Who uses AOHSR as a leave-in/moisturiser?

[Austro-Afrikana]

Can you please tell me how much you are using and how it works for you, on both wet and dry hair?
Have you experienced moisture overload from using it in this way?

I use it after daily cowashings -about a quarter sized amount. Basically right after rinsing and while I'm still in the shower. I then clip into a bun and wear my 1/2 wig- I love how my hair smells hours later / In the evening, I make sure to check my moisture-protein balance to prevent moisture overload.

Do you use a quarter sized on your whole head or on each section?

I have used it as a leave-in, no more than about nickel-sized.

I use it after I henna on twists. I mix it with coconut butter, about a quarter size amount with about the same amount of coconut butter. I also use this mixture after cowashing and then I twist about 2-3x weekly. I do not have any build up so far. I have only been using this combination for about 3 weeks. I also clarify weekly before my henna treatment. I also have natural hair. HTH!!!

Anyone else?

I mix it with water until it is a runny consistency in an old AOHSR bottle and use it often as a moisturizer. I usually seal with coconut oil.

I use it on my natural hair as a leave-in on damp hair. Not too much or itll leave a white film.

I :heart2:AOHSR... It's one of my staples. I use it as a DC and leave-in. When used as a leave-in I apply about a nickel size amount to soaking wet hair while in the shower. I rub the nickel sized amount in my hands and apply it to my entire head. I use to think that a nickel size would not be enough of any product for me but with trial and error I found the best way to apply all of my leave-in and/or moisturizers --- in the shower with soaking wet hair! It works every time. My hair is soft, defined & moisturized! I water wash or co-wash my hair in the shower at least once or twice a day but ususally at night so I can put in 8 big twist and undo it in the morning. I haven't experienced any mositure overload; however, I do DC with both AOHR & APGPB 2x a week and alternate using AOHSR, SheaMoisture Shea Butter Leave In and Giovanni Direct Leave in for the leave in after getting out the shower -- so I have a mixture of both protein & moisture throughout the week.

I do. I like the HSR as a moisturizer and the WC as a deep conditioner. I do dilute it a bit, though, otherwise it would be too heavy for my hair.
