2016 Updates: Relaxed/texlaxed List Your "moisturize & Seal" Products

[HappyAtLast]

Do you still M&S or just Moisturize? If so, what's working for you?

I have a few things I'm bouncing between that are alright but nothing I'm in love with. I'm using:

Moisturizer

• S-curl, Care Free Curl, or BRX Braid Spray if I don't mind frizz/poofy.
• ORS HaiRepair, Aphogee Curlific Moisture Rich Leave-in, Neutrogena Triple Moisture

Seal

• Blue Magic/Vaseline, Macadamia Oil (love all of these but haven't found a moisturizer to pair them with. Still experimenting.)

 

[Rozlewis]

I don't M&S as often as I used to. Once a days is good enough now. Product I use are:

L = Annabelle's Leave in or Annabelle's Refresher or Naturelle Grows Lilly Rose & Ginger (moisture)
O = Annabelle's Infused Oils or Marie Deans Argan (seal)
C = Annabelle's Cream or Hair Butter (seal again)

My relaxed hair is fine, with medium density. I cannot m/s the traditional way because I'll have stiff, weighed down hair.

I will spritz my hair during the day with plain water. At night before wrapping it up, I will spritz with aloe vera juice. There are times when I will seal, so I use a very light product...

I had no idea EQP made a leave-in spray and cream. I'm only familiar with the butter from back in the day! I'll have to find it.

I still M&S but not daily. I usually do it every 2 days or so.

Right now using:
Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer
Moroccan Oil Treatment (to seal)
Bamboo Growth Oil (on scalp only. Absolutely LOVE it)

I have too many to count but I generally like to use a medium to fairly thick Moisturizer sealed in with either a hair butter or oil. I use:

APB refresher spray with Bask & Bloom Nourishing Amazon Butter to seal
Bekura Tonga Mousse with any oil to seal, but mostly evoo because it's a little thick
NG leave-ins - the sweet Plantain and Hibiscus & Honey leave-ins so far are my favorites followed by an oil sealant or heavy butter.

There are many more but this is just a few to start with.

I use neutrogena triple moisture and seal with a mixture of jojoba, grapeseed and JMCO every other day.

I do it daily when I have my hair out.
