[An_gell]

Whadid ya get? I wanna know

They gave me a samples of Henna Sooq Cocoveda Shampoo bar, Henna Sooq Sweet Honey Shampoo bar, John Masters organics Lavendar & avocado intensive conditioner, John Masters honey & hibiscus hair reconstructor, and John Masters Citrus & neroli detangler. I have always wanted to try the John Masters products just didn't want to buy them cuz they are pricey to me. Only thing I have brought by him is the deep follicle stimulator and volumizing spray and I really liked it.

HIT

I gave the VS So Sexy Nourish condish to myself as a treat. I love love love it, the smell and slip!


MISS

I got some Blue Magic's olive oil breakage leave-in formula (green). I don't like it. It doesnt do much for my ends at all and it makes my hair feel funny. I will stick with the Blue Magic coconut oil grease (which I love), but I still want to try a new oil moisturizer, maybe I will try the cantu next.

Continued Hit:

[Nix08]

Hit: Giovanni tea tree triple treat which I use to like but then moved on to other products....I use to think it was too drying but didn't feel that way at all using it today Thanks IDareT'sHair - it was a convo with you that made me dig it out of the guest bathroom

 

[IDareT'sHair]

It feels good to re-visit things and then re-discover you like it again!

 

[Aggie]

HITS:
All my Keracare products I bought that I have used so far. I have used KC Oil Moisturizer with Jojoba Oil, KC Leave-In, KC Defining Custard, KC Edge Tamer, KC Restorative hair Mask, 1st Lather Poo, Hydrating Detangling Poo and Humecto.

ON THE FENCE:
Affirm MoisturColor Conditioner. It's a little sticky and I think I may need to give it another chance before I can decide definitively how I feel about it.

 

[Aggie]

Oooh another Hit would be my Affirm Sustenance Treatment.

 

[Poranges]

HIT!!!

Darcy's Botanicals Cocoa Bean Smoothing Cream
OMG! This! I just used it today. Used it as a leave in AND moisturizer, worked GREAT both ways. WOW. When is she going to sell this full size?! Ugh.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Poranges

This is like the Zillion-ith Positive Review on this product. (And now from a Relaxed Head).

I love the Transitioning Hair Creme and Folks are saying this one is better.

That speaks Volumes.

I hope she does sell the Full-Size so I can try it out.

I didn't order anything directly from her BF.

I ordered my DB from other Vendors, so I missed out getting a Sample.

It is AWESOME. Best moisturizer thus far for my relaxed hair, I think I'm going to stop looking. I reached for it instead of my SD Almond Buttercream and I am SO glad I did. She still includes it with every order even up to now though. I'm going to e-mail her.

Hit:
Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic

Continued Hit:
Claudie's Isha Cream

beautyaddict1913 Hi,is the curly magic very moisturizing? I've been looking at this for some time...


Happy Hair Growing!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Poranges

I'm sure she has been getting "Requests" to make this into a Full-Sized Product.

I have the DB Shea Butter Lotion too, but haven't tried it.

I hope she brings the Cocoa Bean on-line.

It has to be good if you put down the SD's

Happy Hair Growing!

Hi Lita! It's a gel so it defines my curls and provides a soft hold. It's not crunchy or drying and it doesn't flake or build up in my hair. I use it for wash and go and I love it!

I really like that Vitale Body & Bounce too.

I can't remember what it smells like now? I had it and really enjoyed it, but never replaced it.

I would definitely repurchase it. *adds to list*

IDareT'sHair

it smells similar to ultrasheen satin creme press with a vinegar afternote(you dont smell it initially) it fades eventually and seems to cover the smell that my scalp oils produce so i deal with it. i also may have a very old batch because the jar also has the old packaging.

i really love this stuff. my hair has beautiful bounce and body all the way until wash day unlike when i was "moisturizing" my hair with other cone and oil filled products.

 

[lolascurls]

This month, loving Tresemme Naturals Conditioners (for co-washing, detangling and as a leave-in) and Nutiva Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. I'm also feeling Rapeseed (Canola) oil for sealing (very moisturizing).
Before, I had only tried Coconut oil but a low grade. This EVCO smells so luscious and feels so good!

Misses:
Shea Moisture Moisture Retention Shampoo: just not liking shampoo so I'm letting it be!
Suave Naturals Ocean Breeze Conditioner... nada for me!

 

[Ann0804]

January Miss:

b.a.s.k cacao bark deep conditioning hair treat- I wanted to love this like everyone else, but it just does not work well for my needs.

My review of the product:

I had to use a lot of this product (2 oz. and I have short hair) to cover all of my hair, it does not detangle well like how Curl Junkie and Miss Jessie's Deep Conditioning products do. I left this DC in my hair for a little over an hour and the results were okay. The results did not equate to the price tag of this stuff. Would I buy it again-no ( I had to use too much of it and I like CJ and MJ's better). Also, it did not smell like chocolate at all.

 

[choctaw]

Hit

Dampen hair with distilled water.
Section hair with cake cutter and oil scalp (use oil, pomade or butter).
Smooth oil from roots to ends.
Cover hair with plastic cap.

** Can also be used to prepare hair and scalp for ayurvedic pastes.**

 

[winona]

WOW my first miss in a very long time. From my journal
ASIAN Coconut CoWash: 2nd use first impression was correct drying and slip exisited only with copious amounts of product. Next time I use I will dilute as with any other poo Will not repurchase

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Revisited Hit:

Dudley's Hair Rebuilder


Ann0804

I'd like to hear more of your b.a.s.k. Cacao Review.

 

[PJaye]

Misses:
- Pura Body Naturals Chocolate Hair Smoothie (This product is way too light to be effective – it is not thick, it is not moisturizing, it provides no slip or softness, and does not smell like chocolate. What’s the point?)
- Mozeke Moisturizing Hair Masque (When I first tried this product during last year’s Black Friday sale, it proved to be marvelously moisturizing. Now, it does absolutely nothing...and has a questionable aroma. I threw all six jars in the trash.)


Tentative Hit:
- HOTs (Despite being a messy extra step in my routine, it seems as if it has taken my DC’ing up a notch.)


Continued Hits:
- Diluted Elasta QP Crème Conditioning Shampoo (The best shampoo and detangler I’ve ever encountered.)
- Darcy’s Botanicals Daily Leave-in (A thick, creamy product that provides softness and lasting moisture. What more could I want?)
- ORS Replenishing Conditioner (moisture + a light protein kick + slip = me ecstatically running through a field of daisies in slow motion)

 

[Aggie]

Big Miss:

Suave Pomegranite Conditioner. It had virtually no slip and it made my hair feel a little hard. This is not what I look for in a detangling/cowash conditioner.

@southerncitygirl

You Right! I am.

Thanks for keeping me in check. It's day 24....and I'm having severe & quite serious withdrawls.

Yeah, I'm in it to win it until June. *pray for me girl*

 

[Ann0804]

@ IDareT's Hair re: b.a.s.k.- cacao bark hair treat.

I found that the product isn't a dc on my hair. I will keep trying it out to see if with continued use I get better results. I may even add a product to it for more moisture.
