Mango Butter - but it works best for me on damp hair.
Recovery
Creme Conditioning Shampoo
Penetrating Moisturizer
Breakage Control Serum
DPR-11 Moisturizing Conditioner
And an old product that I'm almost out of but I wish they still made - Before and After Treatment. Its a light protein / reconstructor. I use it before relaxers touch-ups for protection.
I'm continuously buying Feels Like Silk gel for my daughters natural hair. I use a bit to smooth down stray hairs on the sides and nape area. It's definitely a keeper for my househould.

Its a watery spray, and heavy on the glycerine. It reminds me of the S-Curl spray, but more lightweight I guess. I prefer this over the S-Curl though. I use this to moisturize and then I "seal" with oil or mango butter.

Does anyone with relaxed hair use Feels like Silk?
If so how?

Hi there! I get a relaxer twice a year (actually a texturizer I suppose, because it is left in for about 8-9 minutes). I love Feels Like Silk- I only use a small amount-on my edges and sometimes on my ends for a "polished" look when I am wearing it straight. I also use a small amount when I am wearing my hair air-dried, curly style. I love it, and don't notice a smell, maybe because I use such a small amount. (Dime- size).

Babygurl, maybe you can give me some tips on how to use the Recovery because I don't think it is doing much for me.

Well I hated it when I first used it because it left a LOT of build-up but I learned to only use in on freshly washed hair and I also use it for my ends. Other than that it sucks as a daily moisturizer, and only works when used all over after I wash my hair.
I like Glaze: perfect for controlling the new growth as it "inches" closer to touch-up time. I agree with Babygurl about the Mango Butter...I've had mine for about a year and STILL haven't finished using it!

I REALLY like the Creme Conditioning Shampoo, it's great. However, I HATED Feels Like Silk, used it twice...and I'm 100% natural. Just goes to show everything doesn't work for everybody
I think my old hairdresser used the Glaze on my hair. Is it clear and similar to Let's Jam gel? If so, then that was it. I remember liking it too. Hmmmm....
Ditto on the Glaze. Forgot about that one. Best "gel" for smoothing edges and adding a bit of shine. And it holds without drying out or getting crispy which I hate.
