A great moisturizing braid and twist-out cream! At night before bed I braid my hair up to protect it from drying out & tangling. I use this to re-moisturize my hair every 2-3days. I highly recommend 🤌🏾⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a great water-based moisturizer. I use this to re-moisturize my braid-outs during the week. Paired with the gel I get a greatly defined set for at least a week.

I'll always use hair grease. I don't use it regularly but occasionally I like to grease my scalp and this is one of my go to hair greases. I like the ingredients and it's light and doesn't sit heavily on my scalp.
