Lightweight Hair and Scalp Moisturizing Options

With cold weather on its way, those who are prone to drier skin and scalp may need some extra moisturizing.

KeraCare has a high sheen glossifier and a Dry and Itchy Scalp Glossifier.  The latter has salicylic acid as well as sulfur in it which may be perfect for natural hair clients.

Reminder for Relaxer clients:  Be cautious of using products with sulfur in them near relaxer time.

I typically steer my relaxer clients away from any products with sulfur in them to avoid any timing limitations as to when a relaxer is safe to apply.

Design Essentials has Herbal Complex 4 Hair and Scalp Treatment which is also a lightweight pomade compared to Vaseline.

My Honey Child Hair Grease

As you know I have been on a honey kick!  I found this brand called "My Honey Child" and guess what it has in it?  Yes, you guessed it - HONEY!  I purchased "Sophia's Old Fashioned Hair Grease."

It is made of Sunflower butter, raw honey, and other oils.  The consistency of the product reminds me of Jane Carter Solutions' Nourish and Shine. It has a little weight to it.  The smell is bittersweet.  It is paraben-free so I am not sure of its manufacture date and age. It initially has a unrefined shea butter smell then it has a final sweet note once it is rubbed into the scalp.

It says that it can be used for press and curls. Since it is a butter, I would recommend using it in small moderation. I've been using it for oiling my client's hairline. It will be perfect for when the cold weather hits.

I hope to share some fantastic news about my raw honey experience within another month.  I am still testing a few things.
