I manage a Sally's and every customer I reccomend this line of products to always come back for more :)

Answer 2

Mane 'N Tail Carrot Oil Creme
Olive Oil Root Stimulator
Lusters Pink Oil Moisturizing Lotion
African Pride Hair Dressing Maximum Strength
Isoplus Oil Sheen Hair Spray

All the products add moisture, shine, some add sunscreen and vitamins to your hair.

I'm sorry but doo-gro is garbage. You are better off using stuff that actually moisturize your hair, not locking moisture out. For shampoos you can try Creme of Nature or Elasta QP Conditioning shampoo. Conditioner: Elasta QP DPR-11, Creme of Nature Nourishing conditioner, or ORS Olive Oil Replenishing Pak. Leave-in conditioner/Moisturizer: Biolage Hydra Seal, BB Castor Oil and Aloe Vera Hair Lotion, maybe Cantu products, Africa's Best Liquid Hair Mayonnaise leave-in conditioner, and something else I forget. Since my hair is very dry I only use Biolage Hydra Seal and Vitapointe on my ends only. So far my hair is down to my shoulders (layered), versus almost a year ago where it was at earlobes.

Basically it doesn't matter what you use but what kind of hair styling techniques you use. I don't blow dry my hair unless I am getting my hair touched up. Same thing with flat iron. To smooth down my edges, I use Elasta QP Glaze and a satin scarf. For me it works like a charm and mind you my hair is tightly curled naturally. If you want, you can visit:

Answer 4

Use light hair products. I like the Pantene Relaxed Products. And I use an Olive Oil Hair Sheen Spray.

Answer 5

It depends on what type (coarse, fine, straight, curly, etc.) hair you have. For example: I have very coarse, heavy hair...I cannot use creme products...my hair will puff even though it is relaxed. I've heard of DooGro, but never tried it. I love the Isoplus product line because my hair requires oil.

There many, many products on the market, but when searching for anything to use on my hair, I always look for "The Proud Lady" symbol on the back of the product...it means it's a black owned company.

Good luck in your search, but be careful. Some products have lots of alcohol in them and can be very damaging to your hair.

Answer 6

Try "Motions"hair products.

Answer 7

DOOGRO AND IT HELPS YOUR HAIR GROW LONG AND THEY JUST MADE A NEW RELAXER.
