I am a 4b..actually a 4z if that's possible. I have never EVER ever been able to get all of it (natural ) into a pony. Which defeated my unrequited love for a giant puff :(

Since I started looking at this board my PJ tendancies have picked up BIG time so I don't have a set regimen. I love the NTM line and Ginsing Wonder 8 oil in the spray bottle.I use the Silk Elements deep cons - and started adding SAA to them and my mascara ( works! ). Recently tried BT and I love the smell so that's a staple.

Hello to everyone. I've decided to delurk because I've gotten so many great ideas about hair care from this site and I wanted to participate.

My hair type is 4a/b too. Right now, my hair regimen is simple. Since I have very dry hair I use coconut oil, Creme of Nature Shampoo and Motions conditioner. I been drinking carrot juice daily for a little over a week. I'm trying to get healthy hair for the summer!


Awwww, my very first post

Hee!

I'm 4B all over:grin:. Some parts are looser than others but still definitely 4B and very dry

Still trying to figure out what products work best for me.

Right now I'm use Vitale Pro Mild Lye Relaxer and mostly Keracare and NTM prodcuts. Was using Phyto relaxer but my hair just seemed too dry.

May be switching to Design Essentials relaxer bc I'm moving to Atl and can't find anybody who uses Vitale.

Ok my 4a/b ladies just a quick question. I am definately in the 4a/b boat. Elasta QP (poo for relaxed-wash, bodifying poo-clarify, BCS, and DPR 11) and NTM (poo and condish) have proved good to me if only I was a little more consistant. But the NTM silk touch is not moisturizing enough for me. I have combatted it by mixiing it with Africa's Best Herbal oil and that has helped. But i would prefer one product instead of two. So my question to you'll is what moisturizer do you suggest. I am considering Salerm 21 or the QP oil moisturizer but I am not sure which one. So ladies, especially those who can have good results with the NTM and QP, can you help me out here? Thanks a bunch in advance.
