Well I'm finishing my 13th week post relaxer......I have never stretched this long before...The longest was 12 weeks...So far so good...

The Texture of this was very creamy...Which was perfect..
It has a very light sweet fruity smell...Its one of the scents that either you like it or you don't...I enjoyed the scent
I lightly spritz my edges then applied Organics to all of my edges and brushed into my hair....Then on top of that I used my Aloe Vera Gel and brushed into my edges...Put my hair in a low pony tail...Then I spritz my Pony tail and applied Organics to the length of my pony tail then sealed with Avocado Oil...And it worked great..I won't be using this on my scalp because I'm using the Castor Oil for that
The only con that I noticed was on my Sons hair who is natural of course . If you apply to wet natural hair or use too much it turns white ...I didn't have this problem ...
If I like this is truly still up in the air...
What hair dresses are you using that do not contain Petroleum or Mineral Oil ???

WHAT ABOUT ELASTA QP MANGO BUTTER? isnt that a great thick moisturizer that works wonders on edges? I use it for mine, please let me know if this use is detrimental!
Thanks HHG!
but it does have parabens which can cause an array of healt issues. (look it up if you wish)
i use hollywoodb beauty carrot creme. that's great for my coarse hair! it's lightweight and smells good!
@ Loveprincess...I used to be a huge fan of QP Mango Butter in the beginning of my hair journey...Im not sure why I stopped using it...I still have some some...
@ Anonymous...Yes it does have parabens...I typed out the ingredients...So I would know that right
Unrefined shea butter works well for my new growth when I pull my hair back in a bun/pony. I would advise to spritz your new growth before applying the product but you already do that:)
I've been using the ORS carrot oil lately for my edges and ends. I really like, but you can definitely smell the carrot.
I use Oyin's Burnt Sugar Pomade. It smell great and gets the job done right
I use Hollywood Beauty Olive Creme and Carrot Creme as my main moisturizers. They have a lot of great ingredients in them.
I just started using Cantu Shea Butter "Grow Strong Strengthening Treatment". It doesn't list petroleum or mineral oil as ingredients and I can feel the difference after a couple of days. It has a creamy texture similiar to the Organics Olive Oil you purchased.
I tried this and loved it initially but after a while instead of moisturizing my hair is actually made it feel dry... I was starting to get nasty crispy ends... not a cute look. SO I had to put it away. I don't know why it had to start "acting up" because I really did like it initially. But then again my hair is like that with most moisturizers. I hope you end up liking it :)
I didn't like the Organics By Africa (too heavy), but it's on clearance at Target if anyone wants to try it.
That whipped gelly by hairveda works wonders for slicking down my edges and JBCO, unbelievably, slicks down my hair. Who woud've thought? Usually,I have to use water, creams, gels and conditioner all at once to get my poor hair slicked down, especially my edges! lol. THis sounds like some good stuff you're using here TRaycee :)
wow thats a long stretch for you!! you usually been have relaxed your hair by now and once i started using the Aphogee 2 min reconstruct biweekly that i have less shedding!!! i use to stretch till 12wks but my hair be looking a hot mess at 6wks so 10wks is my max!!!
I'm looking for another moisterizer. I have got the elasta qp mango butter which I love but it brings me out in spots. So I'm using unrefined shea butter mixed with cocounut oil but I dont want to use it every day as its a bit heavy. The Africa's Best Organincs has a shea butter and tea tree oil moisterizer which I'm thinking of trying. That too has no mineral oil or petrolatum.
My favorite products for slicking down edges are:
1)Carol's Daughter Kizzi 'Stay-Put Pomade'
2)Hairveda's Whipped Gelly
I am into more natural products, and I like that these are free of not only petroleum/mineral oil, but also silicones and parabens, and they work great.
