How was this different from your day to day natural shedding? Has anyone else had any negative experiences like this?
 
ok heres the thing i find about these products with MY hair. the moisture shampoo is good and lathers really well. the moisture conditioner goes on really soft but no matter how long i leave it on it washes off like i never put anything on it. the lotion has amazing ingrediants but is so wet so for someone like me who always wears straight hair you might just want to use a little at a time. the oil is good and slightly thick which i love. the follicle invigorator is good, i think it did cause my shedding but i still love it. the protein balance leave in is my second favorite next to the invigorator.
 
I tried the Moisture Boosting Conditioner....it didn't do much for my hair at all considering all the rave reviews I've seen here. I have the Follicle Invigorator too...it may be too soon for me to comment in on it because I haven't seen any visible effects. The website mentions that it provides sun protection but considering that it's sprayed on the scalp, I'm not sure that's entirely possible. The Growth Lotion is a pretty good moisturizer but you'd have to use it with a light hand if you're wearing your hair down and want to maintain your hair's body. The Moisture Boosting Shampoo lathers very well and I assume that's due to the amount of SLS it contains. It cleans my hair well without stripping. The Growth Lotion is probably my favorite in the line.

I just used the whole line for the first time. I ordered the miniature collection for 24.99. I can't comment on everything cause my hair's still wet. I used everything just the way she said so I can see the full results. I'll come back when my hair's dry and give my complete review. The shampoo made my hair feel softer than usual right after I used it. It lathers well for the first minute and then the suds are gone. My hair felt soft and easy to comb after rinsing out the conditioner. Everything smells sooo good. The growth lotion smells like cake icing. I wanted to taste it but I didn't. My hair smells pretty edible.

I suggest buying the miniature collection to try it out. If you don't like it you wont feel as bad cause you didnt spend a whole lot of money.
 
I didn't read through all the pages, but.....here is my review:

I'm a natural. 3d on crown - temple, 4b back strip to behind the ears, 3b/c nape. (None of it has a defined curl)

I bought the Follicle Invigorator and Moisture Shampoo. I received the Conditioner as a sample.

I did not pre-poo, I gave myself a hot oil treatment with Apricot Kernel Oil and Brahmi Oil, then clarified with Apple Cider Vinegar, detangled and rinsed. I have filtered shower water.

The shampoo is VERY thick. Only a little tab is needed. It gave alot of lather and washed my hair well, but I am afraid it was too strong for my hair. It gave me terrible tangles. I towel pressed and applied the Moisture Boosting Deep Conditioning Treatment and I'd give it a 6 out of 10 for slip. The tangles were a bit much for it to handle, so I just left it alone (afraid of split ends). I put on a thin shower cap and steamed for about 2 mins. Then I rinsed it out with cool water.

The shrinkage!!!!! It gave me a bad case of the shrinks; even my nape was hiding.

I sealed with my homemade hair butter (Shea, Coconut Oil, Aloe Vera Gel, Apricot KO, Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil, Emu Oil, Vit. E, Sesame Oil, Lavender) and just left it.
Its still wet, but I'm not going to mess w/it anymore tonight.
Tomorrow I'm going to cw.

OH, and the fragrance: it is not strong, but it is citrus, with a touch of lavender. The "Invigorator"
has the strongest smell of the 3 products I ordered.

I will not be using this product again.

i threw all my products by her away.
i KNOW the folicle invigorator was causing my shedding and my scalp soarness.
 
The shampoo left my hair stripped but the follicle invigorator made my newgrowth soft. I tried the shampoo many times but everytime my hair felt like it had been clarified like straw.

OMG I had the same exact problem. I washed with the shampoos and my hair felt like all of the moisture was gone :sad: I had to stop using it. I did like the growth oil alot though. I also loved the follicle invigorator's smell. I would spray it on my DD's hair to help detangle the knots.

Its a little watery. Hopefully she'll come out with something thicker even if its a little more money.

She said that she's coming out with a lotion as well. I definitely want it because the smell is heavenly. :lick:

He ladies, I have the growth lotion too and mine isn't watery at all. The only time it did get watery was during the summer months. Make sure yall are keeping it in a cool place and see if there is a difference. :grin:

That's awful...and scary! Has your hair recovered or is it still shedding? I don't know anything about the manufacturer but I always wondering about product stability and quality control when purchasing products from small and new product lines.
 
I agree with the above comments on the shampoo - very stripping for my relaxed head. I have been using the products for a few months now and have decided to keep purchasing the Folicle spray - LOVE IT and the Growth Oil. I don't like the heat protectant, I only used it once - made my hair feel wierd. I'm on the fence about the moisturizing lotion - a little tooo heavy for me - sorta weighs my hair down, I'm going to finish it out, but only plan to add the folicle spray and growth oil to my line of staples.

I completely forgot about the protein balance - love that too - plan on re-ordering that as well. The conditioner isn't as moisturizing as I expected.

I'm a 4B natural and I ordered about $85 bucks worth of her products about 2 months ago. I really, really like the shampoos and conditioners. The shampoo is very rich, don't need much. I bought the hair growth oil but haven't used it yet. Everything smells nice too!

I'm not likely to reorder and not because they're not good prodcuts. They're exceptional; they're just pricey and I'm a little heavy-handed with my products. I wonna be able to purchase and use things that I can get locally (save the shipping costs and wait time). If she had a local retailer in my area, I would definitely re-consider.

Does anyone think that naturals like more of the line vs. relaxed heads? I love the smell - but guess I was expecting more from the conditioner. The growth lotion is just tooo heavy for me.

well its only been a week since i threw the products away but it does seem like the shedding has stopped. im going to wash and deep condition this weekend (or before) and then i'll be able to see if everything is ok. my scalp isnt soar anymore so im happy about that.
the thing is that i do think it gave me growth but im too afraid to use it again. someone said that shedding was normal when using a growth aid but i think i will just stick with regular growth because i had been using this stuff for months before all this shedding happened so that freaked me out.

No. I'm natural and my hair did not like this line. It was not very moisturizing for my natural hair. I feel like my natural hair requires so much more moisture than my relaxed hair ever did...and this line will not cut it for me.
I really wanted to like this line too.

I even tried it on my sister's hair (she is natural too). She was pissed off on how her hair felt after and yelled at me to never use it her hair again :nono:. I was just trying to help...cause I heard so many praises of this line.

So I am back on my search for products that agree with my natural hair (hopefully can find an answer soon)
 
I have been using the Protein/Moisture Balance Leave in as a moisturizer... makes my hair soft and I love it!
 
the protein balance leave in is the best product she has. every thing else highly disapointed me. esp. the deep conditioner. it went on so soft and buttery and then when u wash it off its like wtf? i really wanted to like the lotion but it was so wet.
i use the leave in every week when i blow dry and it makes my hair so soft.
 
I wish i had come across this thread before I started with the products, as I experienced some of the same problems others listed.

The shampoo stripped my hair, leaving it a tangly mess...I deep conditioned with the moisturizing condish and it didn't get any better. I lost tons of hair doing my roller set, and my hair was crunchy and brittle when I took the rollers out...breakage everywhere. I've been rollersetting weekly for years and It's never been so difficult.

I had to start over again and do another deep conditioner, this time with my Dominican products. It feels much better, but its still not back to normal.

I didn't have any problems with the leave-ins and lotions, so I'll probably continue to use those. I'm using the growth oil for pre-poo only because it's too heavy for me to use during styling.

I hope others can continue with their positive results, and even more can learn from my experience.
 
I'm reading this thread and I'm simply appalled. This is the line that so many raved about, then months later I now reading mixed to bad reviews.

I love LHCF but word of caution for the PJ in me again is to wait a few months for the dust to settle after the initial wave of hype before buying products. This should save my wallet and hair in a recession.:look:
 
Yes, these products are NOT cheap. It has taken awhile for me to come around to the line, but have decided that I will be repurchasing the Protein Balance Leave -In, Folical Spray and Growth Oil only. These products make my hair soft and manageable. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the folical spray. The shampoo and conditioner were less than impressive. Like everyone said the moisturizing lotion was way too heavy - once you know how much to use, it's OK, but I won't be buying it again. I'm in love with the other products tho. I also like the heat protectant spray.

I agree. I had very high hopes for this line.

The leave-in is the only product that worked for me & I purchased the whole entire set. :perplexed
 
DARN!! Why didn;'t I find this thread sooner. I just invested in the moisture DC...from these reviews, I am not going to waste my time and use it...
 
Everyones hair is different hun. Since you spent your money on it, I would at least give it a try. You never know you may love it.

I've been using the line since November. I purchased the deep moisture conditioner, the follicle spray, and the daily moisture lotion. Overall I was pretty happy with the products, but I've been on my hair journey since November, trying different things, so I think HTN probably worked in concert with other products that I was using to stop shedding and overall making my hair healthier. I do LOVE the growth lotion and will be reordering. I like to use it on my ends when bunning as it keeps my hair very moisturized.
