So...What's working for you Curl-Girl? Other than the DE?

ETA: Because of You, DE is already on my list to try. I used it when I was going to the Salon

@IDareT'sHair the entire okra line from SSI and the Maracuja line from Curl Origin. Those are staples. Of course the classics like AOHC & OHHB are always on deck.

@curlyhersheygirl
I bought some QB CTDG fairly recently during one of her Sales. I haven't bought it in a while.

I had just been buying BRBC and AOHC and some of the Pomade from time to time. I would like to buy some OHHB though. I look at it but never pull the trigger. I also like that Softening Serum, but its such a small amount. I think it's 4oz.

 

[Napp]

It’s a 10 plus Keratin Shampoo: I was actually able to thoroughly finger derange my hair with little effort. Left my hair soft and clean. I think it will reach staple status.

 

[Plushottie]

Tressume moisture poo and conditioner have been my mid week quicke and they leave me always satisfied. Like I low key get excited on Wednesday shower time.

 

[Lissa0821]

Hit and miss for me: Taliah Waajib the Great Detangle leave in conditioner, it has my hair a big frizzy mess. Hate the frizz but love the voluminous look and feel it gives my fine hair.

 

[demlew]

Major HIT:
Sprouted Curlies - I've never bought anything from this brand, so I bought 3 during their last 30% off sale. The shipping was super quick! I used the Avocado and Kale Overnight Mask last night and WOW!! First of all it smells amazing. I'd wear it as a perfume. Amazing slip and I can't stop touching my hair!

 

[Napp]

Miss: Eco styler super protein gel. I didn’t like how it made everything brown. It didn’t make my hair look good either.

 

[Plushottie]

Hit Tressume moisture poo and conditioner these are my cheapie mid week wash day go to and the way my hair just melts is just silly

Oyin juice and berries this is such a lovely mist for a hair pick me up like wine spritzer for hair

Ayurvedic hair spray - makes my hair so soft. Detangling and slippy.

Kreyola double cream. More of a lotion. Works best for me on dry hair. Provides great moisture.

Juicy curls oil n gel gives nice shiny curls. The directions say use with double cream but that does not work for me on wet hair.

Ayurvedic pre-poo. I'm not a pre-poo person. So this did what it was supposed to do. Creamy and detangling.

I cant find my blowdryer, LOL. Chances are when I find it, the concentrator wont be with it and ill have to buy another one.

Megahit

InnersenseBeauty Hydration conditioner. As soon as it rinsed out my hair felt like butter. When you add water it gives you the slip to detangle but the softness after the rinse out was very nice.

 

[Napp]

Hits:
The Doux Bee Girl Honey Curling Custard: probably the best gel I’ve tried so far. It is unmatched in holding power!

The Doux Sexycrazycurl Honey Mousse: I really like the thickness of this mousse. I like it under cream or gel stylers.

Kaleidoscope Miracle Edges: Nice soft hold for my edges, Keeps them in place all day. Need to reapply every day but does not have any residue of flakes, very nice.

Meh:
The Doux Super sonic and ladies first Shampoo and conditioner Duo: These were really nice but I have other products that I would rather use. I will finish these products but not repurchase.

The Doux Mist Demeanor: Nice oil spray but since I spray into hand because mist is not fine, I would rather just use oils I already have. Smells nice. Will not repurchase.

Miss:
The Doux Sweetest Thing Deep Condish: This was just barely ok. My hair felt soft after rinsing but it does not penetrate as well as other DCs or even my high quality rinse out conditioners. I have one use left and I don't even feel like using it. It was so mediocre.

The Doux Push It Braid and edge gel: Soft hold but flakes horribly. I dont know if i even want to keep in my collection

Nice Doux-Review

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

New hit

Nice rinse out and detangler.

Miss
Amika overnight hydration lotion. Did nothing for my hair. Not for my hair type. Going back to Sephora

 

[Napp]

Miss: Brazilian Blowout Rewind. Did nothing but smell good. Waste of money.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Hits

• Innersense Beauty I create Hold with UFD Curl Magic. Together these work really well as a base for washngo. The UFD softens up the ICH without creating a mess.
• CocoBella Natural Intense Hydration Curl Creme. I was a little nervous because it was creamy and not a clear styler but it dissipated really well and added some nice hold to my hair,

I'm back to sing the praises of this DC again! I accidentally left my henna mix in too long (overnight bc I was tired) and my hair "dreaded"/tangled as it does it when I've left an actual protein treatment in too long. I marinated in this DC overnight and it untangled EVERYTHING and now my hair feels great!

Pattern Beauty moisturizing shampoo. Moisturizing? Really? No!
