April 2019: Hits & Misses

[curlyhersheygirl]

Hey divas
List what's working and what's not for this month.

 

[Aggie]

Major HIT:

Y'all I have to order another jar of this awesome Mielle Organics Pomegranate and Honey Curling Custard. This stuff leaves me with cute, soft and shiny little ringlets all through my hair.

Now I wish it came in liter sizes. I have to order more than one jar next sale for sure.

When a normal hit has a misfire:

My normal henna / katam was a root failure yesterday because I tried shampooing my hair first AND applied heat (normally don't do either). Ended up with very little color release at my roots. Grrrrrr. Now have to wait 4 weeks to fix.

Tentative Hit

Stunnababez Rice Water Leave in Conditioner spray. The softness of the hair closest to my scalp feels so good. The tingle as I applied it made me say mmmm!! Refreshing!

Yes, I know. Did it dissipate?

I still never opened mine to see if I had Lavender or Citrus. *not fond of either scent*

I didnt see him this morning before I left but he didnt say anything els after leaving the room. For me, after awhile I couldnt smell anymore lavender. I used a light amount today and none of the men at work said anything @IDareT'sHair

I’m wondering when I should inquire about shipping timelines. If you’re trying to get rid of all the stock then shouldn’t you be shipping as fast as orders come in? @IDareT'sHair

@shawnyblazes
Gurl...They are too many things.....

I don't know if this 5-6 month closure will do any good with their overall issues?

So I am truly mad at myself for wanting to place an order.

Tentative Hit
Gemini Naturals Get Hued Color Gel - fun way to play around with color without damage or upkeep

 

[IDareT'sHair]

New Hit:
NurCreations Ginger & Mint Hair Balm

 

[water_n_oil]

Miss: Obia Curl Moisture Cream. Foamy and it just sat on my hair so I abandoned ship and rinsed it back out. Will see how it works for my kids.

Hit: Obia Curl Enhancing Custard. I forgot how nice custards are. Makes me want to go back to just making one with Eco as a base though.

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

Hit:
Fenugreek Hydrating Mask (Homemade)
I used it to deep condition and as a leave in. Hair all kinds of soft! In love!

Miss:
Henna on my hair without following up with indigo. My roots are plum-ish and now I have to do another 2 step to fix it next month to make my roots match my length.

 

[water_n_oil]

Still a miss: Obia Moisture Cream. Didn't like it for my kids either.

APB
4 Butta Blend

This butter is probably the dopest butter I’ve ever used!!!! My hair is so moist and soft. It feels Incredible. I will always have this in my stash. I will most certainly be buying more really soon.

Hits


Devacurl Buildup Buster and Slip thingie ( can’t remember the name) for the LO. It lets me detangle his hair easily. I need to start using a little every day though because this one doesn’t like wash day at all.
