@ms.blue

I have this. I should list it on the exchange forum.

 

[ms.blue]

@IDareT'sHair, I believe @tiffers didn't like the conditioner either.

@IDareT'sHair, I believe @tiffers didn't like the conditioner either.

Yeah, no slip whatsoever and the moisture was just okay. Same results in my daughter's hair and she has a completely different hair type than mine. A definite NO to repurchasing.

@ms.blue @tiffers Hmph. I wish I could return it.

Where is @Anaisin at? She should buy mine. Since she STAN for HQS DC'ers.

 

[PJaye]

The Slip made my hair hard and tangled. The only HQS conditioner that's decent is the peppermint one, the rest suck monkey...ahem, the rest are extremely subpar.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@PJaye I still haven't tried my Peppermint. In fact I should list The Slip and the Pineapple Mango or whatever it's called. Lemme go look.

SMH. You've had 37 people waiting for 2 years for you to try that peppermint DC. For shame.

I'm too old to change. Besides, I can't wait until I can fuss at people and poke them with my cane.

@PJaye

Only You....

That made me bust out laughing

I will get to that one this Summer.

 

[Ayesha81]

Hit! Redken Frizz Dismiss conditioner.

 

[mschristine]

Miss: Kurlee Belle banana nut and avocado deep treatment - made my hair so dry..no slip, no moisture. I had to condition with AOGBP immediately afterwards so my hair would feel normal

 

[nothidden]

Hit: Soap Nut Shamoo - this is a DIY product and it's a keeper. It left my hair feeling product free but not stripped or "squeaky" clean. I will be using this during the week after the gym.
Miss: DevaCurl's Heaven In Hair - Sadly, I couldn't detect any improvement after using this product. I even sat under the steamer w/it. Afterwards I smothered my hair in Tresemme Naturals Radiant Volume under a plastic cap for a while, and my hair felt beautiful again. Not sure what it is w/DCs and masks that makes my hair feel so not conditioned.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Continued Hits:
Liquid Gold's Sulfur Oil
Jakeala's Nappy Hair Butter* (which is actually a cross between a crème & a lotion)

 

[oneastrocurlie]

Hit: SM Superfriut Shampoo

 

[Browndilocks]

HIT: Shea Moisture Manuka Oil mask. PERFECT consistency & very moisturizing. Will purchase in bulk next time.

 

[Napturallypretty1908]

Hits:
GVP Tea Tree Oil Shampoo - I enjoy the minty scent, it's easier to detangle with and my scalp feels clean without my hair feeling stripped.

New Tapered Cut - it's a refreshing change and I like rediscovering my hair again. It's weird seeing myself with such short hair, I stay in the mirror, lol.

Perm rods and Nairobi Wrap it shine foaming lotion- no idea why I didn't use themon my longer hair. But right now they are wonderful for styling my hair and making wash day simple


Miss:
Beautiful textures rapid repair- it left my hair dry and hard.

 

[SweetlyCurly]

Revisited hit: SM curling soufflé for a wash and go.
I had used this for twist and it was awesome. Didn't like it for a wash n go because it felt very sticky. After watching some videos I decided to give it another try. This time I only used a nickel size portion per section. Loving the results this time around. Might be my favorite summer gel since the results seem long lasting. I'm on 3rd day wash n go.

Edit: was trying to upload a pic but don't know how to do it with this new layout of the site.

[CodeRed]

I think I can list mustard oil as a hit. I've been using it for the better part of the month (maybe all month, I can't remember) and it's definitely increased my growth. I'll incorporate it in some way for every time I deep condition. I want to use steam with it every time to help it penetrate better.

 

[iamyattababe]

Hit:

Gvp tea tree conditioner as a pre poo. Hated it as a rinse out, but works for me this way

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Was on the Fence at one time - but became a HIT:
Mission:Condition Cranberry Cheapskate R/O Conditioner

*makes a great quickie cowash conditioner

 

[iamyattababe]

Hit:

Tangles & Beyond:
Rhassoul whip shampoo
The anecdote deep conditioner

Jakeala:
Flaxseed gel (love love love this!!)
Ayurvedic hair oil

Miss:

Being halfway through my Mielle Organics mint almond oil..ordering more ASAP!

How do you user this? As a growth aid, for scalp massaging or in your hair? Prepoo? Or all of the above?

 

[iamyattababe]

All of the above I just love this oil. My favorite ways to use it is hot oil treatment and as a sealant. @tiffers

[girlonfire]

Hit: Kinky Curly knot today. I have been putting off buying this for the longest time and I got paid today so I was like what the heck, went to target, picked it up today and washed tonight. Diffused and wow! MY hair is so soft. My hair isn't quite perfect because I'm still not really use to finger detangling just yet. Still working on it. But for sure kckt is a hit. I think I like it more than deva curl one condition.

 

[meka72]

I ordered the slip too in the HQS order that I actually received. Stupid me thought a conditioner called "the Slip" actually had slip. Lol. Do you think it would work as a prepoo? I'm still iffy on keeping the HQS items though.

@ms.blue @tiffers Hmph. I wish I could return it.

Where is @Anaisin at? She should buy mine. Since she STAN for HQS DC'ers.
