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

Oh both actually... Found the ultimate bss over here in Oakland with lots of salon products.:lick: 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.:yep:
 
Hits:

deep conditioning: wow. i never thought i'd be a dc convert. :giggle: 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 :lick: 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. ♥
 
Continued Hits: Elucence MBC, Yes to Carrots mud mask, wheatgerm oil, JBCO, LongAid curl activator gel for my wet buns...I know I'm forgetting something :scratchch

Hits
Tresseme naturals moisturizing conditioner- used to cowash out a fenugreek/hibiscus tea rinse
castor oil on wet/dry hair-mixed with some hibiscus infused grapeseed/olive
finally finding an oil blend of bhringraj that I love-olive, grapeseed and splash(lol) of coconut
Amenta Cherry bark deep conditioner- moisturizing and easy to distribute
Fenugreek/hibiscus tea/aloe vera gel as a conditioning ayurvedic "cleanse" left in for hours out of sheer laziness


Continued Hits from the stash
Ramtirth brahmi oil- a cooling scalp massage on a 90 degree day

Surya Henna colorfix leave in - really moisturizing on my ng
Alba botanica leave in- This works nicely on wet hair, but I really want to continue to use as a moisturizer, cg friendly too
elucence mb- used up the last little bit in a dc would repurchase


Throwing away the bottles of aloe/elucence I finished

HITS

Carol's Daughter Hair Balm- I was surprised how well this product worked on my fine strands
and the smell is not bad like some of the other products.

Silicon Mix Proteina De Perla

Mizani Butter Blend Relaxer

MISS

None
 
Rediscovered hit: Seyani hair butter. I think I have the Sweet Rain scent. My hair is so buttery soft and shiny right, it looks and feels like it can't be real. :love:
 
I posted in wrong month

Heres what i kinda said

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.


Misses

Any thing Glycerin
