Miss
Bask and Bloom
Deep conditioner. Not enough slip. No moisture for me.
Moisture cream . Leaves white beads in my hair. No moisture.

Meh
Bask and Bloom
Leave -in Has nice slip, But doesn't give moisture on wet hair.

Had to rewash and condition my hair with Bekura Leche. Hair feels 100% better

Hit: Nutrafol vitamins. I’ve been weaved up with leave out since December (back to back installs) I’m on month 4 of the vitamins and can tell a huge difference in growth rate. My eyelashes and nails have been growing a ton as well. No issues with acne. In fact skin is clearer. Only problem is if I take them in the morning the biotin makes me dizzy. So I take them right before bed with no issues at all.

Hits:
Its a 10 Coily Gelled Oil: Great hold, no flakes
Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Reconstructor: makes hair silky and smooth in minutes with no heat
Keracare Hydrating Detangling Shampoo: Works way better on my chemically treated hair.
Olaplex Step 1 and 2: Very little breakage with this


OK:
As I Am Coconut Cowash: Cleanses hair well enough. Does not impart enough moisture
Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor: Mediocre protein treatment
Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque: Mediocre moisture treatment. Does not soften or silken hair even with heat.
Camile Rose Almond Jai: Gives moisture with no build up but will not repurchase

Miss:
Authentic Beauty Concept Amplify Conditioner: Flaked very badly when used as a leave in
Image Intrakera Deep penetrating leave in conditioner: Doesn't play well with other products.
NYBEE Royal Edge Regeneration Superior: Holds edges but not all day

Miss but will used it all up: Taliah Waajib Curly Curl Gello, I did a twistout that lasted one day, my hair was flat and stiff the next day after the takedown. I will use to add curls to my ends for a low ponytail as my hair has a soft curl and very hydrated.

Hit: Authentic Beauty Concept Amplify Conditioner as a rinse out- My hair was like butter rinsing this out. It's serving deep conditioner vibes after only 3 mins no heat!


Miss: Every single Curls gel I've tried

 

[naturalyogini]

Miss
Saffiyahbotanicals Stretch curl gelee. This used to be my go to. My hair hates it now. 16 oz jar in the garbage. My hair hates every single gel and curl cream I've tried. Here's hoping Negesbanda Juicy gel works. Otherwise I'm going back to the creamy crack.

Hit:
HennaSooq's Cleansing Conditioner(s)

 

[MilkChocolateOne]

Miss: Every single Curls gel I've tried

I thought it was just me. They make my hair look dull and ashy.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

They don’t even work @MilkChocolateOne Horrible

New Hit
DE almond & avocado honey curl forming custard.

This does everything I need it to all by itself. No LI, oil, refreshing nothing and my hair lasts the entire week
