[La Colocha]

My staples are

Avocado butter and Hempseed butter- I use these to seal in the moisture i found out about these in the archives when i was lurking. These leave my hair very soft for a few days. Much love to the ladies who started those threads.

I want some samples of somethings so i might be back to add on.

ojon mist: love this just as much as my PM mist
coconut oil: do i even have to explain
vatika oil: feels so damn good on my hair and scalp with its warm and i do an oil rinse

ORS replenishing pack: nothing is better than this
carols daughter hair balm: soft delicious amazing hair. i use this to seal

That ORS is the bomb isn't it? I wandered far away from it during my stretch of PJness. I came back to it with 5 inches of new natural hair and LOVED it...to think I was forsaking it because I was afraid of protein

My condish.
It has changed my hair completley.

Sui. You are silly.

PM me... OK???????

Ummm, errrrh, ahhhh...., Can I get in line behind Sui please??

I want to be on the early adopter's list for your condish!

 

[*Muffin*]

Aubrey Organic's Honeysuckle Rose Conditioner-Because it leaves my hair smelling delicious and feeling ultra soft, smooth, and looking shiny.

Aubrey Organic's GPB-Best protein treatment I ever had, even better than that Aphogee treatment that stinks, in my opinion .

Honorable Mention:

Giovanni Smooth as Silk Conditioner-I love this conditioner...before they changed the ingredients. The old ingredients were . The new one has some questionable ones . As you may have guessed I really like for my hair products to be as natural as possible, and I don't dig ingredient changes that make the ingredients lower in quality. But that was the best rinse-out condish I ever used .

 

[WriterGirl]

It took me a while to find my staples, but thanks to the lovely LHCF divas, I think I'm set.

Elasta QP creme condition shampoo (no SLS and CHEAP)
ORS Pak (I love this stuff, tha bomb!)
Elasta QP Intense
Chi Silk Infusion

Elasta QP Mango Butter (for NG and edges)
Elasta QP Oil Recovery Moisturizer

Nexxus Emergencee (protein treatment first wash after relaxer)
Redken Cleansing Cream (chelate/clarify shampoo)

These items are have helped strengthen my hair so I could retain length. Keeps my hair moisturized and healthy.

 

[LivingDol1]

I love Carol's Daughter Tui Hair Oil. It is super light and smells amazing.

I feel like I should have more staples but I think I'm still figuring out which products are working for my hair. I switch between Aveda's Smooth Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner, and my Nexxus Therappe Shampoo most often. Nexxus Headress Leave in Conditioner is a must for me as well.

 

[kamillya14]

Just discovered coconut oil yesterday...Love it! I can't wait to try it out on as a pre-poo, and other suggestions I've received from the board!

 

[lila_baby]

pre-poo: something with coconut oil right now it's dabur vatika oil
shampoo: I've got so many to finish but I'm sticking with elasta QP creme conditioning shampoo (right now with NG it is better than a LOT of my conditioners at getting me detangled)
leave in: glycerine (best non-greasy bling and moisture)

 

[NappturalWomyn]

Aubrey Organics HSR and QB OHHB: It's getting through this acid winter in Jersey.
Started using Parachute coconut oil on my scalp and to pre-poo/seal. Love it.
Trying to use as few products as possible.
So:
Prepoo-Parachute
Shampoo-CV Bars
Co-wash-TJ Nourish
Deep Condition-Mix of egg, olive oil, honey, with old didn't really work for me Giovanni
conditioner as a base
Styling-AO HSR/QB OHHB or AO WC/Coconut oil

The less I am using, the better my hair looks. Finally...
