I get alot of my butters (shea, mango, sheaaloe) and oils from Texas Natural Supply.  I have been buying from them for 2 years now and i love it. 
Go to their website www.TexasNaturalSupply.com and they tell you about the product, what its good for, and how much to use.  If you are purchasing for the first time use the code TNS10 to get 10% off your entire order.

baking soda will take the grime out of your hair w/o stripping the natural oils and acv is will soften it and shine  dont worry about the smell it goes away in a min
 
but alternatives are beer, black tea my friend hair is using this and her hair is so much softer since has been using them

Good afternoon, I am a Newbie and would like some information... I am from South Africa so our time zones would be totally out. Right now the time is almost 3 in the afternoon and where most of you guys are its almost 7 in the morning. My daughter has very thick EXTREMELY curly hair. As soon as I wash / wet her hair it goes all wild. Bare in mind she's only 4... and has a sister the age of 2 - her (my 2 year old) hair is still manageable because its still short. Now back to my 4 year old. Her hair is very strong and reaches about 10 fingers away from her buttocks. This makes it even harder to take care of. Heres the dillemma, I have been dabbling with thoughts of relaxer for a very long time now. Almost 8 months. I am at my wits end trying homemade remedies that dont seem to work on her extremely dry hair. Is there someone out there who can help me. Pleeeeeeease Confused I dont know where else to turn and I found this site almost by accident.
I dont SUFFER from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it

Yikes HairGoddess. Sorry to hear about what happened with the product. Just goes to show that one mans gold is another  mans garbage. Hope your hair is having a good recovery.

I think the lesson to get from this is probably trying a patch test on our hair just like we'd do for our skin.

I got a sample of Jessies last year.  It proceeded to take my hair out.  The last time I saw it was in my garbage.

I need to find something to hold my hair in place with out the flaking of gel. I like Let's Jam, but it doesn't hold my hair after a matter of hours. I'd prefer to avoid products with chemicals, and stay closer to the natural route. Also, does that Miss Jessie's Pudding flake? I might could use that if it'll work for my twist.

Happy to be Nappy!
