Hello Everyone,

I am new to LHCF! I would like to know what everyone uses and what they recommend. Just answer the questions that apply to you:

Hi and welcome to longhaircareforum. I recently rated all the products I use and got rid of the ones that scored C- or less. I had some conditioners that I gave a C+, I took Macherieamours' advice and use them as a pre poo now. I underlined the products I would recommend

Natural or Relaxed? Natural (1 yr)

Hair Type? 3b/4a/4b

Pre-shampoo? I use Brazil Nut from the Body Shop, I rated this A+ and think it's one of the best pre poos out there. It's a very thick texture though. I also use a Shea Butter mask by Frederic Fekkai which also has a thick texture but works wonders on my hair.

Co-Wash? n/a

Shampoo? I now shampoo with a mild, organic rosemary shampoo for dry hair.

Clarifying Shampoo? I use one by Frederic Fekkai that has apple cider vinegar in it, I only use it once a month though because it's pretty strong. I honestly wouldn't recommend it for biweekly use.

Conditioner? a detangling conditioner that I rated A+ because of its detangling abilities, it's cheap and smells wonderful. It's one by Corine de Farme and has sweet almond oil in it.

Deep Conditioner? Ojon restorative treatment I also rated this product A+, great great product, expensive though

Protein Treatment? Protein RX by Frederic Fekkai

Leave-In Conditioner? Black Vanilla leave-in conditioner by Carol's Daughter

Daily Moisturizer? home made recipe that I got from www.motowngirl.com

Essential Oil? lavender, peppermint oil, rosemary oil

Hot Oil Treatment? olive oil

Favorite Low To No Heat Style? wash n go, Afro or bun
