Ladies....

I have afro-permed hair and want to start using hairline products from one company. Perm, shampoo, conditioner, etc. What do you recommend based on what you've tried or are currently using? Also, has anyone tried Dr. Miracle's hair products and how is it?

Profectiv products, www.strengthofnature.com, are good to use. I love their relaxer, hair oil, and all they need now is some hair coloring, I think I would be done with everyone else. I even liked my hair when I was natural using their products.

I use Designer's Touch relaxer. However, for my next touch up I plan to try Phyto relaxer.

Shampoo: I use Elucence Moisture Shampoo- (major slip)
Conditioner: I have soo many. The ones I would recommend:
Elucence Moisturizing conditioner- Excellent & good detangler
Kenra Intensive Emollient Moisturizing treatment - Excellent-it moisturizes and detangles at the same time.(I use a tiny bit of this as a leave in and my hair is soft for days)
Chi silk Infusion - as a leave in makes my hair very strong & healthy looking.

I find I have little to no shedding when I use Kiehls with silk groom. I only use a dollop of this after a wash & before I set. You may find your hair is not as shiny (depending on your hair) but I have tested this out on a number of occasions and the shedding stops.

You can get these products online

I recently tried SoftSheen Optimum Oil therapy conditioner. It strengthens your hair. I liked it, but it was not a super detangler. You can get this in stores.

Try different products and see what works best for your hair.

Elucence I get here: http://www.mrgees.net/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=6

Anyone found a good leave in?

and dey call me a product junkie grrrrrrrrl I have too many, I do love Kemi-Oyl Shea leave-in. They have two versions, liquid and creamy, creamy is better for relaxed hair (just leavese a little bit of softness). I used the liquid when I was starting out being natural back in '05 (relaxed right now).

lol...I have sooo many products/conditioners, i've put myself on a no buy ban for Lent. I've been in denial but I just might be a hair product junkie. .lol
I can't seem to find a leave in that I like. I have design essentials but I notice when I use it I shed a lot when I don't I have normal shedding.
I'll put the kimi-oyl leave in (creamy) on my watch list. *sight* I'm all anxious to try it.. lol
