Miss--
Nadia's Olive and Orange Nourishing conditioner--I wanted to like this one so bad but it did nothing for my hair. My hair feels dry right now. I'll just stick with the Banana Brulee and fortifying masks.

Characoal Leave-in treatment--made my hair shiny but that's about it. My hair feels dry and rough.

i feel this way about the avocado conditioner. the banana brulee and fortifying masque are so much better.

I can't wait to try this! Is the consistency of the green tea hair butter similar to Qhemet's Alma and olive heavy cream?

[fivetimestwo]

hits: none yet...

miss: mixing jojoba oil or castor oil in conditioners. For some reason, the only oil that does well (in my hair anyway) in conditioner, is olive oil. I will not experiment again with other oils in my condish. It made detangling really difficult.

[betteron2day]

The Herbal Infusions carrot creme and hair mayo were a hit for me too. I only hate that it comes in such a small container but since they were only $1 i can go back and buy many.

 

[gorgeoushair]

I looked all over dominicanville in ny trying to cop/find an old bottle where minks sacrificed thier oil - the new version doesn't have the mink oil in it and I'm not even gonna bother to buy..

You can try adding some macadamia oil.......here's a thread about it http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=170887&highlight=lacio+lacio&page=2

[Evazhair]

HITS

Mega Tek!!! I believe this stuff really works and my newgrowth is looser. I am coming up on 10 weeks post and I could go longer than my scheduled touchup.

Moisture Maniac- got good moisture from it as a rinse. Also worked lovely mixed with Kenra MC and olive oil. Really helped with detangling ng. Wish I hadn't waited so long to try & glad I bought 3 discontinued liters of this for $10 each.

MOP Extreme moisture- very nice moisturizing treatment, but I have an aversion to conditioners in small tubes. I would repurchase.

Shea Moisture Lotion- nice moisturizer for the ng

Aromaland Ylang-Ylang Ginger conditioner-full of essential oils and a little milk protein. nice in prepoo mix and makes my scalp feel really nice


REVISITED HIT
AO white camellia conditioner- a must have for my newgrowth. It really keeps it manageable.

Aussie Moist conditioner- nice moisturizing cheapie

 

[Tee]

Hits:

JBCO - Works like a charm on wet hair. To think I use to hate this mess!
Jane Carter Solution Leave-in Conditioner: No problems with tangles today.
My Handmade Prepoo treatment for the recipe forum. Great stuff. I will try to add pics in my fotki when I make some more next week.

Revisited Hit:

Organics Hair Mayonnaise: I forgot how good this stuff is.

On the Fence:
Cibu Sashini Thermal Shine Solution. I love the smell of this stuff and it's and it gives great shine. So if I want to cover up a scent (Like the JBCO) this stuff is the ticket. But using it to flat iron with, I am not happy right now with it. I am going to try it again.

Hits:

Silk Elements Mild Relaxer
I started doing my relaxers at home in July. I opted for this brand because of the rave reviews on here. My siggy shows the results below. I love this stuff, and even after I cowash during the week my hair still has such a great silky soft feel one dry. Two weeks post and it still looks fresh!

Mega-Tek
Yeah as mentioned, two weeks post and the NEW GROWTH IS COMING OUT OF HIDING... And I only started using it this week after my touch up.

VO5 Lavendar Silk Conditioner
Amazing cheepy! I've used it for a DC once or twice too and my hair has felt and smelled amazing!
