Products that transtioners cant live without!?!

I'm in my 6 month of transistioning and I have to have my EVOO, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, and Sauve Conditioner.

I'm so glad there is a topic on transitioning products. You all have been very helpful. I wanted to know of some products. I'm going to try the Aubrey products. This is only week # 6 for me. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Thanks!

1. Flexirods for rollersets
2. Cholesterol conditioner (its a good protein conditioner)
3. Olive Oil
4. Raw shea butter [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Im loving Kicky Curly Knot today leave in, it helps comb through my thick new growth. I am 6 months into my transition

HE Hello Hydration is my favorite product so far. It makes detangling and staying moisturized easy.

I really want to try Giovanni products. I think they're called 50:50, and Leave-in conditioner. I also have heard a lot of good things about Qhemet, Aubrey, and Carol's Daughter products too.

Can anyone suggest a good leave in and deep conditioner that's sold in stores..that's the only thing missing from my regimen (or lack there of) at the moment

I'm three months into my transition and I still use my old products that I used with my relaxed hair (no sense in throwing them out now), so here is a list of my old and new:

Shampoo/Conditioner:
Victoria Secret's Nourishing Shampoo for Dry/Damaged Hair (old)
Motions Oil Moisturizer, Silk Protein Conditioner (an old product that works great with my natural growth).

Moisturizer:
Jamaican Mango and Lime Shea Butter Conditioning Sheen (new)
Jamaican Mango and Lime Island Oil (new)
*these two products have been awesome in my hair, especially the oil which has helped me to untangle my new growth easily, leaves my hair shiny and easily malleable. Leaves my hair smelling great too.

It's not my holy grail but it works wonders on my hair.

I have to have my Aphogee 2 min treatment as well my cheapie conditioner for cowashes and as a base my conditioner and oil mixes!

Castor Oil! It makes my hair so soft!

I have to say my Shea butter is the one!! I haven't touched anything else for hold since I got it. Best investment so far....

Shea Butter definitely!! My hair sucks up moisture like a sponge, and the shea butter helps so much with keeping my new growth soft and manageable. I actually didn't start using it til after my little (15y.o.) sister told me to! lol!

Cantu leave in conditioner a must have! Still searching for a good detangler my permed ends tends to get ball up into knots!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Thank you so much for this thread!

I put EVOO mixed with a little Pantene Relaxed & Natual conditioner on my hair with a cap over it and sleep with my hair like that every Friday night. I get up early on Saturday mornings and co-wash. I use a bit of Aussie Moist Conditioner as a leave in and seal with raw shea butter. This is the ONLY thing that has helped my hair to be manageable.

P.S..My inner PJ had me pick up some Aphogee 2min treatment the other day..will try on Saturday & let you know how it goes!

MzLaLaRochelle that sounds like a great way to eliminate tangle hair/ends after washing.....I've tried the Aphogee 2 min conditioner it's great. Although, when it comes to the treatment I am very hesitant to use, be very careful with the Aphogee treament, follow the directions to the "T". BTW I have been transitioning since June 2009 as well....."happy Napptural Journey to ya!"

I only use products that are organic or at least 95% organic/natural.

My favs are
1. Aubrey Organics Glycogen Protein Balancing Conditioner
2. Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Moisturizing Conditioner
3. Giovanni's Smooth as Silk Moisture Conditioner
4. Dr. Bronner's Pure-Catille Soap (Peppermint)

I use #1-3 as overnight deep conditioning treatments, alternating each week. The 4th week of the month, I wash with #4 and deep condition with AO Glycogen Conditioner. I only purchase the above, all other products are homemade.

Right now,

I'm totally lovng Oyin's Honey Hemp Conditioner & Oyin's Juices and Berries!!!

Anyways, I think they are well worth the price....the Honey Hemp has GREEEEEEEEAT SLIP! (It's that Behentrimonium Methosulfate!!! Real talk) & it's light enough to use as a leave-in also.

Juices and Berries is alsoo a fabulous leave in, detangles well & leaves hair extra soft.

Also, ORS Replenshing Conditioner as a DEEP conditioner!

LOVE THEM ALL!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

WELL my must haves have been
-- pure shea butter
-- olive oil
-- coconut oil (i just got this about a week ago and i put it in everything and LOVE THE SMELL!)
-- HE Hello Hydration as a co wash
-- Hair mayonaisse as a deep conditioner but i just might make a concoction from the recipes i'm seeing on the forum
-- just bought some castor oil and almond seed oil soooo we'll see were all this takes me

I just recently bought a Carol's Daughter set that includes the Black Vanilla shampoo, hair smoothie and Healthy Hair Butter. I love the smell of the smoothie. It smells so yummy and I use the hair butter to seal my ends all the time. Since I'm transitioning I must have my flexi rods and satin foam rollers. I have to do something with those permed ends.

1. Herbal Essence Hello Hydration or Totally Twisted for styling
2. Say yes to carrots conditioner for co-wash
3. Shower comb
4. Ampro Styl Gel (Brown)

Ladies, where can I purchase the unrefined shea butter? Besides online. Are there any well-known stores?

@styleandgrace

I know they have unrefined shea butter at Whole Foods in different sizes so you can give it a try. I think it is cheaper online though if you decide you like it.
