Dear CurlyNikki: What’s your go-to winter moisturizer, and how can you really tell it’s getting the job done and not faking the funk? I have type 4b hair and it’s very dry and coarse. At times I feel that products that claim to be moisturizers are really just coating my hair and giving me the appearance of healthy hair. When you share your favorite moisturizer, please give a brief description of your hair please!
Dear Georgia: My hair is fine, mostly waves with some corkscrews in the back. Cottony and naturally very dry.
I *assume* my moisturizer is effective by (1″> the feel of my hair… 2 days later (soft and cottony, not hard and crunchy”>, (2″> the way it makes my hands feel after application, and (3″> overall improved condition of my hair after three weeks of continual use.
I look for water-based moisturizers that contain butters and oils—preferably thick and creamy. Finally, I seek out products that claim to be intensive, rich moisturizers for dry and/or damaged hair. Can you guess my *current* go-to moisturizers? I’ve only been singing their praises for the last two weeks…
