My hair is very dry so I need to moisturize alot and this causes my hair to be weighed down and greasy feeling. My hair also does not seem to move because of the amount of moisturizer I have to use. The only time my hair actually has body and movement is when I use less moisturizer but then my hair feels dry. Does anyone know what I could use to make my hair feel moisturized but not weighed down???
The moisturizers I am currently using are ORS Olive oil moisturizer, elasta QP mango butter, and Hollywood Beauty olive oil cream. ------------- longhairgrower |

I found this moisturizer that I am testing...
It is called Ojon. The products base is a palm nut that was used by a native american tribe. So far as a moisturizer it is nice. It conditions my hair without weighing it down and has a nice cocoa smell. The only thing is it also claims to help treat breakage which I sometimes have a problem with because my hair is relaxed. Waiting to see any improvements in that area. But I am also looking for other suggestions on a daily moisturizer.

Either you're using too much or your moisturizer is too heavy for your hair...I use s-curl..it's fantastic a little goes a long way

I'm going to have to try this s-curl stuff. I keep hearinf positive feedback about it. Once my Ojon is gone I am going to try a bottle. Who else uses S-curl and loves it? ------------- CHECK OUT MY PHOTOS! http://public.fotki.com/quietladyflash/ - My Fotki Album |

| I just use Pantene Pro-V Smooth Start. It's a lightweight smoothing comb-in treatment designed to hydrate frizzy hair. Sure, its in the "green section" so it's supposed to be for sleek, straight styles but I found that when I used to wear my hair straight it didn't work very well at all. And since I've started to wear my hair in its natural curls I kept using it and now it works wonders! I don't know how I would get by without it. It's so light that I can put it in my hair everyday. I've realized that sometimes those good ole staple name brand products can work the best on your hair versus the "natural" stuff. |

You might just want to do one moisturizer and then a light oil to seal the moisture in. I also have dry hair. I use Profectiv(megagrowth) and then use Kemi-oyl to seal it. ------------- First Goal-Full SL Second Goal- Full APL Final Goal-Any length beyond is all gravy http://public.fotki.com/mercedes826/ |
