As some of the readers know, I bought 100% Unrefined Palm KERNEL oil from Coastal Scents last month. I was initially impressed with the Palm Kernel because it is very, very soft and feels good when you rub it between your fingers.  And my initial reaction has not changed.

I am currently on a light (lite) conditioner kick at the moment.  I know, I know!

For a while, my hair didn't really respond to lite DIY mixes and preferred heavier, thicker and more substantial DIY and store-bought leave-in conditioners.  

DIY mixes with ingredients like shea butter, and with higher percentages of BTMS and cetyl alcohol, worked very well for me.  These types of leave-ins can be classified as 'thick' conditioners depending on the percentages used.

Thick conditioners often work to add and/or seal in moisture.  I used to think a conditioner HAD to be thick in order to moisturize my hair well.  Well, that's turning out not to necessarily be the case.

5BasicIngredientsLeaveInF curlytea

Someone asked the other day what the basic ingredients were to make a good leave-in.  I had to think about this because I'm so used to experimenting with great humectants, extracts, teas, emollients, etc.

But even without all those things, there are some very basic ingredients which will make a fairly good leave-in for naturally curly hair.

Sheryl-Underwood-NoWig

Sheryl Underwood must think its 1913 and not 2013.  She dun stepped in it with a lot of people, and not just natural hair chicks either.

Underwood (@sherylunderwood) had some... interesting... things to say about natural, nappy, afro-textured hair.  And while she may try to play it off as just a joke, if you watch the video and the context (and look at the big a$$ weave she's sporting), you may not be laughing along with her.
