Hi to all!

If you don't mind, please asnwer these questions just for us all to have an idea on moisturizing methods.

2) What do you use to moisturize?

3) Do you seal? if yes : With what?

4) What is your hair type?

 

[TopShelf]

Moisturize daily...once a day

I use Darcy's pumpkin seed leave in or any other glycerin free leave in that I have (KCKT, beautiful curls shea butter leave in)

I seal with Oyin Burnt Sugar Pomade

4 something, natural

 

[southerncitygirl]

i'm 3c-4a and cottony

i moisturize and seal 1-3 times a week.
i use qhemet biologics amla and olive heavy cream and seal with my oil blend ( olive, kukui, meadowfoam, castor , and coconut).

 

[NappyNelle]

1. Loose hair = every day. Protective styled = 3-4x a week.
2. Oyin's Juices & Berries
3. Yes. Loose hair = grapeseed, coconut, or Oyin's Afterbath oil. Depending on the style, I may use Qhemet's Amla & Olive Heavy Cream. I will also use castor oil on my ends as needed.
4. Cottony-silky-thready 4A. Fine strands, medium density.

 

[Ronnieaj]

I use a liquid mix that I make myself. It has heavier oils in it in the winter (castor, argan, wheat germ, and walnut) so I don't necessarily seal afterward. If I do, it's often with something light, like KBB Jojoba Oil (just because I'm in twists and the lighter oils don't cause my twists to unravel).

I use it twice daily, separately seal 2-3x/week. I'm 4a natural.

 

[southerncitygirl]

I forgot my weekly style of choice is a twist out.

i'm 3c-4a and cottony

i moisturize and seal 1-3 times a week.
i use qhemet biologics amla and olive heavy cream and seal with my oil blend ( olive, kukui, meadowfoam, castor , and coconut).

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I moisturize twice per day. It's Cold here and I'm under a Wig & Durag M-F. In Lieu of a Winter Hat.

The Heat/Dry Air from Indoors & Car, and the Cold Outdoor Air can Zap the Life outta your Hair.

I usually use a Heavy Lotion, Butter or Hair Cream. I seal with a Pomade or Oil. Sometimes I will also use a Spritz, Cream & then seal with Oil.

Oh, I'm Relaxed. And probably a 4 something.

[KittyMeowMeow]

I have multiple textures with two different routines.
----

1) How often do you moisturize (how many times a day)?
Daily, sometimes every other day depending on hair's needs.

2) What do you use to moisturize?

After washing:
3abc fine-medium section: shescentit coco cream leave in. Excellent non-greasy light balancing moisture.
3c to maybe in the 4s cottony, med-coarse: homemade shea mix (shea, EVCO, castor oil, AVG, honey, lemon oil)

Daily:
both sections: water. The key to soft, moisturized, stretched hair w/ water is to just use a few sprays on a section & work/smooth it in until it doesn't feel wet, just moisturized. Then repeat if needed. Don't use too much & let it evaporate- makes hair dry & rough.

3) Do you seal? if yes : With what?

both: EVCO. Also helps moisturize. Tiniest amt for loosely curly/fine, more for tightly curly.
