Aveyou has the best prices and fastest shipping. They currently have a 20% off coupon code "allchic." I'm not sure when it expires, but I've used it like 3 times now lol.

The best leave-in for me is the Smoothing Lotion! It's HG status! I've also used the Daily Smoothing Conditioner as a leave-in and that's great too.

Here's the thing that's bothering me about this 'best' thing...
What might be the best for me might not be the best for you. There are things from that line that I rave about but others hate.
But with that being said HELL YES curl junkie is WAY better than miss jessies, bar none.
Curl rehab is my hair crack, along with the honey butta leave in and hibiscus and banana deep fix.
Repair me if I need a protein treatment.
Stylers include the aloe fix and pattern pusha, depending on the climate.
I also love the smoothing lotion for use with ecostyler and curls in a bottle with ecostyler.

Curl Rehab most definetely!
That stuff just melted in my hair and moisturized it. When my jar is close to finish i'm going to invest in the big bottle. I bought the Banana Deep Fix and used it once and wasn't really impressed. Maybe I needed to clarify beforehand? Idk, I hardly use products in my hair so I have minimal product buildup. I gave the Deep Fix to my mom since she needed a moisturizing treatment. I have the Rehab in the coconut scent and I love it.
I also really like the Repair Me, it's a good moisturizing protein conditioner.
I also bought their poo which I like as well, I've only used it a few times so I can't speak on it too much yet but I like that it's non stripping, smells good, and it lathers just enough.
The Smoothing Lotion is a fanatastic leave in conditioner. It's very detangling, smells good, and lightly moisturizes.
I'm relaxed and I love the products I have from them. I like that AveYou ships right away so I don't mind ordering these products. This is actually a line that is practical that I can stick to. So my staples from them are:
. Rarely have a I found a line where I like several of the products, products work well together, and it's easy to get. I think this is a fantastic line and if I were natural I'd def try a lot more the products. I love how they have so many selections to for curly/natural hair. I hope this line never stops making products.

I just gotta come back in here and say how much I really like this line. I have staple hair products but they were all from different lines. For ex, Kenra moisturizing conditioner (but I didn't like their poos like that), KBB (loved the deep conditioner and leave in, but it's kinda pricey and a pain to get), Giovanni products (loved the leave in and the conditioners are pretty good, but not their poos). I'd usually have to kinda mix and match and try different things, but this is a pretty solid line.

Hi Maria,
Truthfully, if I were a richer woman and could afford luxury hair products for daily use, this would be my go to line. I love Curl Junkie. I have yet to find a line that works as seamlessly. I use silk dreams because it is cheaper, and my hair prospers with it.
My favorite cleanser is daily fix, but I use SD whip my hair, and go moist, because it is almost as good at one third the price.
My favorite leave in honey butta, it is works like a charm for providing hold and defining my twist. But I use a combination of SD aaliyah butter over silky satin because of the cost most of the time. I still intend to buy honey butta.
Curl rehab would be holy grail if I could afford it. It is the best moisturizing DC, it is the best detangle r, and it is the best leave in for my hair. I use SD silky satin, vanilla silk or destination hydration, and they work very well for the price point. SD wheat was my favorite, but my beach air spoiled it, so I had to let go.
Deep fix is ok, I prefer SD's chocolate, wheat germ, vanilla silk, or shea what to deep fix as a all in one light protein conditioner.
I love curls in a bottle too, it pops my curls. I use my homade flax seed gel, again because of cost.
Embyra I hate that smoothing lotion too. It was ok, but at the price, I expected miracles. I prefer SD, Claudies, QB, or my home mades to this stuff. 4 b/c look away, because the nappy ain't happy. Oh last point, smoothing lotion was my favorite CJ leave in in a bottle. In my opinion, CJ does not make a good leave in lotion for 4 b/c hair. They weren't moisturizing enough, they didn't have enough slip, and they cost too much for me to have to doctor them up. The argon one just sat on my hair, and seemed more like glue than moisturizer. Smoothing lotion was alright, but not at the price. Before I tried other products I thought these were great, but I have since tried so much better at lower prices.
Lastly, I hated repair me too. It made my hair hard, but still wasn't enough protein. So I would have to use back to back protein treatments, and follow with a moisture DC. It was too much work trying to get enough protein to stop my fine hair from breaking with this one, and avoiding having crunchy hard hair. SD does not make a hard protein, so I can't compare it to that. Protein seems to be the most important part of my reggie and most companies make one I can use.
Curl junkie is my favorite line. They have everything. It is hard picking out what works for your hair out of all of their products, but it is very rewarding. I started my healthy hair journey with this line, and when the economy improves I will probably go back to it. It is reliable, a little goes a long way so my products last a long time, and I like the fruit smells. Good luck.
ETA: 4 a and 3 c and relaxed heads hate honey butta, they say it is too heavy and takes too long to dry, just in case some one wants to use my reveiw to purchase. I really think this product is for those of us that identify with b and above.
