- Revolutionary hair products for you

**RedheadMistress** · February 26th, 2011, 11:30 PM

- I recently bought Coconut oil and use it in my hair and WOW, it makes my hair feel and look so much more healthy, which makes me surprised I haven't tried it before .
I used to use baby oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, but coconut is the best so far .
Gives my curls a springyness and soaks up all excess oil !

While brushing it, I can actually imagine it growing to tailbone, like I want it to, but before I never imagined it because it was so damaged and dry .

Which product have you started using during your growth process which you feel has completely changed the way your hair feels ?

This could also be linked to the routines, recently been wrapping my hair while i sleep, which probably protects it a lot from damage in my sleep !

For me, mixing coconut oil with aloe vera gel and using it as a leave-in. It has made my hair really soft and manageable. I use smaller than a pea-size amount, otherwise my hair looks greasy.

Coconut oil and ACV have to be my main revolutionary products.
The ACV has helped banish the horrid itching, burning and dandruff I was experiencing prior, even after I stopped using sulphates. The Coconut oil has transformed by dry, yucky looking, unmanageable lengths and leaves it sooooo soft I can't stop touching it.

- I feel the same !
Well havent used ACV, don't have those problems . Sometimes I don't wash my hair for a week, a week and a half . It doesn't smell and I think I'm slowly getting it used to the No wash or only water method, by doing it, maybe . Which would be amazing .

I find that I like shaking my hair so it gets a lot of volume but then when I brush it, it becomes ridiculously soft and . . wow . I just love it . Love brushing it now ^^

Oh yeah, brushing is probably looked down upon here since it isnt so good for the hair . . but I just can't stop . Combing doesn't make it feel as nice and soft sadly .

Thank you !
I have to see if they're vegan but also I am slowly coming closer to using less products which is making me and my hair happy .
Want to eventually use only oil maybe . .

Awh okay !
I usually use atleast 3 tablespoons, my hair will look oily for maybe 30 minutes, then it soaks it up pretty much and it's curly so it doesn't look greasy luckily .

I read about aloe vera gel and bought some last year but it didn't help at all, I think I might have bought a bad one . Should look around for good ones .

Maybe someone knows about a good aloe vera gel to be found in London ?

For me it is going SL(E)S free. The first brand I used is Dr. Organic and it was bullseye for me! Mind you, I had flaky, itching scalp for years and this worked immediately. My hair feels softer too. Coconut oil is a close second.
