I'm still looking for a good moisturizer . Now some products are either too heavy, light, or just sits on top of my hair.

That was my issue too.
APB Cherry kukui and Peach babassu as well as SD WGC were always light for me. So my detangling the next week would be too long. I only detangle under water while rinsing out dc, so after applying the lotion, it was good, but I was always missing something.
My hair was soft but lightly moisturized. And the next week, the time I would take would add on more. Since I've been using the QB with the same products, I think that's what I was missing. I can use light lotions with a thick moisturizer and it balances out. It reduces the next weeks detangling as well.

I used lotion as my leave In, since they are light. Then QB CTDG. Then oil. Then butter.

@Saludable84 I do like QB's CTDG as a detangler but as a moisturizer layered with other leave in, it's just ok. I feel like I need something else. I'm discovering that my hair is normal to low porosity.

I'm at a salon in Atlanta under the dryer.
Detangling wasn't too bad. (Yay!) The stylist doesn't think I need a trim. She doesn't think I needed my last trim. She says I don't have coily hair, but she says I'm 3c, maybe 4a. The steam treatment dripped hot water all over me and my scalp. That didn't happen last time I was here. She flat twisted my hair with the Design Essentials natural mousse.
I'm starving, have a few more hours to go under the dryer, and I can't find a place to deliver to the salon. The receptionist is looking (so kind).
I conclude: I must learn how to flat twist out my own hair. It's a must.

I actually like both, and then topped with a butter, it was nice. When I added the HBCO in, it just became better. It's disgusting on wash day, but over the course of the week, it gets better.
Every LoPo is different, but the moisture is key. That will do wonders for your detangling.

Could wearing my pair pulled back in a bun/ponytail every day loosen the curl pattern at the front of my head? My hair in the back is curly, but at the front it's just wavy.

The front of my hair is really loose compared to the rest. For the longest time I parted my hair in the middle and pulled the front back very taunt. Not sure if that helped it along the way. It's the first place my curls drop ina style.

I think so. My hair in the front is a looser texture than the back and stretching it all the time with buns keeps it stretched and it's even looser

OMG. I just finished my weekend wash routine except this weekend I did an Aphogee 2 step treatment. In reading several threads where ladies commented about how much they like TGIN buttercream daily moisturizer, I decided to get some yesterday. I used it after my leave in but before Nairobi's foam wrap lotion. I took my hair down, combed through my curls, and I thought I was Lola Falana. My hair is GORGEOUS. I don't even want to go to bed because it is too beautiful to sleep on! Thanks ladies for making me curious about TGIN. I'm not natural (anymore ) but the stuff makes relaxed hair shiny, bouncy and soft!!

Me too girl. I have a twa right now and I'm ready to grow my hair back to MBL. I realize it'll take forever but I think I might be done forever with extensions. Every time I have them in I'm irritated about how long and complex my wash routine is, and am always itching to take them out a week later. It's gonna be hard just looking at my hair everyday

I need a really light daily moisturizer. I use the Mane Choice split end treatment serum and I totally love it, but its made for ends only... so you get this tiny bottle for like $22. :-\ My hair is fine and doesn't need much during the week. Everything else is way too heavy.
ETA - I might just keep using the serum and just stock up whenever they have a sale. Ive gotten over my hair PJism (mostly lol) and trying a bunch of new ish sounds tiresome at the moment....

I use sprays. I use Creme Of Nature Straight From Eden spray. It dries quickly, so it doesn't leave your hair wet. It's a leave-in/detangling spray. I recently bought Aunt Jackie's spray from from the flaxseed collection. I like it, but it doesn't dry as quickly as the CON. I'm relaxed, so I can't walk around with wet/moisturized hair. That will cause breakage. I use NTM leave-in too. It's lotion based, and dries and doesn't feel sticky.
I can't use heavy stuff.

Thanks doll!
That sounds like a great idea - sprays! I'm natural with fine strands and my hair HATES water/being wet. Wreaks all kinds of havoc.I used to use NTM way back when lol. I might grab that this evening!

And you can use it throughout the day. The sprays don't cause a bunch of buildup.Thanks doll!

I just spent $97 at Hattache'. I resisted so much (Hydrathermals [sp?], Bekura, Bee Mine). I feel all purchases made sense for my hair and regimen needs.No buy for the rest of the year. Now, to sneak this stuff into the house.
