Did you find this locally or purchase on line???

Oh both actually... Found the ultimate bss over here in Oakland with lots of salon products. Got the 8oz size there, tried it out, loved it, and got the liter off Amazon.com for a little over 40 dollars. Definitely a good investment.

Hits:

deep conditioning: wow. i never thought i'd be a dc convert. but, i was bored and decided to treat myself today. so i shampood my hair (after 1.5 weeks of cowashing) and then i applied to dc to my hair in sections. then i detangled with a brush and put the little sections in braids. omg, yal, when i rinsed the dc out my hair was soft, springy, had great slip, and no tangles! it was amazing. i've finally seen the light. so from now on, i will try to dc once a week, and i am on a journey to find my staple dc.

washing in braids: omg. freakin amazing! i rinsed out my dc while in the same braids, and when i took them down to blowdry, my hair was still detangle. the only thing i didn't like is that it took me a while longer to rinse all the dc out, because i did not want to unbraid my hair and risk it tangling. but still, washing in braided sections is gonna make wash days so easy. i think i'm finally becoming a real lhcf'er, by choice! cool beans! ♥

Misses:

Denman Ripoff Brushes: now, don't get me wrong, i do like my brush, just not on my coily hair. i was detangling with this earlier today and while it got the job done, there was one thing that has made me put it on my miss list. when i was detangling, i hit a snag, and it was a little tangly knot, and my hair got caught on the brush. its because of those little bulbs on the end of the bristles. so basically the knot got stuck below the little bulb and i couldn't get the brush off of my hair! i had to rip that one little tangle, and that was enough for me to know i need a REAL denman so i won't have to repeat that.

IC Fantasia Hair Polisher Heat Protecter Straightening Serum: me no likey. it did nothing at all for my hair. it was so freakin thin; i should've know then that it wasn't gonna do crap. it didn't make my hair shine at all, and it did nothing to aid against humidity. the only perks were the cherry scent and it made my hair incredibly soft, at the moment anyway. i won't revisit this product. i have a whole bottle of this junk, since i just used a little. i will just give it away to someone. ♥

HIT
Avocado Oil. I never seen an oil give off such an healthy natural shine, it almost makes my hair dried hair (in flexi rods) seem as if its got its silky shine from a flat iron. Its a really good addition to a deep conditioner mix too. I'd suggest this to anyone.
