Cult Favorites

[TeaAndSketches]

Just curious, what are some cult favorites that you have found to work for your hair type and what are some that don't?

[SwanFeathers]

Do you mean products or styles?

[daisy rei]

Why don’t you read through the Conventional Products sub-forum? There are lots of popular products discussed there.

Everybody seems to love OGX coconut line but it gave me horrific shedding. Huge handfuls of hair. Never used it again.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I love Shea Moisture and the Wet Brush!

First thing that comes to mind is the tangle teezer, love it and have done for years.

Ditto, normally my hair doesn't care what products I use, but OGX was awful for me.

Hmm some product favorites could be Tangle Teezers, boar bristle brushes, Invisibobbles, hair turbans and hair toys like sticks and barrettes and such (Ficcares and Flexis). Some brands that pop up often could be Shea Moisture, Herbal Essences, Kinky Curly, Garnier, L'Oreal etc. Many like methods such as CO-washing, CWC, ROO and LOC/LCO, for example.

For me it would have to be the Shea Moisture jamaican black castor oil hair mask and the coconut and hibiscus conditioner. They both leave my hair much easier to detangle. Most shea moisture products are pretty good. I have also used the tangle teezer for many years.

For me it is Mason Pearson brush (the smallest one). I lost one and I just had to buy new one because I liked it so much. My hairtype is very thin, and lots of hair.

This pretty much covers what I was thinking. I will add Eden Bodyworks even though I'm not quite sure theres a cult following...I have only seen it mentioned a few times around the forum. I like the deep condition treatment with marshmallow root and almond. I'll also add a wooden comb :)

Wooden comb is a great addition :) I have heard so much good about marshmallow root! Would definitely like to try products that have it.

[milosmomma]

I highly recommend it, since stopping cones it is the closest thing that gives me that cone-like slip :)

Ohhh that sounds so good...! :thumbsup:

Welcome to the forum! :)

Shea Moisture JBCO mask and Kinky Curly Knot Today. Love them both :)

As for cult faves that don’t work for me, Suave and VO5 seem to be pretty popular for co-washing, and my mom made me use them for years as a kid since she assumed the same stuff that worked for her fine, oily, type 1 hair was best for me. Neither works for me. I need much heavier conditioners to see any noticeable effect or even for co-washing.

Pantene seems to be an almost timeless favourite among some longhairs.

For me, Garnier products seem to work extraordinarily well. It almost doesn't matter what I use from them.

A lot of the popular brands like the above-mentioned Suave and VO5 aren't available where I live.

Things my hair likes: boar bristle brush, Hello Hydration conditioner, spin pins, vinegar rinses. Do wide toothed combs count or are they just a logical tool and not a cult favorite?

I tried marshmallow rinse in my hair but my hair hated it.

[Liz_H]

Are the tangle tweezers good for fine hair?

They work for my fine hair, but as with all things YMMV

[ExpectoPatronum]

I use quite a few cult favorites - Shea Moisture JBCO mask, Kinky Curly Knot Today, I own both a Tangle Teezer and a Wet Brush that I use on occasion. I also love my Denman brush for creating clumps and defining my curls.

[ArabellaRose]

My cult favourites are the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration conditioner and the Wet brush.

My other must have products (though I've not seen many other people mention using them) are all from the Loreal Dream Lengths range.

There's now a TT specifically for fine and thin hair (supposedly its made of softer material than the Original) but I haven't used it myself nor read reviews yet.

[MusicalSpoons]

Ooh, Kinky Curly Knot Today is one product I would rather like to try. Also meadowfoamseed oil seems to have popped up on the radar and sounds really very interesting!

My cult favourite is a technique rather than a product, but the Rinse-Out Oil method. All the moisture locking of oil but insanely less lint!
