Top 5 BEST MOISTURIZERS for DRY Type 4 Hair (I Can't Live Without These)

[@marilynholdaway9861]

Someone sensible making sense, not exaggerating No making us spend a lot of money.

[@armfrosting]

The best moisturizers for type 4 hair is your fav leave-in conditioner & grease.....yes, grease. I’ve been using it for approx 10 mo.; my twist outs have the best definition & let me tell you....you can say good by to massive single strand knots. It’s really the best kept secret. My favorite grease is LIV creme hairdressing. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed. Oh & my favorite moisturizing conditioner is Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm; it’s like butter. Makes detangling in the shower soooo easy.

[@Honeyjazz29]

Girl you better preach!!! I have been using Liv on my daughters hair mixed with jJust for me lotion since she was 2 years old and now she's about to be 23 and her hair is waist length! I never strayed from that regimen.... For my hair, I use S-curl curl activor....You remember how the jerri curl grew our hair?? Soul glow included but you had length... I love to moisturizer my scalp with it especially when I am wearing crochet braids.I 😀

[@Honeyjazz29]

@@petronalindsay4114 Hello, just rub or spray it on your scalp and in your hair... I use it on my scalp to keep it from itching and keep it moisturized ..I also use it on my synthetic crochet hair to maintain its luster and not look dull..🙂....Hope that helps...Stay safe!!🙂

[@sedie94]

I'm 4b-4c and I basically use all the ones you use. I swear by knot today and the shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie. I also like to mix castor oil and/or jojoba oil into my deep conditioner and leave-ins. It works wonders for my hair. Recently I've been using texture ID styling creme and I love it! It's reasonably priced too. Thanks for the video 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@b00tay7]

I really like the As I Am leave-in conditioner!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

I use that on my son!!

[@cameronray5371]

Finally!!!!! Someone on here has sort of the same hair type & struggles that I have. I’m still kind of new at natural hair. I’ve been natural for about 6 mos now. It’s been a journey just trying to find products that work. I tried Design Essentials Almond & Avocado line but it wasn’t giving me that definition that I longed for. I’m currently using Mielle Pomegranate & Honey line. You should try it. Can’t wait to see your video on these products.

[@tabmcgee0519]

Yay! It's rare to find some as new to natural hair as me. I'm quickly approaching 8 months and I'm still trying to find my fave staples. It's weird because I think I might like something but then I'm not 100% is actually good for my hair. Literally pinpointed my low porosity DAYS ago. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@moniquebrown7437]

Mine too. My hair is really thick, beautiful, and course.

[@samanthatynisa]

I have tried most of the ones you named except the Carol's Daughter one. i HAVE to try that because I love the Black Vanilla smell and I like the price point.🙂 The Kinky Curly doesn't work well for me.😕 I have tried it multiple times because Naturals swear by it and it just never works for me. It was too watery. My hair loves creamier hair products. The As I Am products are everything! 😍😍😍 I have been using that brand for years. 🥰🥰🥰 They are my tried and true hair product line that I keep going back to when all else fails.💞 Right. Now.. I am LOVING my Miss Jessie's Leave-In Condish! This is truly my favorite moisturizer so far! I just purchased all the bottles that were left on the Walmart shelf bc I couldn't find them in the previous Walmart that I had gone to. And my runner up to Miss Jessie's is Auntie Jackie's Leave In conditioners. I can't remember the exact names but there's 2 of them that I'm obsessed with! Thank you so much for another lovely video. I'm learning so much and plus it just feels like tea with the ladies, talking about our hair. 😀

[@conteh4447]

On my daughter who is a 4b, I use the Mielle Mongongo oil hydrating conditioner *without* protein. The protein makes her hair break, and it is the one thing we've stuck with. Her hair is also better when she washes at least once per week.

[@Stemmer94]

As i am is a dream and it kept me natural. going on 3 yrs natural after a big chop and happy with my hair

Kinky curly is my number 1 leave in/detangler but with a twist. I dilute some in my spray bottle and it strecthes the product to provide double slip because it's already so concentrated. Its cut my detangle sessions in half. Give it a try one day

Mielle leave in conditioner is what I've been using since I cut my hair a year ago

[@FTYC2022]

I had to come back to let you know I picked up SM smoothie and decided to try the Shea Moisture JBCO/peppermint leave in and the styling lotion (with the tan label) as well. The SM smoothie didnt do much for my extremely dry hair, however, I was extremely impressed with the SM Jamaican black castor oil styling lotion. There is a patch of hair in the front of my head that is extremely porous and dry. Even As I Am double butter (which was my fave) couldn't retain moisture there for long but the JBCO styling lotion did and my twistout looked great. I was shocked. Since you like Shea Moisture, I would definitely recommend you give it a try! I just bought 4 bottles 🤣.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Oh wow, that’s amazing! I’m glad you found something that works. I just bough like 5 products recommended in the comments and my bank account is screaming at me. 😂 I’m testing new products, but I’ll keep your in mind for next time. Thanks for letting us know. 🥰❤️

I'm screaming for help! Ive used so many type of shampoos and conditioner in my hair, and all of them makes my hair frizzy and feels dry, ive used olive oil shampoo, argan maracoo oil, shea butter repair for conditioner, doesn't rlly repair for me, and it's all just a mess. I check everywhere like yt and google, and i search what shampoo is good for moisture 4c hair and make it soften. Suddenly i see a good one but many people says it bad, I just want to find a shampoo for me, and i don't know how to do that. I get so jealous seeing girls like you with healthy shiny soft hair. My only hair routine is wash n go with argan moroco oil and conditioner in some minutes. And the only moisture i use is coconut oil and Castor oil that's it. But ive thinking of buying the camel rose curler, and maybe shea butter Castor oil. But I'm just scared that the same thing will happen again. That's a big reason why i never go with my natrueal hair. It looks and feels dry and frizzy. Can someone please tell me what shampoo, conditioner, moisture is good for my hair? I'm just so confused. Big love for your videos infact 🥰

Let me know when you find out, I have 4b and it won’t stay moisturized for long as it’s short now, when I grow it out it retains things a lot better.

[@valeriedavis2767]

My hair was very dry. I currently use the African Pride Moisture pre-shampoo, shampoo, conditioner and leave-in. Very cheap $5.99. I use either Spanish almond oil on my scalp or I've recently made (diy) clove water, whipped shea butter and rosemary on my hair. My problem is my hair doesn't or hasn't grown. Now that I know what works for me as far as moisture trying to fine something to make my hair grow.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

There is unfortunately no product that can make your hair grow. Growth rate can’t be changed so your main objective is really to stop breakage. The good news is you e found something that works for you. At this point it’s about patience, low manipulation hairstyles, trimming, and keeping it hydrated.

[@iFixLemonade]

I have been thinking about the As I Am. Seems like I have tried everything up until this point. I've used Shea Moisture for years off and on. My daughter likes it more than I do. I loved the old formula. Sometimes, it feels too thick for my hair, but I will do it in a jam. I have been crushing on Miche products for a while. I think I've finally found the one.

Sometimes water can shrink ur hair but for a or of people water and moisture weighs down the hair and makes it longer and as it evaporates or dries the hair will shrink
