I was in desperate need of a moisturizing mist. I tried S-curl but it has way too much glycerin in it. So I took a moisturizer that I know works very well for my hair and simply diluted it with water.

I might try diluting Scurl next.

Beamodel, I diluted my Oyin & will report back how I like it in about a week. I agree with soonergirl -- dilute Scurl before you give up on it. It's a little too sticky when using it straight so adding water lessens the sticky feeling and increases hydration.

winona, I use a 50:50 ratio. I typically use a 2 oz or 4 oz bottle and just eyeball the 50:50 ratio. I like using smaller bottles because it's easier to grip with my hands. In addition, I switch up what I spritz with so I prefer to not have large volumes on hand.

Miss:

Hairitage Hydration Greek Yogurt

My hair was so dull and frizzy looking from using this

Neutral:

Hairitage Hydration Soft Summers Twisting Gel

This smells just like an activator gel. I might as well buy some activator gel from the store which is cheaper and I'll get more uses out of it.

Kizuri Beauty Coconut Mango Leave-In Conditioning Cream

This is now a miss, my hair felt dry bout time I got home.

Misses:
Camille Rose Naturals Fresh Curl-great slip and softness...initially. My hair airdried stiff and dry. If your hair likes glycerin, this is for you. I am guessing that my hair doesn't.
Nubian Heritage Cowash Conditioner-it left my hair a bit dry and the smell is WAY too loud and floral.

Hits:
Camille Rose Almond Jai Twisting Butter. Amazing softness for days!
Camille Rose Aloe Whipped Butter Gel. Softness, shine, frizz control and definition all in one. Love it for twist/braid/bantu knot outs.
BASK Vanilla Whiskey Repairative Hair Soak. My hair LOVES this DC. Although it has protein, it leaves my hair super soft.

MEGA Hit:

Soutanicals Hair Sorell for the L.O.C Method (LCOB)....LOVING IT! Its good as a leave, but the bomb on dry hair. It works a lot like the Komaza sprays, which I love btw.

Potential Hit:

Creme of Nature Argan Oil Shampoo- I think I judge this to harshly before. It actually cleanse my hair nicely and didn't leave any build-up behind. Its only a potential hit because I used it directly after chelating, so the results may have been altered. I will used it again this week by itself and see if its a definite keeper:).

Cupuacu Butter - (Steam refined)

I used it alone this time after a wash for two-strand twists - WOWZERS. No leave-in, nothing and my hair is beautiful. (just a spray bottle of George's Aloe)

If your hair is having a hard time holding moisture -
If your hair is zig zag/coarse when it is dry

Then try Cupuacu butter after your hair treatment.

This is my condition and my current butter mix wasn't doing anything - not even Mango butter which I loved when my hair was shorter.
