Thanks tffy2004.
I really need some new hair products. I've been using Motions for awhile. Is been ok. I think I'm missing something I really just shampoo and condition every 2 weeks and deep condition 2x monthly because my scalp is dry. I don't feel like my I give my hair everything it needs. It's a good length below my shoulders but it grow so slowly.

Maybe wild growth hair oil? I don't really believe that it makes it grow faster but it can help to retain length and just give your hair some condition. ------------- Natural 10 years 3b/4a armpit length hair |

Hi everyone, I really don't know what product is better than Motions |
, can anyone suggest a product. I usually where my hair in a sewn weave but I'm taking that out today and no more weaves for awhile.Posted By: Renee

well, maybe you shouldnt rush to try other products because searching for the right products can be a mother. you can ask people that have the same hair type lik you and if you're relaxed, ask people who have relaxers. ------------- |

If you have plain olive oil in your kitchen cabinet, that's really good for relaxed/texturized hair.
I don't have a set regimen, but I have certain products I use. I can't promise they'll work for you, but I'll tell you what they are:
Creme of Nature shampoo for dry/damaged hair (my usual shampoo thanks to people here who reminded me how great it is)
Garnier Fructis shampoo (for when my hair is moist enough to almost over moist) I add some acv to it in a cup to clarify
Suave Milk and Honey conditioner (my usual conditioner)
Pantene Relaxed and natural conditioner
Shealoe (for moisturizing after I wash)
Profective (in the yellow container) (for moisturizing daily)
I don't use the above for moisturizing my blowouts because they both kind of "wet" the hair, which would make my hair curl/wave
Olive Oil and WGHO (for moisturizing after a blow out)
If I don't have a blow out, I wash my hair either every 3 or so days, or as soon as the ends feel a little dry
If I get a blow out, I don't wash my hair for 3 weeks if I can keep my hair straight for that long.....hey, I'm not paying all of that money to wash the style out in one week!
The trick to switching shampoos/conditioners is to know your hair and know when it needs extra moisture versus when it needs extra cleaning. I don't follow any particular schedule for my products, I just know when my hair needs a particular product.
You don't have to buy a lot of stuff. I'll buy something new every once in a while, but that's when something else is low and almost gone. I hate having too much stuff around. ------------- Hair type: who knows? Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06 MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!! Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH! |

For my hair, simple is best.
My hair doesn't grow as well if I use a lot of products. ------------- Hair type: who knows? Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06 MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!! Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH! |

| Thanks for your replies. I will take better care of my real hair and leave the weaves alone for a while. |
