Big Sister Needed...

I am 28 and soon to be 29 on 10/24. I originally went natural July 5, 2007. I began locs August 2008 but had to cut them off June 1, 2010 due to my hair falling out. So, I have had to start all over. My first BC I wore an afro and when it got long enough I wore gel twists. THis time around, I dont want to just wear an afro. I want to be able to use my Eco Styler gel or KCCC. I have tried the eco styler and i have clumps of white stuff. I have been researching and found out that its my leave in...CANTU DOESNT WORK WELL WITH ECO STYLER. I have been using Pantene for my shampoo but I also read that wasnt good either. SO Now Im at a point where I dont know what to use...I need to find a shampoo, conditioner, and leave it....I GREATLY NEED A BIG SIS...

Well there is a wonderful recipe for ecocustard on this forum which have received rave reviews:

As for shampoo since I use them sparingly bi-weekly I use just about anything. But recently I've been feeling totally twisted as it does not leave my hair as dry and as stripped as others. But then again I do use the kimmaytube method:

For condish I'm in love with Herbal Essences Hello Hydration as it make tangles melt, leaves my hair moisturised, and even works great as a leave-in. Also aussie moist is a love of mine.

For deep conditioners I love to mix up my own. I usually start with a base like aussie moist 3 minute miracle or a normal wash out conditioner (but usually aussie moist for its moisturising properties) then add ingredients like egg and mayo for light protein, and oils like coconut, olive and jojoba for shine, and honey and avocado for moisture.

Lastly, to moisturise my hair I keep it simple, I spritz my hair with water to dampen it then apply shea butter or if my hair already has shea butter in it I will seal with a light oil like jojoba. If my scalp feels dry or itchy I will massage my hair with olive oil.

Hope this helped and if you need more help just ask

Thank you so much! I appreciate all of this as it does help a lot!
