Awww! Thank you! It's going on my 5th month and started with ultra short TWA! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I'd love to know what products you've used that didn't work and ones you have used/use that work well in your hair. Looks like we have the same hair type/texture--4a?

Some Grades for SOME of the Products I've Tried:

All Qhemet products except the Heavy Cream - A

Crown Essentials - C+

Curls - C-

Oyin - C+

Coconut Oil - A

Castor Oil - A

EO Conditioners - A-

Suave - F

Herbal Essence - D+

Trader Joe's Tea Tree Conditioner - A

Aussie - C-

I could go on, but y'all get the picture! My hair is SUPER dry, loses moisture quickly (dry climate) and doesn't curl up unless I use coconut oil in my conditioners. I cowash everyday; I have to, otherwise I'd look like Gumby.

I cant live with out aubrey organics honey suckle rose co, island naturals co, black expressions patene, hello hydration herbal essences..
wild growth oil, coconut oil and castor oil. and if one styling aid, eco styling gel.

You've used a lot of products. I keep my product list to a minimum, because I'm on a budget and I just use what my hair agrees with.

Right now:
Shampoo: Giovanni Tea Tree
Conditioner: HE Hello Hydration, Garnier Sleek & Shine, or Suave Coconut
Sealant: Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter
Moisture Spritz: Water, EVOO, Conditioner, Jojoba, Castor, Glycerin, and fragrance (warm vanilla)

My hair has really maintained well with these products. When I first BC'd, I did daily wash and gos with Suave Cocount and my spritz. Worked beautifully.

Spectrum Organic Virgin Coconut Oil and Oyin's Honey Hemp Condish [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I couldnt live without my QB AOHC, Oyin Frank Juice, HE TT, Coconut Oil, and newly added Afro Veda Totally Twisted Ginger Butter.

Spray bottle...

I can't live without...

coconut oil...I use it to oil my hair before washing, as a conditioner, and throughout the week to help keep my hair moisturized...I've been using it for over a year and it'll be part of my haircare for life.

taliah waajid protective mist bodifier...it is the most perfect detangler/moisturizer/styler...I love that it meets all my needs and I don't have to use a bunch of different products to do my hair.

I can't live without KCCC-it is my favorite product for the "wet" look. Everything else is interchangeable, but KCCC is unmatched. I also can't live without my wide-tooth comb.

My unrefined shea butter
coconut oil
Deva care one
Olive oil

and of course my KBB products! hehehe...that list almost got long...hehe

I can't live without my Garnier Fructis Leave-in Conditioner !

It leaves my hair soft & curly without weighing it down. I definitley would recommend it to anyone searching for a good leave-in conditioner. Give it a try !

I cannot live without shea butter and water. These keep my hair at it's best.

my hello hydration, vatika oil, and cantu shea leave in...

Shea butter and henna, simply because my people have been using this for ages, by the way if you live in NYC, take a trip to Little Senegal / 116th street and you will find the best and least expensive shea butter and huge bags of pure henna for like 5 bucks!
Coconut Oil
Jane Carter Solution shampoo
HE TT condish
Giovanni 50/50 condish
