My hair loves:
When I take my time and don't become frustrated with styling my hair.
phytojoba and phytokarite deep conditioners
prepooing with coconut oil
my scalp loves sulfate shampoos
Weekly washing.. just enough to keep my hair light and fluffy with out it starting to dry out and to keep my scalp clean
My hair hates
mineral oil in large doses.. just gunks up the works
Cocunut oil as a leave in.. same as above
I'm transitioning so I'm still learning likes and dislikes..

My hair loves - the most obvious of them all - moisture.
My hair loves - ayurvedic treatments.
My hair loves - oils
My hair hates - shea butter or any other thick butter for that matter.
My hair hates - heat... REALLY hates heat, can't even get a blow out done because it just goes back to its natural state.
My hair hates - being stretched out by pulling etc.

Loving this thread just one crazy question .... how can you tell what your hair loves or hates? It would be nice if someone explained why, for those of us who are yet trying to find the holy grail of products for our luscious coils. I became a product junkie so I am just using up everything I have ... leaving to join the "use your stash challenge"

What's crazy is that my hair used to love shea butter. But now that it is past the twa stage, it won't act right.
I think my hair haites coconut oil. I bought once and it always seemed to make my hair dry.
My hair loves oil rinses. So far I've been doing with Olive Oil, but I want to try it with Castor oil, which I'd have to get at Wholefoods.
I haven't been to my local Wholefoods yet because it is clear across town. Plus I'm afraid of coming out of there with much more than castor oil. I don't really consider myself a PJ, but get me into a Wholefoods and I lose my mind.
