Hi trynagrow I have 4A/4B strands and I'm still waiting for what works on my hair lol I know some of the ladies are seeing really good results with Annabelle's Perfect Blends. Her products have been hit or miss for me.

The below products I have found success in:

Coconut Oil
Kinky Curly Knot Today
Honey/Olive Oil/Herbal Essences (mixed together and applied to hair as a deep conditioner)
rosemary oil rinses (amazing results after shampooing)
Oyin Hair Dew sealed with Jamaican Black Castor Oil (where has this stuff been all my life?)
Hawaiian Silky 14-in-1 sealed with Jamaican Black Castor oil

There is also a Low Density Support Thread for those who have fine/low density hair types. You can glean a lot from these ladies!! http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?p=20005181#post20005181

Thin strands or low density?

I have thin strands and cassia and stretching have made all the difference

Thanks Jace032000!

Blairx0, I think her hair is dense, just has thin fragile strands. I'm thinking of doing a hair analysis. I need all the help I can get.

Almost exclusive finger detangling and increased length. The longer my hair grows, the fuller my stretched styles look.

Protein treatments! Fine hair needs a balance of protein and moisture to thrive.

Another good thread for fine hair is the original fine hair thread 2014.

^^I agree. THe original Fine Hair Thread 2014 has a ton of tips for fine haired ladies. I'm a fine haired and lowish density 4b. I find that keeping my hair detangled and stretched works. I believe I'm normal to high porosity, so emmoilient products work for me. I use a soft butter on my ends to keep them from tangling. I love Oyin Hair Dew as a moisturizer, Hairveda Whipped Cream Ends Hydration, and Annabelle's Perfect Blends Hair Creams. These are all light products that melt into your hair, creating instant moisture.

My hair craves protein. I use a medium protein every few weeks like Komaza Protein Strengthener. I use a light protein every week (such as Silk Dreams Mocha Silk Infusion).

Froreal3, do you use a leave in before using the Oyin Hair Dew as a moisturizer?
