Mango Butter is good but I also like to use Carrot Creme or Organics Olive Oil Moisturizer. Have you tried the baggie method yet??

My frizzy ends came as a result of flipping them under with a flat iron, bending under with a scrunchie, etc. For the most part, they're fine, but I always wondered what would help them out.

I tried flipping my ends out today. They look fabulous. They feel silky and my hair looks healthy. Even more so when you consider by a hairdresser's schedule, it's time for me to get another relaxer. My hair looks so nice today that if I didn't know me, I'd think, 'That chick's wearing a wig.'

I think that I might look for some mango butter or cocoa butter today, though. I like my carrot oil, but variety is always a good thing.

Msmiz,

The baggie method is when you saturate the ends of your hair in your favorite moisturizer and oils then putting it into a bun and covering it with a little plastic baggie to protect them. I usually do this at night and my ends come out extremely moisturized and soft. It cuts down on the amount of trims you need also.

Can you do the baggie method before you wash your hair or should it be done after?

You can do the baggie method whenever you need to. It works either way. If you do it before and after, its fine. I think it depends more on the type of moisturizers and oils that work on your ends. One girl I know puts Vaseline on her ends and they work great but for me it's too heavy. I use carrot oil and carrot creme with great results.

If your hair is short (not long enough for a bun or pony tail) how would you do the baggy method.

A drop of Evoo follwed by a small amount of a creamy leave-in or moisturizer like Nexxus Humectress or Organic Root Stimulator Carrot Oil on damp hair works for me.

To everyone who has used it: Do you find that Elasta QP Mango Butter is lighter than Shea Butter?

To Bri, I'm not sure. I have heard of some girls sleeping with a plastic cap on but for me, it made my scalp sweat so I'm not quite sure.

Yes, the mango butter is lighter than shea butter. The mango butter is like a lotion and shea butter is much thicker and greasier.

Very seldom do I use a blow dryer or flat iron even though I have every product to have. I found going back to the good old magnetic rollers and end papers are best. And I trim my ends every month. In between I use Sheer Blond dream cream, believe me it is a great thing. My hair is very dry so the ends were always a problem. Not anymore It actually made me think about something about black hair products but that is another story. I found the carrot and the olive oil products always dried my hair out. They looked good for a day or so but then it dried my hair out.

My sis, Cinnamon, does the baggie method and her ends are really smooth and soft.  I will try this at night from now on.

I like ORS olive oil, S-Curl, and coconut oil to seal on the ends.  Mango butter is good too!

My ends are like butter baby.   I've been doing the "Plastic Baggie Method" for about 4-5 days now and my ends are healthy and shiny. 

Thanks HoneyDoo

I find that Profectiv Healthy Ends, Cantu Shea Butter, and Dabur Vatika Oil are the bomb on my ends! I like Elasta QP Mango Butter on my ends too, but only on wet hair, because IMO its too thick to put on my hair dry. I like to use shea butter (on dry hair) instead.
