If you're looking for something creamy but not heavy/greasy, Neutrogena Silk Touch Leave In is really good. It's the only moisturizer that has consistently brought me great results...plus it smells amazing! I'm type 4 but I'm relaxed...it works on my relaxed hair and my new growth though.

when i was natural the thick and heavy creams didn't work for me. QB Coco Detangling Ghee worked well for me and Oyin sprays worked good too.
i have low porosity by the way.

I'm what people call 4b/4c hair and it's been 3 years i haven't found someone as moisturizing as that.

I love Giovanni Direct Leave-In, although I know that some folk either love it or hate it. But my sure-fire moisturizer is Kinky Curly Custard and I add glycerin to it to make it even more moisturizing. Recently, I put some in an old spray bottle, added some distilled water and glycerin, shook it up and viola!: mega moisture in a bottle!
But, I live in a climate that supports optimal dew points for the use of glycerin...

I thought I read somewhere they discontinued it or changed the formula or something to that effect. Is it still working the same for you? I want to try it.
I am liking the Darcy's Botanicals Sweet Cocoa Bean Cream (it has a longer name, but this all I can remember 
). I also liked the Pura Body Naturals Murumuru Moisture Milk. Given the great sales she has, it would have been a staple, but the scent is too strong for me and it lingers.

NappyNelle I don't know if I can even describe it. I believe the fragrance I got is called Tahitian Vanilla. It was a very sweet and lingering smell. The undernotes are similar to the Oyin Hair Dew in my opinion. Whenever I used it on my hair, I could smell it on my pillow. I don't do well with strong smells so I could barely breathe.

Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and/or Shea Moisture Curl and Style Milk....both are very moisturizing. On my hair the smoothie is a little more moisturizing than the milk so if my hair is a tad dry I use the milk and it it feels thirsty I use the smoothie. I mist with water, apply product, and seal with EVCO. I no longer have parched hair thanks to these products and people at work always want to touch my hair and comment on how soft and fluffy it is. They are a little too comfortable reaching out for my hair all the time, but that is whole different topic lol.

NappyNelle I just noticed there is an unscented version. I haven't tried it yet, but I will be snapping up some bottles during the next 40% off sale.

I really like HairVeda's Whipped Clouds moisturizer. It seal with grape seed oil after applying it to the length of my hair and the ends, and my hair loves it! Not heavy or greasy, but nice, soft and moisturized. I mainly use this on dry hair, and when doing protective styling. But, I can say that when I take my hair down from the bun to re-apply it looks great, is shiny, and doesn't feel or look greasy. HTH!

Elasta QP Moisture Recovery has recently become my favorite moisturizer. It's water-based, creamy and comes in a 12 oz. bottle.
