Your pre-LHCF hair care stash?

[ceebee3]

This is embarrassing, but before the forum, I didn't know the difference between a clarifying and a moisturizing shampoo or protein v. moisturizing conditioner...
(

It's not embarassing, I just found about clarifying this year. I finally figured out why my relaxers never straightened my hair, it was because I didn't use anything but let's jam and I had it caked up and didn't wash my hair before seeing the stylist to relax.

I had never clarified before. Looking back I can't belive it.

I didn't have a stash, my mother traveled a lot so I used a lot of those hotel shampoos and conditioners.

I used tcb grease, the black gel for a while then I upgraded to Let's Jamerplexed.

I used motions moisture plus sometimes and cholesterol any brand.

I never used leave ins or protectants or protein treatments. Sometimes I just would wash with shampoo and but my dry hair in a ponytail with some jam and call it a day.

My hair stayed at shoulder length.

I used the same stuff, Joico silk, Matrix sleek line, nexxus nothing has changed. I actually was doing better towards my hair, i'm loyal to my hair on and off takes too much time and energy sometimes.
alfaparf hair shine, sebastian hair shine, alter ego shine spray (now called bright and shine).

 

[KynniB]

[lesedi]

Any old shampoo and sometimes I'd use dishwashing soap if I ran out. No condish and definitely no oil cause I wanted that "white girl swang" smdh

Dishwashing soap huh?

 

[lesedi]

OMG!! When I first looked at your signature photo, I thought that was YOU. You should have seeeen the look on my face, I was thinking ...How did THAT happen???

 

[MummysGirl]

I actually wasn't doing too bad:
Keracare Hydrating shampoo
" Humecto Creme Con
" Super Reconstructor
" Oil Moisturizer
BUT

NO leave in conditioner and I used to blow dry my hair with the comb attachment without a heat protectant. I also only moisturised on wash day.

[clever]

nobody used these?

 

[SherylsTresses]

Pre-LHCF, I used the entire line of KeraCare because that's what my stylist used.

Pre-dedicated stylist, I used Pantene moisturizing shampoo only b/c it came in the largest container I could find. I DC with cholesterol with heat for about 30 minutes and always rollerset with Lottabody setting lotion, Infusium-23 and sat under the bonnet dryer. I moisturized with Lusters Pink Lotion also.

It always grew to MBL and I'd cut to SL. My hair was always very thin and damaged as I was getting those retouches every 6 weeks. erplexed I'm so thankful for LHCF.

 

[clever]

HUSH GIRL!!!! That's my favorite gel to this day!

Blue Magic hair grease if it smelled kinda nice it was fine by me
Organic Source coconut shampoo/conditioner which was good
Sof n free hair gel
Organic root stimulator olive oil hair glossing polisher
Lusters pink hairspray. (why did i say it ok to buy it)
Profective long n healthy hair strengthner (also good)
Profective healthy ends thing (also good i think it was the profective that salvage my hair a lot)

 

[angenoir]

1) Motions - Moisturizing DC, CPR, Relaxer, Shampoo and conditioning headdress (I still like the CPR and Silk protein from this line)
2) TCB Hairfood grease
3) African Pride grease (I seriously thought this would make my hair grow)erplexed
4) Palitas (for use when I was in braids) - this wasnt too bad actually, really kept my hair seriously moisturized!

 

[MilkChocolateOne]

nobody used these?

nope, I never liked grease. I started to do my own hair at age 11 and i never used grease. jam made my face greasy and shiny. pink oil was too greasy and it made my hair dry and oily.

 

[ellebelle88]

I didn't really have a stash. But the few things that I do remember having is grease, pink oil moisturizer, and that pump it up spritz. Oh and before LHCF, I NEVER used to wash my hair, except when I went to the hairdresser to get it relaxed, which was about every 4 months or so. Crazy, I KNOW!!

BB Super Gro
Isoplus oil sheen

I didn't really have a "stash" I just used whatever was in the house there was this spray though it came in a clear bottle that made pressing my hair "easier" can't remember what it's called

 

[Ashleescheveux]

LOL

I had Carrot Oil moisturizer
Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Shampoo

AND A FLAT IRON ON HEAVY ROTATION.

Thank God I was a natural then, my hair didnt break off at all. It was in braids and grew amazingly, in about a year and a half it was shoulder length. But the last time I had a relaxer before the natural hair I used Pink Oil and Garnier Fructis shampoo and that was it. Of course my hair all fell out lol
