[IDareT'sHair]

Hey Ladies!

Also Formulation Changes. I couldn't include it in the Title or it would have been too long.

Please Share.

Thanks Divas!

I am thoroughly miffed that PBN decided to discontinue the Mango & Tea Scalp Butter.

I was able to pick up what she had left during BF, but I will sorely miss it if she decides not to bring it back.

Here are some additional products I miss:
Komaza's Scalp Butter (keeps being available/unavailable and the formulation has changed several times)

It's Perfect Natural Tea Tree Scalp Butter (although she was terrible to deal with and had extremely poor CS)

Fleutrzy's Deep Conditioning Treatment Balm (one of the best of the best)

Here are some Lines I miss:
Jasmine Bath & Beauty
Enso Naturals
Mission:Condition

For me it's mainly formula changes:
CON Argan Oil Shampoo
S-Curl
Taliah Waajid Protective Bodifier Mist
African Pride Braid Spray

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Mega-Tek (Original)

 

[Crackers Phinn]

I'm guessing Hairveda's Hydra Silica Tea Mist has been discontinued since she hasn't restocked since last year. It was a holy grail product but I guess I'll find an alternative.

I'm disappointed they completely revamped Roux Porosity Control. The new version stinks and isn't the same viscosity.

I also completely miss those vitamins - Nioxin vitamins

@Crackers Phinn

Imma convo them and ask them. I have x1 bottle left in my Stash.

HV's Silica replaced: Qhemet Biologics Karaday Tea (which you just reminded me of which was discontinued by QB)

Lemme go asked BJ'nem what's up?

Shea Moisture Purification mask. I know that I can find it on SM's website but I don't appreciate it being taken from the stores.
The original CON shampoo. The best shampoo I have ever used.
Wella porosity equalizer. It was AMAZING. I used it after relaxing and coloring my hair and it left my hair soft and manageable.

 

[Beany]

Formula changes: tressemme naturals. Yes to carrots pampering conditioner (holding on to my last two bottles)

Vendors: mission condition

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

ReVé Essentials (closed down) and Blended Cuties Tug Me Not conditioner (the original) . See this is why I have commitment issues lol

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

Its Perfectly Natural Lemon Grass Conditioning Cream......BEST MOISTURIZER EVER! She was a mess though

 

[krissyhair]

I bought biolage hydrasource daily leave in cream 1 time, went back to purchase it and found it was discontinued.

 

[meka72]

I'm fearful that I'll end up in here because QB will change the formulas for AOHC and BRBC now that they are sold in Sephora. I'm steadily stockpiling them just in case.

 

[B_Phlyy]

Herbal Essence's Long Term Relationship Leave-In
L'Oreal Unfrizz Smoothing Treatment
Pantene Relaxed and Natural Breakage Defense Mask (I had a stockpile that lasted me almost 2 years)

 

[LovingLady]

Formula Change: Aubrey Organics White Camellia Conditioner
This conditioner use to have a thick consistency, now it is watery and not as potent.

Discontinued: Giovanni Smooth as Silk (Pure Technology)

Herbal Essence's Long Term Relationship Leave-In
Pantene Relaxed and Natural Breakage Defense Mask )

Woo these two products took me back to 2008 and the beginning of my hair journey. They were the truth! But I will say pretty much every Pantene DC is the same. I'm using their CCCream right now and it's amazing.

They used to have this product called La Bella Lightening Gel and it was a level 10 holding gel that also bleached your hair overtime. It was excellent. Even though it turned my hair orange, it allowed me to safely lighten without major processing.

 

[ag00]

Pantene Relaxed and Natural Breakage Defense Mask (I had a stockpile that lasted me almost 2 years)

I looked up this product and was wowed by all the great reviews. Wonder why they would discontinue such a highly rated product.

 

[YaniraNaturally]

Formulation changes:

Trader Joes Nourish Spa conditioner. Went from no oil and a few ingredients to argan oil and a lot more ingredients. I genuinely wanted to cry since this was with me in college and only cost $3!!!!

Tresemme Naturals with Aloe. I figured it was coming. It was too good for them not to cheapen it.

 

[InBloom]

Formulation changes...

Aubrey's Honeysuckle Rose conditioner.

Nexxus Humectress. They've added the caviar protein complex stuff.....not the same as the original.

 

[MileHighDiva]

New Era: The entire line is no longer available. I've been able to recover from this by using certain Joico products.

Soft Sheen: Miss Cool Setting Lotion

Silk Dreams: Creme de la Silk and Nourish Oil (on hold due to jojoba prices) I have not recovered from CDLS being discontinued.

If anyone has any that they're not using I'll buy it from you.

I'm hoarding what I have left for special occasions. My hair thrives with CDLS! I may have to break down and buy some hydrolyzed silk and whip into something else to try to recreate it (not sure if this would work). I keep buying other stuff trying to replace it and nothing compares

Nexxus: It looks like they've reformulated Emergencee again. I have not looked at the new ingredients yet, but if it doesn't have hydrolyzed elastin anymore, I'll absolutely lose it.

Keracare: Super Reconstructor used to be a dupe for Emergencee. @ronie informed me that it no longer has hydrolyzed elastin in it.

I highly recommend that you have items you love in each category from at least 2-3 lines. This will help you avoid a CATASTROPHE when something is reformulated and/or discontinued,
