Re: What product was your best investment and why?
I'd have to agree my membership to the board. Even though alot of this knowledge can be found elsewhere about products, styles, techniques, etc. You can't ask an article a question and get different point of views, and variations on how to do things. I don't think I would have ever stopped going to salon, if I didn't join this board.
Also, my steamer. I don't use it enough, but when I do, it never fails me. It just really does something with knocking out tangles and really keeping my hair moisturized.

Re: What product was your best investment and why?
i talk about this stuff too much, but for me, it was definitely hydrolyzed keratin.
i struggled with keeping moisture in my hair. nothing worked. tried loads of products to moisturize my hair. deep conditioners were a bust, leave-ins/moisturizers were a bust (didnt matter if they were liquid, creamy, whatever)...then i realized that i had high porosity hair and the reason i lost moisture so quickly is because it was evaporating from my hair almost as quickly as it was put in.
regular protein conditioners didnt really help. it wasnt until i started using the pure hydrolyzed keratin protein that i saw a difference. the protein helps to fill in the holes/gaps in my strands so that they can hold onto moisture longer. this is why a protein/moisture balance is important. moisture cant work without a proper amount of protein.
i use the protein in a couple of ways: i spray it before i DC and then i spray it again after rinsing the dc or condition washing and before moisturizing.
