style all day.

You know what, I've heard alot of people don't like this shampoo because of the cones but I need those cones. I can't use too many shampoos. KeraCare Detangling & this one are the only two that detangle my hair. And now I don't even use KeraCare at all.

I love Breakthru Shampoo!

That's okay b/c it just leaves more for us to use! j/k Seriously, I don't have any problems w/ it, at all.

Does it really speed up hair growth? Does it moisurize or strengthen? Where do you buy it?

 

[Candy_C]

where is this sold at???

hi i get it from the asian hair stores

Ingredients: Petrolatum/Quinine Sulphate/Olive Oil/Perfume/Fragrence

the quinine i have researched, didn't find much but i found out its a sulphur deritive that people with muscle pains use as a topical treatment and also tablet form. its very tingly on the scalp.

It did actually work to speed up my hair growth, not as much as the MTG (I dont' think anything can compete with that). It DEFINITELY MOISTURIZES AND STRENGTHENS AND THICKENS!! I order it directly from Eqyss Online.

You can also get it at some pet stores (yeah, yeah, I know but it IS MARKETED FOR HUMAN USE AS WELL SO THERE!)

Clairol's Texture & Tones relaxer
Salerm Wheat Germ Mask

Yay! another wheat germ mask fan!

 

[Brownchiq]

Kemi Oyl- was popular back in the day



Paul Mitchell Foaming Pommade

Both of these are hot!
Kemi oyl is so light and moisturizing
PM foaming pommade is great for wash and goes
Indigo Lustre glow is so softening and moisturizing

 

[shawniegee]

Salerm Wheat Germ Oil Moisturizing Mask. It's great softening deep conditioner. I know some people here use it but I haven't seen them on the boards lately.

I love Salerm Wheat Germ too!! To bad they don't make a big giant tub though! It used to be mentioned a lot when I first came to the hair boards. It's kind of pricey though.

This stuff looks like a keeper! So Candy C how do you use it on your hair and how often? Daily on your scalp or all over for moisturization too?

hey, it really is a keeper, something thats ALWAYS in my hair tub!

i dont use it near as much as i should! when my hair is set (like 3 days dirty lol) i would make four sections either side of my head and oil the scalp and run the excess through my hair and do 4 twists either side. the trick is a little goes a very long way. only time i had probs was when i used it on my hair every day, it would weigh it down. this stuff is good in the summer as your hair stays moisturized and the heat seems to activate it. do NOT blowdry with this tho, the moisture quickly dissolves under intense heat. i would use it on the scalp no more than every other day to prevent build up. it works fast to stimulate growth, and its growth that you can clearly see!

Thanks girlie for sharing. I want to try something new for my scalp aside from MTG to help stimulate as much growth as I can. When I do get ahold of this product I will only use it like 3 times a week like you suggested to avoid build-up which wouldn't be too cute since I am working out everyday now....your hair looks fabulous! So much growth in 9 months... Were you using this when you started geowing your hair out? You'll be at tail bone for sure at the end of the year.

Indigo Lustre glow is so softening and moisturizing

I love this product. Hardly no one knows about Indigo products. I never see it mention here. I use the relaxer...best one I've ever had at a salon. I also have the shampoo and moisture blend conditioner but I like the deep penetrating conditioner much better.

Liquid Castille Soap(not dr. bonner's)
Castor Oil
Palm Oil

That's about it on my list- all of these work great on my natural 3c/4a thick, full, medium tex. hair.

oh my the shipping and handling cost just as much as the product does...and thats just for regular shipping..i wonder if i could find this in a BSS...i think im going to hold off and look to see if i can find it first before ordering it...

Candy_C i saw ur album this looks like a real keeper i hope so because right now im not really able to use anything because i have a sewin and want something to at least apply to my scalp and by the time i take my sewin out to see some improvement and hope....
