What's a great leave-In conditioner and pressing cream/oil?
Mane and chic responds:
I like Giovanni Direct leave in and Kinky Curly's Knot Today. During my transition in 2007, before I became more ingredient- conscious I used Salerm and Lacio Lacio. All of these items can be purchased online through a simple google search. Giovanni and Kinky Curly are available at most Whole Foods. Giovanni is every where: Target, Rite Aid, etc.
I don't like to use a "pressing cream/oil". I don't know why but that just made me cringe. I might use a pea sized amount of Lisa's Hair Elixir or Adara Coconut Oil on my hair before I flat iron, right after I take the rollers out. I don't usually use any products, but sometimes I just need a little more sheen. I think any natural light oil will do. No need to be heavy-handed. Less is more here or else your hair can look weighed down and dirty. Also, only use heat tools on clean hair, not second day or third day hair. There's no need to use any kind of heat tool more than once a week.
Anybody else have any suggestions for Anne?

which specific ingredients found in lacio lacio and salerm 21 are you not feeling? just curious? did you find they worked for you while you were using them?
ReplyDeleteThey were just both highly chemicalized unlike Giovanni and Kinky-Curly. You can google "lacio lacio ingredients" or "salerm ingredients" to see for yourself. Yes, I liked them when I was using them. They are on par and quite similar to Knot Today and Giovanni. It's just the ones I use now are more natural.
