How many products do you use AFTER you wash your hair?

[Dposh167]

I'm talking about after you get out the shower from washing/cowashing and your hair is soaking wet. How many products are you putting on your hair? and which products? Especially for those of you who air dry.

It just hit me that i use 3 products on my hair after i wash.

leave-in on my hair shaft (giovanni)
moisturizer for my edges only (curls milkshake)
heavier moisturizer for my ends (donna marie super buttercream)

 

[EbonyCPrincess]

Well, I deep condition first - not sure if you were including that or only products left in your hair.

Currently I use 1-2 products on my "naked" hair. A leave in cream or spray and a serum (Kerapro Anti-Frizz Elixir) for rollersetting.

 

[Dposh167]

^^ yea i was only talking about products AFTER you wash/cowash/dc. The products you leave in

 

[Nonie]

Nada. I'm in twists and have been since August 2010. So since I put them in, I use nothing after I get out the shower. I am a bare hair kinda gal.

 

[Loves Harmony]

Pura body natural hair milk or lotion on soaking wet hair then seal with grapeseed oil.

Sent from my DROID X2 using DROID X2

 

[Avaya]

3-4:

1. Diluted aloe vera juice.
2. Liquid/liquidy leave in.
3. Creamy leave in (or sometimes an oil).
4. Heavy cream/butter leave in.

I haven't been using my diluted aloe vera the last few washes.

 

[LaidBak]

Hmm, I guess I use a lot of stuff compared to most. Anywhere from 4-6 products. Some are optional or interchangeable. (* = optional) I use:
- a vial of Femodyl 619
- a liquid leave in detangling/ conditioning spray
* something on my scalp (butter, cream, or oil)
* something on my length (cream)
- something heavy on my ends (butter)
- something to seal (oil)

 

[IDareT'sHair]

A Detangling Leave-In & an Oil

So, 2-4 at the most.

After it's dry: A Butter, Creme or a Pomade

 

[tiffers]

A moisturizer and a butter/oil.

 

[discodumpling]

Currently: 2 products; Shea Moisture HairMilk sealed with castor/evoo mix. If I need a little extra moisture i'll add a butter in between. So max 3 prouducts.

On the rare occasion I flat iron I use no product but a dollop of coconut oil for shine.

I'm a PJ but my hair isn't!

 

[Ann0804]

4
1. Leave-in Conditioner
2. Oil Mixture
3. Heat protectant
4. Crisco for flat ironing

If I'm not flat ironing my hair it's 3 products.
1. Leave-in
2. Oil Mixture
3. A styling product or a setting lotion.

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

I leave in whatever conditioner I used and then put a thick layer of grease.

 

[SimJam]

3 or 4 depending on what style Im doing


aloe vera juice
leave in
twisting product
sealer

 

[AlwaysNatural]

Usually just three, the first being a leave in.

 

[Daeuiel]

Neutrogena triple moisture leave in on dripping wet hair, then castor oil to seal the moisture in. So 2.

 

[Chaosbutterfly]

I use a leave-in, serum, and an oil. So 3.

Leave-ins are very interchangeable...I use either:
GVP Anti-snap
Lacio Lacio
Pureology Leave-In

For serum, I almost always use Chi Silk Infusion, although I do use the Fantasia IC one from time to tine.

And for oil, it's almost always castor, although I have used Vatika on occasion.

 

[choctaw]

none

Lately I have been doing overnight dc. I use ayurvedic powders in the dc and rinsing with water does not remove all the little bits of powder. I follow water rinse with an oil rinse and comb out most of conditioner and distribute the oil under running water. I make a braid in the shower and my hair is finished, no further products needed.

 

[Evallusion]

usually 2 (moisturizer and sealer)

 

[Zaz]

These days, just 1: a creamy moisturiser/ leave in such as Curls milkshake, whipped creme, souffle or dm super buttercreme.

Used to be 2 one for moisture, one for styling, then I decided my stylers were plenty moisturising so I switched to just 1 unless I use a gel.
eta: I'm on a kindle fire and the autocorrect was making my sentence all wonky

 

[Lita]

1-Apply a leave-in

2-Creamy moisturizer

3-Hair butter on ends (fall/winter)

4-Sealent thru- out length

*Rubb pomade on edges...if need be..

Happy Hair Growong!

 

[Chromia]

I air dry and I leave 2 products in:

-a conditioner or a leave-in conditioner (Abba Nourishing Conditioner Leave-On Moisturizer - I think it's now called Abba Pure Gentle Conditioner but I have an old bottle)
-gel (using up an old container of Curly Pudding so I won't waste it, but Silk Elements Liquid Styling Gel is better)

If I'm going to get under my dryer I'll put heat protectant on top of those 2.

By the way I do twistouts.

 

[naturalmanenyc]

leave-in conditioner & oil on my ends (hair in a bun most often these days).
I may add a little aloe vera gel to my edges and put on my scarf to smooth it down.

I am also currently oiling my scalp (not my hair) with a sulfur oil mix.

 

[Ronnieaj]

Normally 3-4:

Leave-in condish (which varies on mood)
butter/oil throughout length
grease on ends (length if bunning)

If I'm twisting, #4 will be twisting cream/pomade. If I'm bunning, #4 will be a pomade on edges only.

 

[KweenBeeDiva]

2-4 products, depends on what I do

Infusium 23 leave in
Silicon Mix leave in
Organix coconut milk (sometimes, and on my edges)
Always seal with Castor oil

 

[melissa-bee]

Just 1 which is shea butter.

 

[brg240]

Avaya How/why do you dilute the aloe vera juice?

I use two aloe vera juice and sunflower oil.

 

[YasashiiSekai]

Just some hair lotion and some castor oil on my ends.

 

[cheryl26]

Usually just one, being whatever is on the counter:
chi infusion
dove serum
conditioner of some sort
curls rock moisturizer
pantene combing cream

 

[againstallodds]

Two, whether I'm airdrying or roller setting.

Leave In Condish: currently it's Darcy's Botanicals Daily Leave In Condish.
Serum: If roller setting Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum, if air drying: usually Giovanni Frizz Be Gone (but sometimes reach for PM SSSerum)

 

[MochaRose]

I usually use 2 products. Joico Daily Care leave-in/detangler/heat protectant, and my own mix of coconut oil, avocado oil, and carrot oil. Once in a while I'll also use a little bit of Silk Elements cream conditioner leave-in.
