From J. Monique I ordered:

x1 Hibiscus and Broccoli DC'er
x1 Irish Moss & Cocoa DC'er

Now u know better...I'm on a no buy until a too good to pass up BF sale.lol That hibiscus conditioner looks really good! The color of it gave me life plus I'm a sucker for conditioners with hibiscus in them.

Kizuri's Olive and Shea Hair Crème *discontinued*
 
Hit: finally getting an ulta. They built up the Bay Plaza shopping mall (that's for my fellow downstate people) and it's only 30 minutes away from me by public transportation. I told my friend and we both jumped up and down like a couple of Becky's. I'm just waiting for it to be open now.


Ain't this the truth! Between the Bay Plaza Mall and the new Target in Throgs Neck I won't ever have to leave the Bronx to shop. Now all we need is a Trader Joes and I'll be set!
 
Hits
Shea moisture manuka line... the shampoo and masque (need to get the oil and conditioner)
Shea moisture 10 in 1 super fruit complex.... the whole line
Shea moisture jbco ... shampoo... masque... oil... and I'm learning to love the leave in...

Sent from Tink's Galaxy using LHCF
 
On the fence: Tangles and Beyond Deep Moisture Treatment

My hair felt ok. I used it as a detangler, DC, and a leave in. My hair was relatively soft. I sealed with Tangles and Beyond butter. I don't think I would repurchase because the fragrance is kind of nauseating. But because I don't feel like doing my hair over again, I will endure it.

Huge hit: Using up the entire 8 ounce bottle in one wash day :lol:

Thanks for the Review. :grin:

I think I have the Leave-In and something else? Maybe the Detangler?
 
New Hits:

APB Hair Creme and APB Leave-In. These both made it to HG instantly.

Continued Hits:

Komaza Califa Spray
Marley Twists

Miss:

Tutti Frutti scent from APB. This scent made me realize how much I hate the smell (but love the taste) of pineapples.

Curiousity got the best of me, so I had to go look. :look:

I have the Detangler and the Deep Moisture Conditioner.:perplexed

I have the detangler too. Now I really like the smell of the detangler. Gotta use it. I probably will next week to use it up.

I probably won't purchase anything else from her since she's having these stupid once every 3 week drop sales with no minimum purchase quantity. Ion have time to be sitting by a computer when the clock strikes to purchase hair products. I WORK. I TEACH. Can't be strapped in front of a PC.

Yeah I'm on her email list and she has decided to do these drop sales that feature certain products. Earlier this month it was the 16 ounce conditioners and those sold out in an hour.

This Wednesday it's her new whipped shampoo and buttercream that will be featured in the drop sale. It starts at 1 pm CST.

At least you were shipped a stable product. I received a container of oil that is chock full of some mysterious stuff floating around in it. Plus, she keeps playing around with sending me a replacement (e.g., I got your email, no I didn't, yes I did, no I didn't, yes I did...). While I love trying new products and patronizing Black businesses, I'm not in the mood for this kind of BS. Besides, the DC and scrub smells like 1976 Grandmaw Avon perfume. I put them in my "To Donate" box.

@PJaye

Pfft. :rolleyes: Girl...I don't know if it's stable or not:lol:

I know I ordered x2 of the Cheapskate Berry Conditioners and a Roobis Tea Spritz.

I got x1 Leave-In of some sort and the Roobis Spritz.:rolleyes:

Um...yeah in cases like that, I don't even want a replacement.

Just Refund me my Money:ohwell:
 
Revisited hits

Curl Junkie Argan and Olive Daily Conditioner

Bask Palm Tapioca Deluxe Hair Cream

Bask Java Bean Styling Pomade

Surprise Hit

Jojoba oil: My hair has decided it loves this stuff now. Who knew? Well, I know I am heading to Whole Foods to get a bigger size.

Miss:

Needing to throw away my APB leave in spray and Oyin Hair Dew because the fragrances make my Mother in Law's allergies act up. She likes to spend time with me and I don't want her to feel limited in how much time she can spend with me because of what is in my hair. It's okay though, I have other Holy Grails :grin:.

I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt as well as an opportunity to rectify the situation. At this point, all I want is a refund; but it appears as if her dial has been set back to "I ain't get your email" since all I've heard is silence after I changed my request from an exchange to a refund.

IDareT'sHair

It acts like a serum in my hair. It retains moisture so well and helps a lot with repelling humidity. How large is your size bottle. I am thinking of getting at least a 16 oz. This stuff makes my hair feel so soft even when I use it alone.

Miss: tried Nairobi foam twice already. Once for roller setting and once to blow out. I thought I was a miss with rollersetting because I had just used a protein treatment, but I used it again to blow dry and my hair feels dry. No breakage but just feels dry. I'll retry again, but no time soon. Not happy with its performance

That's interesting. I've never found it drying. I've only put it on my edges and the top of my head after flat ironing, slept with a scarf on top at night (I cross wrap). I do this because it seems no matter what I always get that wig look after flat ironing. If you don't want to waste your money, maybe you could try using it just for that purpose.

Um..Yeah..:rolleyes: My current bottle is 4oz and I'm killin' it.:nono:

Jojoba they say is the closest to our own natural Sebum.

Good Stuff!:lick:
 
Hits:
Shea Moisture Manuka Honey Masque:
Easy to finger detangle with. Hair was nice and soft after rinsing. Curls were nicely defined. No weird residue. Hair is still soft today.

Beamodel

Between this and the Superfruit masque I maybe be good on moisturizing DCs. Which is great because both of these are on the ground.

Shea Moisture JBCO leave in:
Not sure if I said this already was a hit. But this stuff makes my hair soft and gives great definition, which I wasn't expecting since it's so thin.
