June 2013 Hits or Misses

Continued Hit:

Amazing Botanicals Aloe Mint Spritz - I love love loooooove it. Really smooths the cuticles down GREAT and softens. Doesn't leave crunch even though it has aloe juice!

 

[myronnie]

Miss:
Soultanicals Knot Sauce as a leave-in
I tried this last week and my hair was so crunchy and dry when it dried. I did not like it at all. I tried it as a rinse out and it was just eh..it was like I didn't even put anything on my hair. It also makes me a bit queasy when I smell it on my hair..in the bottle it smells great but when I apply it..bleh.

 

[ronie]

Hit: Silk Dream destination hydration. Great as a cowash turned DC. This thing gave me cone like slip, and my hair was so moisturized after. It took forever to airdry, and when it finally did, my hair was still soft.

 

[leiah]

Miss: the weather in Florida. I get the same frizzy mess no matter what I do

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Potential Hit:
NG Herbal Cleansing Cream: The force is super strong with this one . Made my hair slip like butter and my hair was clean and no where near stripped with it. WHY! OH WHY! DID SHE DISCONTINUE IT?!

NG Orange and Hibiscus DC: Applies well, coated my shaft nicely and left my hair super soft. Loving it thus far

Hit:

IPN Horsetail and Hibiscus Rentention Spritz: *SIGH* Denise was a liar, a cheat and a HORRIBLE business woman........but this stuff here is the TRUTH! My hair is instantly soft when I apply and my hair is air drying really nicely. Sad thing is I'm going to have to ration it out because once it gone....its gone.

Claudie's Hair Tea Spritz: Two words....INSTANT FREAKIN' STAPLE....ok 3 words . My hair is loving this under my DC's thus far. I hated tea rinsing before, but with this product I can see why people love it so much.

Miss:

NUFFIN!

 

[myronnie]

Miss:
Claudie's Hair Frappe
I still realllly like the one that I received that was different but the new one makes my hair greasy. I really wanted to like it but I found a new love with Darcy's pumpkinseed. I really want to try the cocoa bean moisturizer!

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Potential Hit:

Soultanicals Hair Sorrell Knappylicious Kink Drink.....YES MA'AM! Softness on impact and layered well with my leave in/moisturizer/oil combination. It smells like a little slice of island heaven and it applies very easily (loving the spray bottle, I will be reusing it in the future).

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Miss: USPS

I'm about really tired of my local post office. My package wasnt delivered on Monday yet it states a notice left. I waited until Tuesday to see if maybe they would redeliver. Took myself up to the post office a little while ago and " its being redelivered"

So let's see if I get it today.

[leiah]

[blackeyes31626]

New Hit:

Chagrin Valley Organic Herbal Hair Tea Rinse Detangler Blend

If you're like me and have been wanting to try hair teas but are too lazy to DIY, the CV teas are perfect. The Detangler blend has marshmallow root, hibiscus, flax seed, and more herbs that are great for dry hair. My curls define like no other after using this tea as a final rinse after washing/conditioning! I just placed an order for more. FYI - you can actually get about 2 or 3 treatments from the "1 Rinse Trial Size."

Continued Hit:

Crece Pelo DC - it really is as amazing as everyone says
Shea Moisture Cowash Conditioning Cleanser - on my second bottle

Tentative Hits:

Long Aid Curl Activator Gel
Eco Styler Gel with Argan Oil

My hair is typically glycerin and protein sensitive, and each gel is chock-full of one of those ingredients. I've had really nice, defined, and SOFT curls using the combo (although it pulls out my curl when raking through to the point where it makes my hair look quasi-straight like someone with heat damage) about three times now, so I'm going to keep monitoring my hair to make sure it contiues to respond positively.

This has been happening to me lately...

Its becoming the worst service since they are closing so many offices. I go out later in the evening and come home to my package sitting on my steps. Anyone could have taken it off the front porch. Is that what the postal service is coming to?

[leiah]

Miss:
African pride olive miracle growth oil
it has nice ingredients but it has the same thin runny consistency of every bss oil that is 99% soybean oil. I need to stick to real oils

 

[shtow]

Hit: Theraneem poo and con. Seborrheic dermatitis calmed in ONE wash/con. So glad I found this because the condition was starting to damage my scalp, esp my edges.

Hit: Applying nothing but heat protector before flat ironing. Really cuts down on frizz/reversion and surprisingly my hair holds moisture very well from this. My hair just loves that IC serum.

Miss: Sleeping with a scarf. Was causing a lot of breakage in the back. Had to cut and now sleeping on a silk pillowcase. Kind of pissed it took me forever to figure this out.

Hit:

Hairveda Whipped Cream Ends Hydration. This leaves my hair so silky soft. I don't usually like thin leave ins, but this one surprised me.

Hits- Carols daughter black vanilla leave in

Macadamia natural oil spray

[tapioca_pudding]

HIT: Schwarzkopf Bonacure Repair Rescue Sealed Ends - I heard about this product from TheHappyHairShow on youtube (love her hair!). My ends have been feeling dry lately so I ordered this product and have been applying it to my ends nightly and sealing with rosehip seed oil. My ends are HEALED lol! I don't think you can seal split ends by any means, but my ends definitely feel much smoother and hydrated. This product may reach HG status if I continue to get consistent results!

 

[veesweets]

Continued hit:
Hairitage Hydration Jar of Joe - sealing with it always leaves my hair really smooth and soft. Used it up last night, I want another but I don't like the idea of ordering butters when its so hot out. If I end up with a half melted mess ill be upset

Sage has a few Sales here & there. Mostly BF & Cyber Monday tho'

Curlmart has gotten faster. Prolly lost business being so slow.

I'm still mystified about DB Pumpkin being a "MISS" For You! SMH...

IDareT'sHair

"Mystified" . Trust me as just as shocked as you. DB's has NEVER let's me down before and I literally mean never. Every product I've tried except the PS Condish has been a raging hit.
