WHat are some good hair moisterizers that can be used after you condition and on a daily basis that's not too heavy on my ends. Note: I have fine hair. Someone mentioned hair butters, oil...please include the brand. Thanks in advance!

EVOO
Sweet Almond Oil
Coconut Oil
Elasta QP Mango Butter **this maybe to heavy for your fine hair.
Shea Butter

I haven't tried these but I know some people that like them.

I stopped using elasta qp recovery oil moisturiser because it has minerla oil and after using it for soemtime, my hair started breaking. i now use Africa's best oil moisturiser with shea butter and tea tree oil. it light and doesnt weigh down my hair. My hair is also fine. Jojoba oil is also good. And Neutrogena Triple Moisture serum

I've noticed a few people saying they use "white products" like Aussie, suave, and vo5. I have tried a few of these products, and found they leave my hair dry, it feels stripped. My hair dresser said the ph in them was too high for african american hair, and was striping it of any oils or moisture it had. does any one else experience this?

CEBNN, I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. Suave made my hair fall out twice b/c I used it when I got out of the swimming pool and it didn't moisterize or it stripped my hair of it's natural oils.

Cebnn,
I think it depends on your hair texture. I know for myself, I can use the Vo5 conditioners but not the shampoos and I don't touch Suave. However, my sisters, who all have varying hair types, can use them without a problem. Some of them have below brastrap length hair.

I have found that most of the lower-priced brands make a lot of products that look similar but are completely different in how they make my hair feel. Suave and VO5 both make conditioners that make my hair feel marvelous and conditioners that I can't imagine anybody liking.

Right now I clean my hair with Suave Daily Clarifying conditioner, then use Suave Humectant, and follow it with Pantene. Clearly, your mileage may vary.


Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?

i'll give you a website with great organic hair butter.

www.freshlymade.biz it's like $28 for 13 0z. but 13 0z will last you a long time, as a little goes a long way. I'm using it at nite as a nitely moisturizer and my hair loves it.

I also use a variety of hair butters that i purchased off ebay. do a search for sal, avocado, cocoa, shea and another type of butter that you are looking for- yous hould be able to find some reasonable deals.

Aveda DAily Moisturizing Leave-in Conditioner is good for daily use...its water based, and not too heavy.

and i also like Lusters (i think it was) Moister Max...i think its oil based, so its heavier...kind of like pink oil but lighter.

I don't use most of Suave or V05 products for my hair. It's way too stripping and it doesn't provide moisture. But I do like Suave 2-minute treatment. That stuff is pretty good in my book. Basically folks with oily scalp and fine hair might like those lines better.

I like the Pantene relaxed and natural daily oil cream for a good moisturizer. It leaves my hair feeling soft and works well with braids. I also like Dark and Lovely Almond Rain oil mist which is good for relieving dryness and has a nice scent. TBC lite hair and scalp conditioner is good (the gel kind); it leaves my hair feeling moisturized for a long time and is good on my scalp.

A moisturizer that would be good is Salerm 21 or Elasta QP Mango Butter. These products are great and light.

I also use African Gold Moisturizer mixed with Fantasia IC Hair Polisher.

I'm with sista! ORS Olive Oil is the BEST!!! I came across it because my mom was going to throw it out. I tried it and was in love with it. I use it almost everyday. Also ORS Shea Butter Moisturizing Hair Lotion is great too. It smells tutti frutti and is very light.
