Best Daily Moisturizer for Relaxed Hair #1. As I Am Double Buttercream
Highly praised in the relaxed‑hair community:
I alternate between the Living Proof Restore Repair Leave In and the AsIAm Double Buttercream, and seal with the Unlay all natural hair oil.”
This rich cream contains shea butter and cocoa butter—perfect for deep hydration—and works well when sealed with a natural oil.

Also popular for relaxed hair:

Best Hair Moisturizer for Relaxed Hair #3. Mizani Miracle Milk (Leave‑In Lotion)
Rated by seasoned relaxed-hair users:
Described as “excellent for dry relaxed hair,” especially when sealed with jojoba oil.
4. Oil Seals: Jojoba, Almond, Unlay, Argan, Marula
- Unlay natural hair oil: Used to seal moisture under buttercream and leave-in combos.
- Jojoba oil: Expertly recommended as a sealant together with Mizani Miracle Milk.
- Almond oil: Favored for sealing post-moisturizer, adding shine and friction protection .

Hairlicious Inc (founder of “A Relaxed Gal”) confirms this method, using Mizani Miracle Milk + jojoba oil nightly

- Apply cream (As I Am Double Buttercream)
Best Moisturizer for Dry Relaxed Hair
For very dry hair, moisturize your hair with As I Am Double Butter Cream Rich Daily Moisturizer.
Be careful to use only a little, though, otherwise this will make your hair wet and require blow-drying or flat ironing again.
