I just used Kimmay's leave in... Instead of Knot Today, which i also love, I used Cantu Shea butter leave in. Its wonderful!!! I did feel oil in my hair after it dried (I think I used a little too much) but my hair has pretty much soaked it all up. I love this conditioner and I will continue to use it. My hair was super soft and i really liked the way it looked.
I've used aloe vera juice in my hair before (as a spritz with water) and though I know it's moisturizing I was not pleased with the results. It left my hair feeling a bit dry (I think)... but it works wonders in Kimmay's concoction.
Also ladies as a side note, I've found that jojoba oil works awesome when I'm wearing my hair straight.. it gives me moisture without weighing my hair down. when my hair is pressed i can literally put a drop or 2 of jojoba oil in my hair and it moisturizes nicely. below is a pic of my hair after a drop of the oil after I'd unwraped my hair. (one drop does the trick for my 4a/b short med density hair). also jojoba oil is very close to sebum so its not supposed to be very heavy.
