Really thinking about just ending this transition and cutting off my relaxed hair. This demarcation line is a PAIN. It's so funny how only an inch long section of hair is dictating what I do with my entire head.

Which is better for moisture
Soultanicals marula muru or the fluffalicious

I used to use qhemet biologics amla heavy cream but it too much of a pain to get my hands on.

Marula muru hands down, but please be aware that it is nothing like the heavy cream. It is lighter in consistency and absorbs a lot easier into the hair. It is so light that you may need to seal. It has the consistency of a thicker hair milk.

I think the design essentials relaxer i got in feb is causing my hair to shed. It was the first time i had that relaxer and im seeing long strands of hair on the floor when i brush or comb my hair. off to research garlic treatments.

Cantu!

When I first went natural, I'd ask random strangers, "What do you use to get your hair looking so great?" MANY would say Cantu. So I tried some of their products, and they did NOTHING for me! LOL!

Well, I took a look at the line in the store today and I was impressed with the pricing and offerings/line-up. Most everything smelled good, too. They have an ACV rinse (for scalp care, I think), and cowash, a foam (mousse?) and all sorts of stuff.

Now that I'm thinking about it, is Cantu on one of LHCF's lists of not being black-owned? Let me go check . . .

Will it give days of moisture like the heavy cream?
Are the ANY dupes for heavy cream that are a bit easier to get me hands on?

@Royalq
Other than the price being a "pain", QB ships really fast. And you can pick it up OTG at Sep.hor.a

You'll have a much longer wait IMO waiting on ST'icals.:look: Neither Marula or Fluff is nothing like AOHC (and I'm not saying "good" or "bad"), I'm just saying those two products are not even remotely similar to AOHC.

Similar in consistency OTG - I would say TGIN Buttercream Daily Moisturizer (and if it doesn't work) you can take it back.

Thanks so much. And I'm looking at the Target website and soultanicals is hardly stocked. I was reading the soultanicals thread and it seems a lot of people were having troubles with the shipping and consistency of the products. I checked the target website and there is no marula maru or fluff-a-licious within any target in a 50 mile radius. That's terrible.
I may revisit the heavy cream but with a much lighter hand this time. I used to slather it on.

I know that you didn't ask me, but have you tried MHC Type 4/Buttery Soy or CRN Almond Jai or Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Moisturizer? These are the products that most resemble the QBHC with regard to consistency and/or long-lasting moisture, IMO. Those Soultanical products wouldn't do a thing for you...IMO.

Hey, yeah anyone can answer. I tried the Almond jai and it did zilch. My hair was dry after like 2 hours. I havent heard of the other two.

In that case, the Bee Mine would be a better option because it gave me the most long-lasting moisture and softness with good slip when used as a refresher on dampened hair. I haven't used the QBHC in years, so refresh my memory, please. Does it have a wet consistency or is it more grease-like? I'm trying to point you in the best possible direction without having you waste any money...or time.

Outside of what's been suggested, SM Marula and Manila Twisting Cream (?). I had zero hope for it but it surprised me.

CRN was suggested and it's good, but it's not as heavy.

Amla cream is greasy if too much is used.

It's literally a heavy cream. Not wet, more like a heavy butter that's made to be creamy, but no liquid consistency. When I think grease-like,I think of Type 4. It's not stiff, definitely moves, but the texture is more pudding like.

The BM could be a close comparison.

A-ha, now I get it. Thanks for the info. @Royalq, perhaps a highly whipped butter (like SSI Seyani/Kiwi or Koils By Nature butters) or a greasy-ish butter (like The Mane Choice Doesn't Get Much Butter Than This) may give you similar results. I wish you could just dab your fingers in the stuff I have here and give them a try before sampling 842 products.:lol:

If you are looking for OTG options like from Targ'et/Sally etc....I would look at:
TGIN's Buttercream Daily Moisturizer
KBB's Ambrosia and/or Super Hydrating Hair Creme
Oyin's Whipped Pudding

That way you can return them. I maintain that TGIN's Buttercream might be an option for you.

I tried the whipped pudding and my hair didn't care for it. My hair doesn't care for butters (shea, cocoa, mango, etc) at all. Qbahc works because I think the first few ingredients are oils. Looking at the tgin ingredients the first two are water and glycerin which might work but the 3rd is shea butter. It might work. What does KBB stand for?

I think my hair like the heavy cream because it's basically a whipped oil. My hair doesn't really like butters. This is the heavy cream ingredients

Castor (Ricinus Communis) Oil & Olive (Olea Europa) Oil Blend, Aqueous (Distilled Water) Botanical Infusion Of Organic Phyllanthus Emblica (Amla) Extract, Organic Bacopa Monniera (Brahmi) Extract And Organic Aloe Ferox (Aloe Africana) Extract, Vegetable Glycerin, MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), Sorbitan & Cetearyl Monoesters (Vegetable Emulsifier), Citrus Limon & Citrus Aurantium (Essential Oil Scent), Phenoxyethanol & Ethylhexylglycerin (Food Grade Paraben-Free And Formaldehyde-Free Preservative).

Idk how they did it but it's a whipped cream product.
