[hairfanatic]

Anything with olive oil, vitamin E Oil, Jojoba, Rosemary Oil, Sage, Shea and Cocoa Butter my hair loves.

 

[Nyambura]

I'm continuing to learn about my hair and its requirements but, off the top of my head, I know it loves water, jojoba oil, meadowfoam seed oil, glycerin (when it's not icy cold outside), water-soluble silicones (e.g., elucence shining spray), and silk proteins.

I've also noticed that when I go back to California for vacation, the air is SO much more moist that my hair seems to get by with A LOT less - say, water, glycerin, and jojoba oil. But the lack of moisture out here in the prairie air when the temperature dips below zero changes the game substantially. /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif

 

[BlkMane]

Jojoba Oil
Castor Oil
Blackstrap Molasses
Rosemary
Sage
Lanolin
WildGrowth Oil

As far as styling aids, I think my hair likes PVP (whatever that stuff is).

 

[brownrelaxedhair]

Any type of 'cones', glycerin (realized this after discovering s-curl activator. Now I want to try the World of Curls gel too). Virgin olive oil.

 

[Kitkat]

My hair also loves Motions Moisture Plus for the cones, wild growth oil, and LOADS of moisture. The level of moisture that I need would probably be way too much for most folks. But because my hair is dry (those /images/graemlins/swearing.gif no lye relaxers!!), it can take excessive amounts of moisture and not look bad.

Hi Tee,
I use it either for my preshampoo conditioner or to help seal in moisture after I wet my hair. I have also mixed it in with conditioner (using the homemade Cathy Howse recipe). This is one of my favorite oils, along with jojoba and monoi.
HTH,
Nyambura

 

[beana3]

protein, cholesterol (weirdly most Cholesterol condits aren't my thing, but rather daily products w/ cholesterol), Panthenol. and i can TOLERATE minimal amounts of cones, Motions moisture plus is a no-no for me !
