You can try a small bottle of the inner leaf gel to see if your hair likes it. Health food stores carry it.

NEW HIT:
SheScentIt Marula Mallow Leave-In and Styler - Now this left me with soft hair even after using Wetline Xtreme Gel over it. It is a light creamy texture and goes on effortlessly. I used it on wet hair earlier today and even now, I still can't stop touching my hair. I will be using it on dry hair as a styler to see if there is a difference in how soft it leaves my hair.

Don't worry be happy
Ongoing hits
Aloe vera - soothes and balances
Ayurvedic herbs and infusions - these really agree with my hair and scalp
Argan oil - softens without the stickiness of castor oil
Mango butter - first butter to truly soften and hydrate my hair. After continous 2 week use without washing...my hair feels almost too mositurized- something that is hard to acheive with my coarse hair

Continued hit: Locs! I'm almost 3 1/2 years locd and it's the best thing that I could have done for my hair. Some of the locs in my nape area hit my shoulder blades (stretched).
Revisited hit: Wild Growth Hair Oil. I put a few drops on my scalp last night to soothe the itch. Im going to start using this one regularly.
Miss: whatever my loctitician used for my last retwist. It had a great hold but caused my scalp to itch.

I’m late!!!
EVERYTHING you said is how I feel about oil rinsing. It helps with detangling but it seems to leave a film on my hair that prevents my leave ins from penetrating. My hair is left dry and hard after a few days. I had to stop doing them.
I love it
I like it just wish it didn't smell like perfume

Girl listen, I spray Victoria Secret body mists in my hair so that should tell you something about me.

Something has got to take you out of this world. Even the air we breathe is pretty dirty right now. I made up my mind to just enjoy whatever I love to do without blaspheming God, the Holy Spirit.

I'm not saying I avoid everything..... Because that's impossible. I just don't like what's in PErfume and wouldn't want to irritate my scalp. I own one and the that's it. I use oils

I got her brush when it first came out and to be honest didn't really use it. Her newer versions seem sleeker as the one I have has sharp plastic edges in some places and looks smaller.

You like what you like and I like what I like. Let's just leave it at that.
No need to be rude. I thought it was a conversation. Thought that was the whole point of a thread. Why are you getting defensive chick
I was nervous about buying it. I'll stick to fingers

Actually I thought you were getting defensive. That's why I said you do you and I'll do me. Let's leave it at that. This way, we won't cross paths. You know we don't have problems with each other in this forum. You're new, so I'll excuse you for now. Watch how we behave with each other. We respect each other's right to be different and leave it alone. You'll learn that if you Stay a part of this forum Long enough. Just remember, the moderators can kick you out if you're a trouble maker. They have before and they will again if you don't simmer down.

Hey, I like your posts, but you got to pick up the clues when someone is done with a conversation. As for me, I don't care about having the last word-I just stop talking.

Initial Hits:
Cantu apple cider vinegar root relief. This product is marketed to those with protective styles and locs. It claims to soothe itching and refreshes the scalp. It does soothe the itchies within minutes and the relief lasts. I have been in Havana twists for over 2 weeks and used this weekly to ensure that my scalp behaved since I don't wash my hair when it's in extensions. The consistency and performance is like hand sanitizer. Once the gel is applied and massaged into the scalp it dissipates. This product didn't leave any buildup after the two applications and my scalp felt great. I'll report back once I remove these twists.
Curl Origin Argan and castor edge paste. This is marketed as an edge control and strengthener. I have been using this about 3x weekly to keep my edges looking neat and it does a good job at that. What I love about it is that despite multiple re-applications, there is no buildup or ugly residue left behind. I can't attest to the edge strengthening aspects because I don't have an issue with thinning edges. I will also report back once I remove these twists .
APB's Dry oil body spray. Although this is marketed as a body product, I've been using it 3x a week as braid sheen spray in place of the ORS shine spray I normally use when in extensions. This gave great shine and left my hair feeling awesome and not greasy. Another definite must have for when in protective styles.
Continued Hits:
HTN follocle mist and NW21. Both of these are keeping my scalp and hair on point whilst in this protective style.

Do you mix anything with the mango butter or do you melt it before use?
