Right now my hair is really liking Oyin Handmade's Whipped Butter.

It has the consistency of ice cream. I know that's insane, but I really like the texture of this product. It's thick enough yet light.

I guess so huh? I really wanted commericial conditioners and leave ins to work for me, but they would always leave my hair feeling dry. I am very glad however that I found my staples.................after a year and a half of searching. Anyways, about those acv rinses, I'v been thinking about trying one of those myself. What do they do exactly?

Definitely natural / cone free type conditioners and leave ins.

I realized this 4 years ago when the only conditioners that worked for me that I really liked was Elucence MB and Kenra MC. I used those two exclusively for quite some time along w/Giovanni leave in conditioner. This combo left my hair soft and fairly moisturized.

Fast forward, now I use Karen's Body Beautiful Hair Nectar as a leave in and it's beautiful as well, I like it better than the Giovanni. For conditioners, while I still have Kenra MC, I've been using Giovanni Moisturizing Conditioner mixed w/ Aubrey Organics HSR and this mixture is so rich and gives my hair much needed moisture. I also love her mask conditioner, it is pricey but it is soo worth it for my hair. When I comb it out I have very minimal hair that comes out and my hair feels a little stronger. I have to suck it up and buy it b/c I feel it's worth it.

I cannot use V05 or even 90% of the things mentioned on this board, thru trial and error I know what will work for me, and that's cone free conditioners w/ a lot of emollients. Ex: If I wanted to go the cheaper route, the Yes to Carrots Conditioner works for me too

Today as I got a wash and set, the hairdresser kept complimenting me on how soft my hair is, she said a lot of customers need help but my hair is good, I know what I'm doing

So in short I could not live w/o:

-Karen's Body Beautiful hair milk and Hair Nectar
-Karen's Body Beautiful Luscious Locks Mask
-Aubrey Organics HSR mixed w/ Giovanni 50/50 moisturizing conditioner
-Giovanni Tea Tree conditioner.... this is such a great rinse out conditioner, I am on my 2nd bottle of their liter size conditioner. It's excellent as a rinse out and to use as a detangler, or for a quick wash, or a conditioner wash. Drug store conditioners pale in comparison to this, and it's cheap too . I'm realizing that I can mix Aubrey HSR along w/ the Giovanni Tea Tree conditioner too for excellent results, so I don't have to rebuy their 50/50 conditioner .

The jist, I know what type of products work for my hair and how to play around with it. My hair also never gets tired of anything I've listed above, their is no build up, no problems, just soft and very moisturized hair. It took me 3 years on this board to 'get it' now I'm good .
