For those with Afro-(curly/coily)textured hair

[devinjhans]

i just totally changed my haircare regimen after joining the longhaircareforum site. I now use Kenra ms, mc, Redken hair cleansing cream, porosity control, aphogee treatment(every 6-8 wks as needed), nexxus keraphix, wild growth oil, ntm healing hair shine serum, elasta qp mango butter for hair ends, evoo for hot oil treatments and pre poo treatments. for conditioner washes i use pantene pro v relaxed and naturals for colored hair. I just started on Friday so we will see how all this works. My hair feels great and I haven't had a relaxer in 6 wks. I plan to wait another 6 wks to get a relaxer(if my hair allows it).

I also like the Redken hair cleansing cream and the porosity control conditioner. I alternate the Keracare and Design Essentials hair care lines. I relax every 8 weeks with Affirm.

My hair use to be dry until I found RUSK. Its a creamy leave in. I love it. Its called Rusk Smoother Aloe & Texturizing leave in conditioner.I usually get it from ULTA.

The Neutrogena Triple Moisture(NTM) line is a very good line for dry hair.

I love their Daily Deep conditioner and serum

Hey Devin, I've browsed the LHC forum before, can I ask you about this "pre poo" is this where you used products prior to shampooing, can you tell me more about the conditioner washes?

 

[LipglossQueen]

Pre-poo can be a hot oil treatment or something, I use either olive oil or amla oil as a hot oil treatment, another thing I really love is warmed honey and olive oil that makes my hair feel nice and soft and honey is a great humectant.

[LipglossQueen]

No problemo, I've never done a conditioner wash so I don't know much about it other than the fact it's meant to be a less harsh alternative to shampoo, some people really swear by it though.

I just tried a conditioner wash after "googling" methods and I have to tell you I won't go back to my old way, my hair is so soft it is amazing.

 

[mac-whore]

my hair is fairly thick. i have my ways of '' thinning it out '' and making it apear much more managable than it really is.

i realllly love this product called ''cholestoral ''. it's very in expensive and it's what i used to condition my hair. i also use alot of things for anti breakage because my hair breaks off veryyy easily and is color treated. olive oil works wonders for curly hair.

 

[devinjhans]

i'm sorry i didn't respond to your question sooner. thank you lipglossqueen for answering.

i found that i couldn't do the cw, b/c i am 9 weeks post right now and that is just too much handling of my hair.
