Sounds great...I might have to give away the blowdryer I bought recently and get this one. My stylist wants me to use a little heat now and then to smooth my hair cuticle to keep it from the breaking and shedding I experience with airdrying.

Here's a hit:

Ion Conditioning Ionic-Ceramic Tourmaline Dryer

I've been wanting to try one of these tourmaline dryers out and I finally buckled down and bought one from Sally's. It is awesome! There were several models to choose from. After debating on the Anti-Frizz, I went for the Conditioning model. Who doesn't want super moist hair, right?

It is supposed to dry hair up to 50% faster but I was really interested in the moisture-retaining properties that it claimed. I blow dried on the cool setting. Once it dried, it felt cool to the touch and extremely moist. Almost like it was still damp, but it wasn't! And even better... I experienced virtually no breakage. After I flat ironed, my hair was silky and blinging. It's been hours later and my hair still feels silky and moist to the touch. Two thumbs way up!

Another hit

Miss Key's 10 en 1 conditioner: creamy and wonderful great w/ my devacurl products. My new cheaper conditioner.

Deva curl Low poo: leaves my hair feeling super clean, but not stripped.

Verdicts still out...
Miss jessie's curly meringue: love the smell, but it's not as moisturizing as the pudding, and doesn't really hold my curl as well, but I have to do some further experimenting
 
Hit: Keracare Humecto in the tub but MISS for it supposed to be different than the one in the bottle. It was the same exact thing.

I just had to buy and give them a good home.:grin:

I think I agree with you. I recently bought the tub and compared them--I noticed no difference. I thought it was just me.:look:
 
Revisited hit......Motions Moisture Plus (tub) I was having issues wih tangles. Pulled this out and ...What tangles!


*I better not see a Oct thread up before Wednesday! lol*

I'm thinking about trying this. My hair tangles like I dont know what.
 
Tried Shikakai Powder in my henna mix and i liked the end result so i think this is a hit.

Cleansed hair with Rhassoul Clay purchased from www.hennasooq.com and i loved the way my hair turned out. My hair and scalp were cleaned thoroughly and my curl pattern was loosened after one use. My hair was nice and curly and thick today. This is a hit. Will re-order when i get a little more change. Until then i will alternate Shikakai powder and Rhassoul clay.
 
Hit: Mixed Chicks Leave-In Conditioner...it has a silicone in it but my hair feels extra soft and moisturized today. I got this as a sample with a CurlMart order and finally used it last night. I'm in the market for a new leave-in conditioner so I think I might just go ahead and purchase a full size (it's around $20 bucks for 10 oz). I'm not worried about the silicone ingredient because I clarify on regular basis (it also has a ton of other ingredients that I'm not too fond of but I'm loving the way my hair is feeling right now).

How did you mix your rhassoul clay? Any favorite recipes using the rhassoul clay? I used it once before but had such a hard time getting it to stick to my hair.
 
Here is what I am really loving right now:

Alter Ego Hot Garlic Treatment
All Soft Velvet Whip
Fermodyl 619
Qhemet Amla & Olive Heavy Cream
Castor Oil
EndAll
S2S Healthy Scalp Treatment (Sista2Sista)
Aveda Brilliant Conditioner
Elucence MB poo/con (forever!!)
Design Essentials Organic Cleanse poo
Surge 14(always)
Hollywood Beauty Carrot Oil
Amla oil
Silk Peptide Powder
Marine Collagen
Red Palm Oil (prepoo/oil rinse)
DE Stimulations conditioner
WRTC
ORS Replenishing packs
AvoCoco moisturizer

Is that too much? :rolleyes:
 
Hit:
AG Fast Food leave in..
I love the smell of this, and it is moisturizing. I've been faithful to my Giovanni Direct Leave In for quite some time. But this leave in is a good alternative, it's moisturizing and detangling. :up:... I would repurchase.
 
Sweet Almond Butter - so rich and creamy
Camellia oil
Mowrah Butter
ORS Hair Mayo (on dry hair a la MonaLisa)
 
HIT:

My Caruso setter. I don't use it often, but when I do need to pull it out, it always saves the day! I was going out to dinner last night and my hair was just in a bad way! No curls, flat. I just started washing my hair every 7 days vs. every 3-4 days and it seems my style gets flat over the week. Anyway, I was SOOOOOO tempted to whip out the curling iron and blow the dust off of it. "NOPE! I am trying to use less heat" I kept telling myself. The Carusos HOOKED me up!
 
Hit -
Designer Essentials Relaxer - In a word . . . WOW! I have the coarsest hair on earth & had 18 weeks of new growth. After my last relaxer in May I had real concerns about underprocessing. This busted through my NG in the allotted time and left it straight and silky.

Pantene Mask - had some in the cabinet and it smelled incredible for days. I don't think they make it in the same bottle I purchased.

Miss
Staf So Fro - It was gummy and I smelled like one of Jheri's kids. . .I'm talking Jheri curl yall.
 
HIT:
Hey Everyone! I didn't try anything special but what I did try worked quite well. I prepoo'd last night wtih Vatika oil for the first time. This morning I washed and then conditioned with LeKair Cholesterol Plus. My hair feels sooo good. I didn't even deep condition. I followed the exact directions. Leave on for two minutes ( I left in on for about five) rinse and repeat. My hair feels great. It's really soft and moisturized. Usually it doesn't feel that way until I add a leave in. I am working on building a new and INEXPENSIVE regimen. So far these two have made the list.

I didn't try anything else so I have no MISS.
