ORS HAIRestore Hair Fertilizer 6 oz
Take the name as branding rather than description. What is in the 6 oz jar is a moisturising creme for the scalp and the lengths, built on nutrient-rich herbs, and it has held a place in textured hair routines for decades on the strength of how it performs as a daily moisturiser.
It goes on the scalp first, a small amount massaged in, then combed through so the lengths get some of it too. On dry, weak hair the effect is straightforward conditioning: softer strands that handle a comb without snapping, and a scalp that stops feeling tight between washes.
Daily use is fine, and most people find they need less than they first reach for. A jar this size lasts months at the correct dose and weeks at the wrong one.
ORS notes that if your scalp is sensitive, their Carrot Oil is the better pick from the range. Worth knowing before you commit to something you will use every day.

Application tips
Start with a fingertip's worth. Warm it between your hands, then press it into the scalp in rows an inch or so apart before drawing your palms down through the hair.
A comb afterwards spreads whatever is left to the ends. It can go on daily, though most textured hair does well on every other day. Leave it out if rich creams make your scalp feel uncomfortable.
Results
Weak, dry hair feels more substantial and the scalp stops feeling tight between washes. That combination is why the jar has stayed in so many bathroom cupboards over the years.
Strands soften enough that a comb moves through without tearing at the ends, so less comes away at detangling. The creme sits on the hair rather than soaking in fully, which reads as heavy on fine textures; on coarse hair the weight is the point.
