Hits & Misses: December 2016

[Saludable84]

Very Possible Hit:
Jakeala Flaxseed Leave In
I may have used a bit much, but it's a spray on watery consistency. Today, my hair was very soft and feels very moisturized. It's not like when it's soft with the SM LP leave in, but incould see myself alternating between both. It feels more hydrated versus just soft

@naturalyogini
I just bought the Cleansing Conditioner over the weekend and the Aloe Leave-In.

I asked for a Sample of the Hair Whip with this order, .which has already shipped.

I have the Mango Restorative DC'er. I haven't used it yet, but whenever I do, I'll Steam it in.

I got a Mint Conditioner as a sample and liked it, so I got x2 Bottles BF.

Hit

Soultanicals Double dutch Hair Yum on the little one. Super moisturizing, creamy and sinks into his hair nicely. Wonderful sheen. Received a sample in my last order.

HIT:

APB Daily Refresher Spray. This makes my hair feel really soft and I sealed it with Bask & Bloom Silky Aloe Curl Pudding.
Bask & Bloom Silky Aloe Curl Pudding was also a big hit by the way. It is very light and fluffy but still packs a good punch as a sealant.

MISS:

Soultanicals Fall Bundle. I didn't care for it so I packed it up to give away. Smells good though.

 

[Smiley79]

I have to repeat this especially since I have been trying it for a while now. This is what I have been looking for a spray moisturizer/refresher/leave in. I bought it as a blind buy at Sally's and am extremely pleased with it! The price point is awesome too, I think it was $8.99

Um! Where's the pumpkin?

OMG! I agree. It really is becuase there is no pumpkin in it. So really it's just a coconut and aloe conditioner?

Anyway, I will not be buying that. Coconut high up the ingredients list is not good for my face .

I am so sorry this happened to you @Saludable84

That's like that Shea Moisture masque I brought that said it had keratin in it yet it wasn't on the ingredient list anywhere Like how you gonna have a pumpkin conditioner without pumpkin, not even a fragrance

 

[rileypak]

I'm not even a fan of that DC (well the original formula) and I'm angry for all the folks I know that like/love it!!!

I have the original formula and I have trying hard not to use it yet. Now I'm just mad as hell. I have no words for this this this.....betrayal. Now it just doesn't matter anymore

 

[rileypak]

The DB website still has the wrong ingredient list too!!!

 

[Aggie]

Yes I see that but it's interesting that they did mention that the color of the newer batch will change and be greener, but it never made mention of the formula actually changing, unless they forgot to list it properly.

@Aggie @rileypak

I'm hoping it was an oversight. That is a completely different Conditioner listing and I don't think any of the other Conditioners are green. But that's still disappointing because it's completely different. And I would have never noticed had the label not been different.

I'm really hoping it was an oversight but if it was reformulated I'm just going to never use my old ones.

For those who love that DC, I truly hope it was a mistake

I sure hope so too because I was just thinking about buying more of it and the Cocoa Bean Hair Whip too since I found a way for it to work well on my hair.

 

[Aggie]

If the formula changed and the Pumpkin DC does not behave as well as it did before the change, I will knock this brand off my list of repurchases. I ain't down with that, nuh-uh! .

This kind of foolishness is the catalyst for product hoarding. You can't just reformulate a popular product and hope no one notices.

 

[PJaye]

Miss: Under-filled products, especially DCs.

There is nothing worse than opening a jar of conditioner and seeing a huge air bubble in the top where 1-2oz of product should be. Or, seeing that the jar of conditioner has been filled way under the lip. Stuff like this leaves me feeling gyped out of my hard earned money, as well as 1-2oz of conditioner. I'm sitting here evaluating my BF purchases and I realize that I have at least 3 jars of under-filled conditioner. WTH man!

And as I was skipping home from the PO, i was just thinking to myself i should buy a few more just in case.

Darcy's emailed me promptly this morning. They have not reformulated. It was an error while they are "rebranding".

Somebody erroneously changed a WHOLE ingredient list on their way to changing the label color and format. Especially when nothing else offered on your site is close to the ingredients on your new label but it was an error...yeah okay
Be careful PJ sistas

(this emoji will be getting a workout from me I see today)

I thought the same thing. I was even thinking about that last night because I could see it is rebranded. I'm really hoping this is an oversight becsuse i have no dupe for this.

Considering NG reformulates quite a bit without notice, you just have to compare your product list to the one on the website, and hope you get the one you want, I'll see what else DB has to say. I'm forgiving to very few brands and the Pumpkin Seed is a must have for me.

She better fix this sheeeeeet.
