I use mine to scrub the soles of my feet. It is a great exfoliator.

Yea I always had the thought in the back of my head that eventually all the BKT usage people were doing wasn't going to end well. It seems like some of the posters that were so gung ho about it just disappeared

LHCF lied to me when they said KCKT was the best leave-in and the KCCC gave great soft hold. That stuff dried my hair out.
I can hear your tone...had me giggling all the way through this post. Thank you for that.

LOL this has me cracking up
I'm imagining it and I know it has to feel good with all them little teeth! I was thinking about using my old one on my dog but she's "tenderheaded" as it is, so I guess I won't torture her with that thing either

- EVOO and Shea butter I hate both of them in my hair!
- heat is bad and should be avoided; I use heat occasionally and it definitely has helped me keep my tangles under control
- cones, sulfates and mineral oil are bad; I have products that have these ingredients and they're holy grail products that have helped my hair thrive and I don't plan on ever letting them go!

The molecules of mineral oil are too big to penetrate the skin that's why it "just sits on the skin"
Shea Moisture mask(yellow) left my hair hard and dry.
lhcf was wrong when they said baking soda and acv would clean my hair and leave it soft.my hair and skin was EXTREMELY dry and had major breakage.
lhcf swearing Cantu leave In is the bomb. Doesn't do anything for my hair.
Lhcf was wrong about avoiding proteins ,my hair thrives on proteins (and butters)
Glycerin SUCKS! the wonderful Kbb sweet ambrosia would be amazing without glycerin,
Hair spritzes with glycerin make my hair dryyyy

.....the LOC method was a must for naturals. Ugh, no. For me, the LCO method works better for my hair.
.....to not use products with cones, mineral oil, glycerin etc and to not use hair grease. Honestly it's not a deal breaker for my hair. I was obsessed with ingredients for the first few years of my natural hair journey and unfortunately it was a waste of time. Now I'm less restrictive when it comes to product choices and I simply pay attention to what my hair responds positively to rather than rule out everything with the word "cone" or "mineral oil". Best decision I ever made.

Does your hair have the same reaction to glycerin?
I've found that I have to ignore all the recommendations to use glycerin products because it gives me hard, dry hair while AVJ or gel works well for me.
Personally I think it's an either or situation. AVJ usually works unless your hair responds better to glycerin.
No, not at all. I can tolerate AVJ, EVCO and glycerin well when they're contained within a product's ingredient list, but not as a stand alone, e.g., spritzing my hair with water and AVJ or glycerin, using AVG as a styler, sealing or pre-pooing with EVCO, etc.

For me, overnight DCs, baggie method and greenhouse effect just make my hair feel really mushy. I was glad to see that Komaza hair analysis state for a number of folks that it worked against their progress.
The other lie, in general, were bandwagon products or methods. They usually started with huge, unverified claims of greatness followed by 20+ pages of complaints.

I definitely agree with this entire post
. I Love my suds. I love my cones even more. Now natural butters and oils have their place in my hair's heart!

Some of the best shampoos I've used in recent years were sulfate shampoos. Most of them were salon brand so that probably made a difference. I've tried sulfate free shampoos over the years - some were great, most were OK and a few really dried my hair out something terrible. My hair felt damaged after one wash.

Detangling with sopping wet hair is best. It tears my hair up. I've been retaining length like never before since I started detangling with-get this...A spray bottle full of CONES on dry hair.
That I needed to ditch all of the old wives methods, because our moms and grandma's were wrong. Well, Crisco is my hair's best friend these days.
That frequent washing with shampoo is necessary. I wash with shampoo every few weeks and my hair is retaining moisture and length.
Wash-n-Go and wet buns...they're devil.

Agreed @greenandchic. I have a small bottle of Pureology hydrate poo (sulfate-free) and it is murder to my hair. I may have to add some pracaxi oil to it and hope for the best.@Embyra @Aggie

While I recognize that SOME have a problem with protein sensitivity, avoiding protein is not a one size fits all approach. This is where I've learned the importance of understanding your hair type. Protein is especially important for fine and medium strands - from there it's just a matter of determining protein strength needed and how often.
I remember a time when there were a ton of moisture only threads... Followed by a ton of threads on moisture overload.
