Dry Hair

Everyone has different hair requirements. I am a 4a-z with hair that is fine, medium density, kinky, coily, textured, cottony, or nappy. It is rarely hard and never coarse.

Did I mention how fragile and delicate my hair is?

I envy people who can comb, flat iron, and blow dry nearly every day. It's hard keeping my hands out of my hair. At a minimum, I let three days pass before I comb it again.

What I want from a hair product is that it leaves my hair feeling soft, moisturized, and easy to comb. It's amazing how many products do the first two and not the last one!

Research

Periodically, I must switch products.

I read hair boards, searching for conditioners and gels with the best reviews. I evaluate based on hair type. I don't ignore other hair types. I note those with similar problems: dry hair, often brittle, which leads to breakage.

Garnier Fructis Moisture Works Fortifying Cream Conditioner

For now, this product works. I love the smell, and I can comb my hair after I've washed with it.

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave-In Conditioning Cream

The first time I used this product it left my hair a sticky, clumpy mess with a lot of white residue. I don't know if I finally figured out how to use it or what, but I love this stuff now.

It is excellent for helping me unravel my twists or plaits. The drier my hair is the tighter it gets. This product makes my hair slide apart wonderfully and easily. There's no snapping plaits apart with this.

Overall, I'm satisfied with Garnier Fructis for now.

Hi I ran into your blog by accident. But I feel your pain with the long hair and acne challenge.
I had the same problem that you had for knots at the ends. but I found a good solution. Every time I wash and twist my hair, I cut the ends. I do this after I the twist are dry, I just snip the ends. Doing this will help with that headache of trying to comb out knots the next time around and it will help with your shampoo that is suppose to be a de-tangler. I know you want long hair but I tell you just snip a little off it will help you soooooo much!

Hope this helps some.
