October 2016: Hits & Misses

[Aggie]

The Obia line never really appealed to me.
Plus when I looked up what an "Obia" was, I was done with that line.

What's an Obia @NaturallyATLPCH?

 

[rileypak]

I'm already calling this a miss even though the conditioner is still on my hair.
-Obia babassu deep conditioner. This stuff felt like chalky (like putting thick Milk of Magnesia) on my hair. I laughed when I read I was supposed to comb the product on my hair...this stuff has no slip. Lawd geez, the smells like plaster to me....yuck.

This^^^^^^
You've summed up my sentiments about that DC exactly

So.....This will be going in the Trash tonight.

Miss: Getting too lazy to rinse this henna out.
I must muster up the energy. I want my hair to be drying overnight instead of all day tomorrow.

Is this line black owned or oyinbo owned?

I'm a nerd and just research stuff. I'm like, of all the names to name a product line, you use that one???

Here ya go:

An obia or obeah is a monster in West African folklore. It is described as being a massive animal that witches send into villages to kidnap young girls and wear their skin for a coat.

It is also the common term in the Bay Islands of Honduras for a witch, or the spell that is cast by the witch. This is most likely a traditional Garifuna word.

It's black owned.

Neither am I

She needs to change that. See, Bekura and Bask and Bloom were unnecessary. This case, it's necessary for real.

You know what....I looked it up after you mentioned it and I'm gone, done, and dead... ...

Good thing I've never purchased anything from this line.

 

[Saludable84]

Hit:
Making my own prepoo. I love supporting black handmade businesses but I love making my own stuff. It's such a catch 22 with me.

Possible Hit:
Komaza Protein Strengthner. I used this back in my relaxed days and it was too strong. Probably because I had already got my hair back to healthy, so I didn't bother with it again. Idk how much of the bottle I used, maybe half, but so far my hair is feeling good. My natural hair seems to really like hard protein.

I've never purchased anything from this line and I guess I never will.

They can change their name but they will never change my mind.

Mine too. And it's healthy.

Have you tried Repair Me from Curl Junkie @Saludable84? I've heard it was good. It's a Reconstructor though.

Yes. It's too light for me

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Yes. It's too light for me

That's what reconstructors are for me; too light.
I know people complain about protein treatments being too hard, but heck, that's what it's supposed to do. That's why you balance it out with something moisturizing.

@NaturallyATLPCH
Thanks for that little bit of 'edumacation' tonight!

I promptly took that jar and threw it outside in my Trash.

That was the best place for it to go.

@Aggie
It's out of my house but it's still in my Garage (in the trash).

When I go out tomorrow, I will take it and dump it someplace else.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Out of all the names you could name something....Why in the world would you come up with some mess like that?

Those some serious steps you are taking to get that crap away from you but I shole understand why though.

What the?!? What in the world possessed her to use that name? I got the creeps just reading about it! I wouldn't even want her products in my house with such evil tied to it.
