Yeah, it's lightweight and works wonderfully. I'll have to try it sometimes as a detangler.

Have you tried the Asian Tea Ectasy?

yup! and i think that was worse than the coconut sublime

Lawd...I have that too.

It's suppose to be Heat-Activated. Not sure when I'll get around to that one.

But I like the Sublime. (so far).

If I ever get into a detangling dilemma, I'll try it that way too.

*thanks for the tip*

Miss
Aubrey Organics Island Naturals - Nobody ever talks about it, and there's a reason why... It smells like Noxema, and the moisture is Not Hot. I bought it to use in my sray bottle (don't want to use up all my AO WC), but now I dunno...probably not.

 

[Ogoma]

Hit:
QB Moringa Tree Conditioning Ghee as a leave-in: shine, softness, great detangler

Neutral:
QB Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee as a leave-in: Nice soft hair, didn't work as well for detangling, hate the smell.

I have one more to test than I start a side-by-side comparison. I need to narrow this list down to 1 or 2.

 

[KinkyGenius]

HUGE HIT
Shea Radiance Nourishing Hair Repair Cream; I thought the Oyin Hair Dew was my new Holy Grail moisturizer but I think this might be replacing it. Plus I can get it on the ground soon because this brand will be in Target starting 8/16.

I used to love this conditioner! It gave me so much slip.

- Aphogee 2 step (I need to use this at least once per month, I got lazy about it and had little pieces in my hands) I think my moisture game it TOO good now!
- Roux PC Conditioner as a co-wash or before I DC only: As an experiment I tried it again after the DC and yep, it's still a bad idea. Tangle city!
- Proclaim Argan Oil Hydrating Mask: not much slip but crazy moisture.
- got2b Crazysleek Flat Iron & Blow Dry Lotion: I don't use heat so I use it as a leave in. It's creamy, moisturizes, melts tangles and smells like Dreamsicle. I can't stand the bottle it comes in though. Anyway, I tried to go without it for a while because I was so attached, I wanted to find an alternative just in case. But no, I'll never stop using it as long as I can get it!
- Sealing with Olive Oil: Can't skip that step either
- ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo

New Hit
Main and Tail Detangler Leave in: Holy Crap this stuff is great!! It doesn't detangle as well after a co-wash as it does after a shampoo and DC, but either way it moisturizes very well.

Miss
- Roux moisturizing shampoo- I've used this in the past and liked it, but this bottle makes my hair feel dirty and dry. Even after clarifying.

 

[IronButterfly]

HITS - Using KBB Complete Hair Conditioner as a li. Excellent moisture beyond anything I've ever used.




MISS - SSI Jojoba Hair Milk. Too light.
Silk Dreams Chocolate Bliss Conditioner. Not terribly moisturizing. Glad it was free!

Hit: Tea Rinses, Grapeseed Oil, and Redken All Soft

[Kindheart]

Hits: Beautiful Textures The whole line is great for my hair ,the whipped moisturizer is excellent for moisture and definition.
d
Carol's daughter vanilla shampoo makes my hair soft and smells great!

In betweener : Lisa Rachel cleansing conditioner ,it cleans very well ,leaves a nice tingle on the scalp but after rinsing it out my hair is a tangle mess .Final result is shiny smooth hair on thw dry side. I detangled with BT leave in.

Bumble bumble Coco conditiiner : oh my...i used this to cowash and it nearly stripped my hair of any moisture ,it left it dry squeaky clean and tangled . Smells good thats it .

U have probably not seen the crisco thread. Ive gotten pretty good results with it on my daughters hair. Not wow'd but its pretty good. Still trying to find a nice mix while using this as a base.

 

[jprayze]

MJs curly pudding was a hit but for twistouts but I'm thinking I don't have to spend this much for a product for twistouts!
