Emeritus,
I use Wave Nouveau and Elasta QP Mango Butter. If I'm bunning, I'll use Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Leave-in. The Wave Nouveau is my favorite since it's lighter than the other two and it's designed specifically for textured hair. The other two I love for bunning and ponytails because I can slick my hair down and scarf it for a sleek, moisturized 'do. All keep my new growth feeling great. I hope this helps!
