Huge, huge, HUGE hit: Nature's Gate Aloe Vera Conditioner (old formula)!
Man, this stuff is good! Last week, I followed up my DC by twisting my hair with this condish, a few splashes of Organic Now condish, and healthy heapings of glycerin and raw agave nectar.
When I co-washed and rinsed, my hair very literally felt like silk. It was so smooth and slippery. I airdryed overnight and used a little of the Nature's Gate Aloe Condish to prevent my hair from drying out. The next day, I applied my DC, sat under the dryer for 60 minutes and when I detangled and rinsed, once again, the silky silk-ness all up in the shower!
I whipped up some more NGAC, agave nectar, and glycerin with a few splashes of the Organic Now Condish, too. I used this to twist my wet hair and sealed with Blue Magic Coconut Grease. My hair is hiding under my satin cap and hat and when I touch a twist, I feel moisture and softness for days!
My new reggie will consist of co-washing with Trader Joe's Tingle Treat, DCing with Giovanni Nutrafix and everyday to every other day, moisturizing and sealing with NGAC plus the additives!
