So my last post talked about my search for moisture for my seemingly EVER-thirsty strands. Well, I think I've figured out a moisture regimen that actually works for my hair. I have been using Oyin Handmade products for a few months now, specifically their Honey Hemp Conditioner. This conditioner is in a word, AWESOME!! I love it and most importantly, my hair loves it. The ingredients are all natural, the consistency is creamy and leaves my hair feeling oh-so-soft. I've been using this to co-wash and one day while reading the list of ingredients to my sister I realized it can also be used as a leave-in. I thought "hmmmm".
I also use the Kinky-Curly Knot Today leave-in in my daughter's hair. My daughter's hair is extremely thick and seems to swell when wet. While her hair is not coarse, it tangles mercilessly leaving us with a painful detangling session with her asking me "mommy, why do you always hurt me?" while I'm detangling. The Knot Today has been a life-saver on her weekly wash days as it has really great "slip" allowing the comb to literally glide through her hair. I swear it has shaved a good 30 minutes off of my daughter's hair washing session. One day I tried Knot Today in my own hair and thought it was okay but after my hair dried, my hair felt a little stiff so I figured I'd leave it alone or use it with a creamy moisturizer whenever I found one that did the trick.
Last week I decided to combine the two after my shower and it worked so well, I've been doing it every day. So here's my new daily regimen:
*co-wash with Honey-Hemp conditioner
*while hair is damp add small amount of Knot Today
*add small amount of Honey-Hemp as a leave-in
*seal with organic coconut oil
My hair is unbeliveably soft and remains that way even after it dries!! Holy cow! I've finally found a way to keep my hair moisturized!!
