Can anyone tell me how you use this on your natural ethnic hair...just apply like any other moisturizer?

You can use it just as if it was a pomade or you can melt it which would be easier to use. If you watch YouTube there's more information on how to use Shea butter for you hair.

You can put it in your hair. I do. I apply it when its dry. Rub a small amonut in your hands and fingertips then rub your fingertips on your scalp and wioe and rub it into the rest of your hair. I have blonde hair and makes it realshiney and manageable.

No. It is a great moisturizer but you use very little. Rub between your hands until warm, don't use too much, like an 8th of a teaspoon, otherwise too much. Experiment, but put it on very wet hair, best immediately after washing. Then squeeze hair with coated hands. Great on feet!!! Apply when wet, just experiment.

Hi Lisa, I used it on my 5 year old's shoulder length natural ethnic hair and it worked fine. I made sure to keep it only on her hair and not let the steam touch her scalp. It worked perfectly for me.

I also use "its a 10 oil with keratin". But 1st I use the leave -in conditioner then add just 2 pumps of the oil. Wrap my hair in a towel for 15 minutes and it detangles and tame with out the greasy feel! I just love these stuff!!

I put a little on my hand after shower and moisturize my hair, on weekends I used it as hot oil on dry hair. You can also use it as lotion too

Hi Melinda, as someone who researches natural products & been using coconut oil for almost a year now, I would apply at bedtime. I typically moisturizer with coconut oil before bed... More time to absorb... That's what I would do (to start) and see how it works. Good luck :)

I would imagine it's good for dry scalp! I don't have a dry scalp though so I can't tell you if it worked for me in that department. As for the deep moisturizer once week I actually do a clarifying/deep moisturizing routine and I actually use Neutrogena anti residue and then follow up with Aussie 3 minute miracle moist and that works like a charm. I haven't found anything better for moisturizing than the Aussie stuff. If you're looking for a salon brand though instead of drug store I would check with someone else who may have found something good...I have yet to find something better though!

My own hair is curly but I am not Afro American. However, friends of mine who are use the products with really great results (they do not relax it and they have really nice springy, defined curls!) . It is the moisturizing nature of this product line that makes is perfect for your type hair (assuming it is coarse and curly since you asked). I would not hesitate to try it. You might want to try Fig for the most moisture and use it with Tea Tree (which everyone should use!). Start with the cleanser and the styling gel (any scent you like) and make the oils a close third you try. The oils (any scent you like) can be used the night before you cleanse your hair and if you have very coarse hair you can even mix a few drops in with your styling creme to add moisture and shine during the day. If you start off with that approach you will get the best results for your type hair. As you use the products you will learn what is best for in the line. Try it, I have a feeling you'll like it. My friends, hisband and I won't do without it now!

My stylist instructed me to use the product primarily at the roots of my hair, which gives my hair volume & lift, without feeling "tacky". I don't have long hair, but was instructed to pump 6 or 7 times into my hand and massage it mostly into the roots. Of course the rest of my hair gets a "small dose" but it's not where the focus of the application is. The smaller amount the rest of my hair receives keeps it from being "fly away" after styling, without feeling tacky. Of course, I use it on wet hair, before blow drying. If I don't use the product, my fine hair lies limp and flat, with zero lift and style. I've used the product for more than 3 years and and love it.

I don't use it as a moisturizer. I use it first after cleansing and then wait 10 minutes and apply moisturizer.

It will depend on your hair type. I am Caucasian with fairly thick hair. I use a TINY bit rubbed between my palms to smooth flyaways, and it does not make my hair greasy because it's such a small amount. If you are looking for an all over hair moisturizing treatment, I'd try coconut oil instead.

Yes. I have natural 4C African American hair and I think this is personally a great product to have in my arsenal. When you are transitioning through those stages it can be really hard to keep your hair moisturized but I use it daily, and extra on wash day. I also add it to my homemade hair masks that I like to do a couple times a week.

I use this product with Mizani Milk Bath Shampoo and no you do not have to use a moisturizer/deep conditioner afterwards. It detangles, softens, and add tons of body to your hair. Just apply after shampooing, put on a plastic cap and sit under a hooded dryer for 30 mins. This products works better than any conditioner I've ever used.

I simply use this solely as it moisturizes and the soufle gel makes my hair hard. But it really depends on your hair texture. That combination may work for you. The curl milk leaves your hair soft. I apply this first then seal the moisture in with Shea butter.

The reason why I purchased it was to use as a hair oil. I mixed it with EVOO, rosemary, castor oil and coconut oil. How you would apply it would be based on exactly what you plan on using it for; hair or skin.

I mix this with other oils (of choice) you need only a tinch of Lanolin, say 2 (two) drops of Lanolin to 7-8 drops of carrier oil. I do like for myself (as a body oil) grape seed oil. Different skin takes different oils, just research on which ones soak in to the layers of skin. Limited for the face oil, for myself I find Jojoba oil with a tinch of apricot oil (10 to 2)work well, I mix mine in a 2 ml bottle, dab on face and gently rub in, am in my 60's and this works well for me. Tip: always research to find what is best, do not just take the word of others. Have fun!!

I think it was originally created for African American hair, but it works great on my extremely fine, thick, naturally wavy, very dry Caucasian hair. I'd get the moisturizing conditioner to go with it. I think it works as well as Bumble & Bumble Invisible Oil shampoo and conditioner, and it's a whole lot less expensive. Hope that helps.
