Profectiv Damage Free 2 Phase Leave in, it is the only liquid leave in I use after I wash my hair. I have been using it for years because it detangles easily and it doesn't weigh down my hair at all.

Love this, but I can't seem to find it recently. :afro:

Sorry if big. Couldn't find a smaller pic. Got this gem for $9.99 at Marshalls. Didn't realize reatail is $29.99.

The stuff softened my transitioning hair in under 10 mins, like nothing else - no heat, just used while in the shower. If I used a DC or co-wash that ended up leaving my hair no soft & moisturized, I would slather this on and amazing... slip, moisture & smooth hair! Haven't tried it on my natural hair yet, but can't wait! :lick:

ETA: The $29.99 retail is on Overstock, Amazon has for $34. Need to go back to Marshalls - today :grin:

Yes - L'anza - love those two. I want to try the mask.
 
MissDarcei cosigning on the Live Clean exotic nectar hair products. I saw a Youtube review by Splinta24 and decided to give this a try. I couldn't believe you could buy such quality ingredients (the exotic nectar line is made with argan oil, organic botanicals and only uses enviro friendly ingredients) at such a low price point..about $5 per item at Walmart. I used the conditioner, spray leave-in and treatment mask on my daughter's hair this weekend and the results were outstanding. Her hair which is prone to frizz and typically low sheen came out very soft, smooth and shiny. Its now 5 days since I washed her hair, still no frizz and the shine is amazing. I am really impressed by this line, I'm off to Walmart to stock up.

ETA - I also picked up the non petroleum jelly (100% natural ingredients) from their baby care line. I've been using to seal the ends and lay down our edges. This too works wonderfully.

Recently I've been LOVING Design Essentials and Rolland UNA hair products. Some things I'm currently using by them are:

Rolland UNA Dual Phase Treatment - it's a spray leave in you shake up; makes the hair very soft and easy to detangle (also has some heat protecting properties so I mostly use it before blowdrying)

Rolland UNA Compensating Shampoo for Hair loss - I use this with every wash it stops shedding INSTANTLY and smells like peppermint so it tingles on your scalp

Design Essentials Moisture Retention Shampoo - LOVEE this although it contains sulfates this by far is one of the best shampoos I have ever used it smells like pineapple candy and leaves my hair clean, but also very soft and almost conditioned after rinsing

Design Essentials Herbal Complex 4 - This is a traditional "grease" petrolateum and all but it also has a lot of other good oils and herbs to soothe the scalp I use this occasionally if my scalp feels dry

Other mentions: Alter Ego Lux Shine Spray, Elasta QP Glaze Plus Conditioning Gel (Excellent for ponytails), Elasta QP Glaze Plus Silkening Polisher Spray (I use this as a heat protectant it's similar to the Fantasia one in the pink bottle and comes in both spray and serum form but is much lighter), Lacio Lacio Leave in Conditioner Brazilian Keratin formula

I really like this ayurvedic amla/shikakai oil from an Indian salon I used to go to in Austin. It may be the same as other amla oils, idk, but the quality is really nice and it smells good. And, I think it's pretty much cured the itchy scalp and dandruff I'd been suffering with until I remembered I had it in the cupboard.

If you don't live in Austin it's also online: http://www.ancientayurvedic.com/products.html

I LOVE Aveda's Universal styling cream! Leaves my hair super soft. Actually I love Aveda's entire Brillante line..it's for thick hair. I used to attend Aveda Cosmetology school..We got a kit of all the Aveda products..let me tell you I used all of the Universal styling cream up on my own head and had to keep constantly buying more to use for my clients...lol
 
I love this thread. Definitely see some products I'd like to try in here.

I never hear anybody talk about the Black and Sassy line. The setting cream is the only thing I use on twists. Doesn't show up white, doesn't dry my hair out and never flakes or itches.

I love the coconut shampoo and conditioner & green apple condish! The coconut shampoo smells heavenly and is so gentle on my hair..and the coconut conditioner is very moisturizing. The green apple condish is very moisturizing and I love the smell..sometimes I leave it in when I do wash & go's..and i just like to leave it in because of the smell..

Elasta QP Soy Oyl conditioner. It does have mineral oil which I try to stay away from but when I'm in a tight I will use it. This stuff makes my hair so soft and silky and completely tangle free. Plus it's super cheap and easy to find. This 32oz tub was only about $8. :yep:

P.S. OP, great thread, by the way!

Speaking of that Curls paste, the entire Curls line doesn't get much love. Aside from CurlyNikki who pushed me to try it, I don't ever see anyone mention it.
