CONTINUED HIT APB Ayurvedic Oil - this oil and my new growth walk together in softness and :2inlove: :love3: :love5: Kurlee Belle Banana Nut and Avocado Treatment (for the consistency only) - love it! It's a bit runny, almost similar to that of a moisturizing shampoo or hand soap. Even with my heavy handedness I only used just under a 1/4th of the jar, maybe not even that much. Won't speak to performance yet, only one use under my belt.

I bought the Kurlee Belle Nut and Avocado Treatment during the Mother's Day sale. I got 2, I'm planning on using it tomorrow. I'm hoping my hair likes it. Did you find it moisturizing?

flyygirlll2 it's holding up nicely for me. My crown is my driest area and I'm just now starting to feel some dryness at 6 days after wash day. Everywhere else on my head is still ok (not super juicy but not dry). It's doing a decent job but I'll reserve definitive yays or nays until I use it more.
 
HIT: Being heavy-handed with my post wash day moisturizing regimen. Right now, I'm using ST kink drink, CR almond jai, APB leave in and EC leave in. I've been sealing with a little of the EC butter and APB hair and scalp treat. After doing this on wash day and baggying on day 2, my hair stays moisturized for 3 days.

ETA: ACV rinses. Yesterday, I shampooed my hair before I hennaed. My hair was mostly dry within 10-14 minutes. When I use ACV, it takes nearly an hour for my hair to dry.

ACV rinses are tricky. ACV is a cuticle closer so it may be harder for products to penetrate to dry verses leaving them open before you apply product with a higher ph balanced liquid (like water). It also depends on when you use the rinse and the ratio of ACV to water.

I haven't tried an ACV rinse since my big chop over three years ago.
 
Hit: Shea Moisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi Weekly Treatment (light green label). Reduced breakage, made curls pop nicely.
 
Hit: Eden Bodyworks Curl Creme. I finally used the right technique. I used the LOC method and applied the creme last. My wng was soft and defined. I will try it for a twistout next.

It took me a minute to figure out the right ratio. I fill a Dasani water bill with distilled water (yeah I'm bootlegged) and add 1 tbsp of acv. I rinse my moisturizing conditioner out with the mix. My hair has done so much better since getting this right.

Hits

SM Purification Mask- Ya'll were not lying, this is bomb.com! I pre-pood with it today and my hair felt soft without any tangles.
Milcreek Keratin conditioner- Just the right amount of protein that gave my hair the boost that it needed.
AO Honey Suckle Rose- I've used this twice so far and I like it, the only thing I hate is that the consistency is so thick it can be annoying to get out the bottle.
Roller Setting- I started roller setting my hair again and I'm loving it, despite having to work more on my technique.

Continued Hits

APB leave ins and Keratase Oleo Relax serum. When I use this combination for my roller sets I'm in moisturized & smooth city.
 
Hits: Joico Chleating Shampoo, Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm, Herbal Essences LTR, Proclaim Natural 7 Oil,
 
Continued hits:

Frequent co-washing (beyond lovely)
Finger detangling (surprisingly)
Wash-n-go's (praise God)
LOG method (found my staples)

Serious HIT

Sarenzo Chocolate Butter

I truly wish they still sold this. I need more of this butter ASAP. If anyone has some they are willing to sell, please PM me.
 
Beamodel IDareT'sHair

I loooove Sarenzo's bath and body things but I hate that they discontinue some of their items and scents.

Not trying to be a pusher, but I would hoard things from them :lol:. I ordered like 8 buttercreams one time in my favorite scents and wouldn't you know they don't sell them anymore. I am on my last one. :cry:
 
Last sale I got my order in 7 business days from Sarenzo Beads. I want to order this sale but it says 14 business days. I'm not about waiting 14 business days for any seller/vendor , so Im sitting it out.

I was riding with her in the past because that Burdock Root Cream was all of that for me. Then stuff started getting discontinued and she would close.

Im happy with my last purchase and the sale time but Im keeping a close eye out for past customer service issues I've and others have had.

14 business days, gee whiz! Yeah, not the business.

I forgot to add the last I ordered from her, my things came in a decent time frame but that was almost two years ago.
 
Well my last order about a year ago was all kinda ways fugged up. I'm gonna wait a little while to get that chocolate butter. I have some and it last a long time but I'm not about to order during a sale and wait even longer.

The chocolate butter isn't even on sale.
 
I think it was nearing the 45 day mark when I filed my PayPal Dispute.

I received my order shortly after filing it.

I think in between the time I placed my order, she closed (for some reason) for a period of time and my order was some where sitting in the "Que".:perplexed

I could not reach them via email and that's when I filed the dispute before the time ran out.

Shortly after filing, my items shipped.:blush:...:look:

The day that they arrived, they went skrait on the Exchange Forum.

So, I didn't even get to try them to determine whether I liked them or not.

Because after all that, I had 'Tude.:perplexed

And no longer wanted them.:rolleyes:

Don't you love it when you get a shipping notification AFTER you file the dispute? :lol:

This is why I refuse to try new sellers. I'm too traumatized from personal experience and others experiences.
