Been here since '07...and I still haven't found a staple creamy moisturizer!

[virtuenow]

@poochie167 I love Oyin's Whipped Pudding. I use it on damp and dry hair. The Hair Dew is good as well, but if Qhem's Burdock Root Butter Cream was too light for your hair, the Dew won't work well for you.

I've also noticed since I've upped the quality of my deep conditioners, I don't really need the cream moisturizers that I love.

This has been my experience. Once I found a good quality deep conditioner AO GPB/HSR and oil rinses, I stay moist for nearly the full week between washes. I don't have the same need for a staple leave-in. I do think i have found my back up that I think is necessary for those days when you need instant moisture!

So how did you do it? It sounds like you should revisit, or use the AO as the base of your leave in mix like I do.

If i can remember when i used HSR...i mixed it with sheamoisture shea butter leave in. And i added something else, but can't remember. But then i lost the patience for mixing and just wanted something i can dip my finger in and kim. But yes, i think i may revisit it...but mix it with other stuff. I know if u use too much it can leave a white film cuz its still a conditioner but when mixed right, it gave my hair awesome hydration

okay! thx for that comparison!

@poochie167 Then what happened to the cream(s )worked? Why didn't you stick with them? Why look for something else when you've already found something that works?

Nonie
well as i mentioned the sheamoisture moisturizer from target worked...but the fragrance was too strong. So i gave it away. and i've been looking for a replacement ever since.
others were just okay! they may have been fine in the beginning, but as time went on they ended up not really doing anything. A good example would be Qhemet Burdock cream or QP elasta mango butter. I guess its like a new conditioner that u use and u like...but as time goes on u realize it really wasn't doing anything.

Try Cantu Shea Butter Leave in Cream in a jar. I've been using it daily on my ends for my dry rod sets and its smells good. Plus the prices is cheap. I got mine from Walmart. And don't let the name fool ya, it's more of a moisturizer to me than a leave in.

 

[Dposh167]

Darcy's Botanical Lemongrass Transitioning Hair Cream
Darcy's Botancial Shea Butter Lotion
Komaza Shea Butter Lotion

the bolded i've tried already. But the other's I'm DEFINITELY LOOKING INTO.

[MissMusic]

Bee Mine Luscious is golden!!

 

[CandyCurls]

Hairveda Whipped Ends & Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave-In

 

[silenttullip]

If burdock root didn't work qhemets heavy creme should

 

[ThickRoot]

Through my trial and error, those that work best for me are:

1. Shescentit Marula Hemp Butter
2. Shescentit Marshmallow Hair Cream
3. Oyin Hair Dew (recommended as a leave in and/or moisturizer)
4. Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee (is a leave in but I've been experimenting with it as a moisturizer and I'm liking it)


Honorable Mentions
Darcy's Botanicals Daily Leave-in
Karen's Body Beautiful Sweet Ambrosia

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I agree with the BeeMine Luscious Balancing Hair Cream and Qhemet's Coco Tree Detangling Ghee.

Right now I'm using CTDG on wet/damp hair, but last year I used it on Dry hair as a Moisturizer and it also worked great that way.

 

[divachyk]

Bee Mine Balanced Cream Moisturizer. I can use this 365 and be delighted every time.

 

[silenttullip]

yall have me wanting to get the Bee Mine Balanced Cream Moisturizer and I wasn't even looking for a moisturizer lol

 

[kellistarr]

Perhaps it's just my hair but many products do not work on my dry hair. I can count on one hand the products that work to moisturize my dry hair. Most everything I own works on my damp or wet hair. Have you considered this?

I had the same problem, for a long time...I tried Hawaiian Silky 14 n 1 and it was pretty good. Since then, I have found Taliah Waajid Protective Mist Bodifier and I really like it a lot. It's natural and can be found at CVS.

 

[Dposh167]

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Right now im thinking about trying caludie's moisturizer. Probably the end insurance to see how that works. Then im gonna try shescentit marshmellow cream. And im also gonna buy karen body beautiful amnrosia. If none of those work im gonna try the bee mine cream or hairitage products.

FriscoGirl
Can u provide us the brand name or the link

 

[demlew]

poochie167 Have you tried Neutrogena Silk Touch leave-in? It's creamy and dries clear. I've found that I can use it for a few days straight without buildup. It smells nice and a little goes a long way.

 

[TopShelf]

Have you tried this Shea Mositure product? Shea Moisture Shea Butter leave in conditioner...its in the white bottle

[JerriBlank]

I stand by Oyin Hair,Dew, and Pura Body Naturals Sapote hair lotion.

yes i have an extra bottle of this actually. I used to use it with okay results. It was better on my hair shaft than my ends. Its like my ends need more.

yes...i've tried this too very early into my journey. It had too much of a cone in this and i'm not a cone user. Especially something i would use often. i think i sold it

YASSS!

 

[curlicarib]

I mix Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Mask (yellow) and Silk Elements Mega Silk DC, 50/50 and use as a moisturizer on dry hair. Nothing in the world like it! I only moisturize one a week.

 

[Dposh167]

tiffers
lol yes i researched opinions on claudie's products and i really didn't see any bad reviews about her moisturizers. worth a try to me. I'm gonna get the isha cream too

 

[robot.]

I def agree with the ladies who recommended Oyin's Hair Dew! I also like Jasmine's shea butter rinse leave-in.

 

[coyacoy]

NappyNelle - i was just going to say the same thing re: Qhemet Amla olive heavy cream! i think they sell it in a sample size - it is sooooooo worth trying - maybe even the amla oil pomade if you like pomades. what about bear fruit products? they have a very creamy leave in...it is a condish and i know that's not what you are looking for but it's a good one - on wet or dry hair. Good luck - 4 years is a long time to be searching!

I've know you've tried Qhemet's Burdock Root Butter; perhaps the Amla & Olive Heavy Cream will be better for you.

I also like Oyin Whipped Pudding.

When End All comes back, I'd recommend that too.

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

I've found mine. HELTR leave in, QB AOHC, and MNT, and Giovanni Direct Leave in.

 

[southerncitygirl]

oyin hair dew
komaza califa ltion
komaza shea butter lotion
komaza coconut curl lotion

 

[mjphair]

Try Elasta QP Olive Oil and Mango Butter Moisturizer and Jane Carter Nourishing Hair Cream. Both are really good. The Elasta QP is a lil less expensive then JC, but both get the job done really well

 

[Umm Ebraheem]

Komaza Care shea butter lotion is a really nice moisturizer. Also, I'm liking the Bee Mine balanced moisturizer. Both are very thick and creamy.

 

[toiatoya]

Claudie's Isha Cream will change your life.

now see i was just about to ask you what you used because u said u have chronic dry hair. i do too im gonna check this out!

 

[dlove]
