I didn’t mean to be so long-winded with my first comment, but I am so sick of the natural hair “gurus” who think their way is the best only way.

Exactly. Different strokes for different folks. I’m nearly 45 years old and I’ve been natural for all but 9 years of my life. I’ve tried all kinds of products over the years. Some worked well for me, but not for other people and vice versa. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with using butters, oils, creams, whips, etc.…
