for those with EP hair, naturally curly: what products do you use  (if any) for moisture after conditioner. Mine keeps drying out..

Did you ever post any pics of your EP?  What length did you get and how curly is it?  I'm still struggling to keep my naturegirl from becoming dry too.

what texture of NG do you have? I didn't have problem w/ drying when i wore NG 3b curly. I used the John Freida serum sometimes,  and also NG recommended Pantene 3 min leave in conditioner stuff. But i found any good conditioner worked for me. I used Goldwell for dry and porous hair (which also helps my EP, but EP hair gets heavy w/ too many products so serums are out, where NG seemed to love any product). Also, are u using the hask placenta stuff on NG.. I think that's on nG rec product list too. HTH

mine was NG 3b too. Some of it gets dryer than other parts. I think I have a few troubled wefts that tend to get dry. I have Goldwell, maybe I will try that.  I have that placenta stuff too, but havent used it. Are you suppose to leave it in or rinse it out?

It's not buildup, Marie. I hadn't even put anything on it yet other than the Goldwell conditioner . I did try soem Oscar blandi serum on a section and that seemed to weigh it down and cause it to be more stiff. And Phytolisse didn't seem to do much either. So I figured I'd ask some advice from yall with experience w/ different hair types. I was hoping I could wear the hair w/ little or no product since it's not that curly anyway, so I didn't think it would need all the moisture like NG 3b curly. I want it to have more shine and hold curl definition (what little curl there is).  I was trying to stay away from the heavy products, but maybe that's what it needs??

Thanks SAS! I do have majority of items on your list. And i tried some Curly Pudding on it last night and thought that did what I wanted it to do, but I still wanted advice before I end up out one nite with a head of boofy hair. Cry. Now, i never had much luck with the KMS curling balm when using on IH? How do u apply that, do u apply it when the hair is more dry than wet?  What do you get when u use the SCurl product? Seem like that would be greasy?? non? I have CD hair milk , but I think it's 'spoilt' lol.

I apply the KMS curl up balm on towel dried hair. I do often add
a tiny drop of Biosilk along with any other product I use. I find I
get a deep shiny curl afterwards with this combo. With the Scurl
I get a lovely soft bouncy moisturized curl (not greasy at all) this
product is on par with ISO bouncy ….but ISO bouncy is about
$22 a bottle while Scurl is like $4.99…..they come out the same
light bouncy curls!! I like how light the Scurl and Bouncy are
afterwards. I think these two products are the lightest on the
hair overall.

yeah i got some of that baby oil gel (in lavender, yum) after reading recommendations on another hair board. It kinda makes the hair sticky tho and any lint flying by (or cat hair, as i'm sure u can relate), seemed to stick in my hair. I wasn't using a lot, but maybe still using too much??

EDIT: BTW, i'm trying to get they juicy curly look Chili (from TLC) is sporting now on their reality show R U the Girl. That looks like NG hair, but I'm trying to get it w/ EPlus (since that's what i have in now). I want it to still be light and bouncy tho.
