Hit--Steamer

I used it for the 3rd time yesterday and it is a HUGE hit. I prefer to dc on dry hair and I alternate protein dc & moisturizing dc. The absorption (sp?) of the dc into my hair is amazing. My hair is thick and I need alot of conditioner. Yet when I look into the mirror afterwards in some areas of my hair the conditioner has completely absorbed. Also I start with all of the hair piled on my head but by the end my hair is hanging long. My waves (ng) are popping after steaming. Detangling has never been that difficult but each time I steam the comb is starting to glide through my hair. That is fantastic at nearly 5 months post. I am thinking of upping my steaming to 2x/wk.

Girl, Isn't Steamin' Da' Bomb ??:grin: I think I read in an earlier post you and I have the exact same one.

It definitely makes your Products perform much better and it just makes you hair feel fabulous. I am hooked on Deep Conditioning Steam Treatments. Even though I want to do it everyday, I only do it once a week.

I love my steamer.:love2:

I had it just sitting in my Great Room for about a Month B4 I got around to moving & using it:nono: What was I thinking about?

I think out of anything I've invested Money in (so far), this Single one piece of equipment has surpassed it all:grin:

Hits

Baba de Caracol dc:lick::love:- transitioning staple- very slippy,detangling and moisturizing-will be getting the 56oz:yep:

Sabino Moisture block:love:-it's official: Major HIT- my blowdried hair did not revert in the rainforest that was DMV last weekend & my hair was very silky with this. She only used like a quarter size amount for my whole head:blush: I did have to shampoo twice to get it out though with kenra ms though.

T3 dryer: got my ng relaxer straight on low-my stylist highly recommends , but I won't even consider until 100% natural and I get some skills:rolleyes:

not needing to get the 2 inches cut off I was prepared to lose


continuing- ayurvedic herbs- these are keepers

HE LTR/break free leaves in as moisturizers



From my personal use it up:

Rusk brilliance leave in- ok detangler with a little moisture & hold, will use up and won't repurchase

Victoria's Secret Straightening Balm: smells good, otherwise OK- it was free and won't buy

*living vicariously through you....I want some feedback in a few weeks cuz... and no, I'm not cheating on phyto...just ...um...:look:

anyhoo, let me add a personal hit (most likely would not be compatible with others)

WEN Fig left on overnight with SitriNillah and YTC mask...don't know what it is, but my hair lurves it...so..sticking with it.
 
Revisited Hit: I agree with HoneyA, low to no manipulation is saving my hair, and it took me long enough to figure that one out.

Another Hit: A hot oil treatment of honey and EVOO or a hot pre-poo of epsom salt mixed with conditioner on my increasingly thicker new growth is awesome. I love their ability to soften my hair really well for easy detangling:lick:.

Miss: Manipulating my hair wayyy too much, ie, washing, cowashing, 3 or more times per week, my hair is fighting me something fierce right now:nono:. Once a week I think is enough washing for my hair for the moment anyway:yep:.

Miss: Noodle Head, complete waste of 5 bucks. It gave me some curls but nothing to write home about.
