I use Aura elixir mixed with a bit of coconut oil. This leaves my curls defined and soft.

For leave ins to moisturize, I just use a bit of my regular conditioner.

Webby, can you give more info regarding the Sun Milk Leave-in. I'm currently using B&B and although I do like it, the LA sun is VERY strong, so I would like a leave-in that MOISTURIZES, CONDITIONS and protects against SUN damage. How would u rate this?
TIA!

I've tried about 15 leave in conditioners over the past few months (give or take a few) and this is by far the best one I've used. I have found that some leave in are very protien intensive and if overused, will tangle and dry my hair. Others only show the benefits after prologed use. This one works immediately on day 1 and has been consistent in performance throughout the whole bottle. I only use about 3-5 pumps. it retails for about $12 - $13 per bottle. My hair feels softer which I guess could be attributed to the moisturizing properties. Their Sun Shape Rehydrator after-sun hair balm is also nice. You're supposed to rinse out but I've used it as a leave in. Performance-wise, the Rehydrator is good but not OhMyGawd good. Renee Furterer and PhytoSpecific's leave in conditioner is good as well, but considering it's sold at Nordstroms, I dont think you get as good as a bang-for the buck as the Redken.
In the meantine... I've had the haircut of my life at Toni & Guy and feel much better about my hair than when the pics were taken.
Thanks Webby!

Not to guano this thread, but if your looking to spend $$$$, the Renee deep conditioner is good and is on par with PhytoKarite and the new PhytoSpecific (from Phtyo) and Deep Brilliance (Farouk) lines. Both are better than Fekkai.
I'm looking for a really good MOISTURIZING conditioner right now. I currently have a deep conditioner from Aveda and Curlisto, but they're mostly protein. I want something that is just MOISTURIZING, because there is hardly any moisture in the air in LA. When I was in NYC, KIE was a staple, but I don't think it will do the same job here. I'm also going to purchase a facial steamer, but will be using it more as a "hair steamer" for deep conditioning my hair.
Which of the above conditioners do you find MOISTURIZES the best?

I keep saying it-the Dove extra moisturizing conditioner works great for me, no 'cones, no proteins (I don't think anyway) and my hair pretty much doesn't need gel anymore on a normal day.

I always forget to pick this up when I go to the store (we need a doh! slap on the forehead smiley here).

NetG, I remember buying this awhile back, but I didn't care for the smell - it was too perfumey. As far as drug store conditioners go, I like Suave Humectant better. Right now, I'm looking for a once or twice a week DEEP moisturizing conditioner.

Funny, for me it's not perfumey at all. Perfumes give me asthma attacks, and it doesn't bother me.
Different perceptions, I guess! The easy solution would be sneak a whiff while at the store if anyone else is thinking about buying it!

B&B leave in for months, but recently got the sample size of Sebastian Potion 9, which is lighter. I really like it. I also like ABBA Nourishing, when I do my conditioner-wash at night instead of in the morning.
