You sound a lot like me. The further I got into my transition, I had to diss a lot of products, including a lot of my beloved Dominican ones :ohwell: I still love my BPT Wheat Germ, Baba de Caracol and D'Fina 11 en 1. I'm out of Silicon Mix so I haven't revisited lately.

:yep: I just tried the bpt wheat germ and it's the business! I just ordered a 56 oz of the baba de caracol. The nacidit experience had me a little worried the 11 en 1 would be the same. I hope my hair still loves it.

Because of your post on this I picked some up. Couldn't resist with the BTMS. Looking forward to trying this.
 
Misses: VO5 Moisture Milks- did notta for me

Salerm 21 b5- I've tried it 2-3 times and each time I use less thinking I used too much before and it makes my hair stiff..I guess it's not for me..
 
Re-visited Hits
Shescentit Avocado Conditioner (for co-washing)
Lustrasilk Shea Butter Cholesterol (for deep conditioning and leave in)
 
BIG FAT FREAKING MISS: The entire K pak Line (except for the Serum-which I loved). My hair has never broken so much in the almost 2 years I have been on this site! Never again! I won't touch that line with a10 foot pole! (sorry k pak lovers) If anyone wants to buy the line, pm me

HUUUGEE HIT: YTC line! I bought this and I just knew it would be a miss. The shampoo cleansed my hair without stripping it. The mask, OhhhEMMMGheee! My hair......:sick:....my hair.... has so much moisture! It has bounced back from the k pack horror (had to slide that in there:curtain:). Its like when I flat ironed my hair, it activated it! After flat ironing, my hair was SO smooth, had moisture, elasticity, and shine. YTC mask is offiically my hair's fix.
 
Hit" herbal Essences Color Me happy conditioner. Smells like the original herbal essences conditioners. Works well for detangling, adding shine. Leaves hair with nice scent

I have thin or fine IDK hair in general that really fragile. So I spray my hair with it NPF after washing and add Aphogee 2 min on top of that and get no breakage at all. I usually let it sit for 10 mins.....

I was looking for other ways to use it, but came up with nothing. I was thinking maybe as a leave-in....:spinning:

Where can you buy the neutral protein filler from?

What's YTC?
 
Hit- Adding Eucalyptus essential oil to my conditioners... Ill admit the first time I used it I was overzealous and added too many drops. The conditioning experience was very effervescent, but the rinseout was divine.:lick: My hair was so soft and strong plus my hair smelled like intense fresh botanicals.
 
Miss, trying to save my elucence MB and using aussie moist as a leave in. My hair likes it to co wash with but as a leave in, not so much
 
Hit:
Just For Me Smoothing gel.

I love this stuff! No alcohol, non flaking, non drying, a gentle hold....great for flyaways.

HITS

-keeping my hair flatironed for 2 weeks without washing:blush: yay sabino:weird:
-Ramtirth brahmi oil keeping said ng"moisturized" with daily light oilings
-Aphogee 2 minute recon- from demarcation to tip- just left in long enough to work through + a few min=noticeable strengthening and soft
-bb moisturizing lotion-a past staple when natural- corrected dryness from HEHH

HIT TURNED MISS
-HEHH as leave in- hair was nice and soft, but in a few days made my relaxed hair a little dry- will wait until mostly/fully natural to try again
 
My hair has a mind of its own now that I am transitioning. EVERYTHING that I used to love is now becoming a miss.

Misses:
ORS Pak
NTM deep moisturizing hair treatment (the new one)
Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose Poo and Con. OMG!! This crap just sat on my head. TOO much protein. Even my NG hated it.
Aubrey Organics Swimmers Line. OMG. It stripped my hair, but coated it, and it made it soooo hard.
Nexxus Emergencee, I have never went into protein overload with this stuff and now that I am 9 months post, my hair hated it!

Hits:
Cantu Shea butter leave in- jury is still out
Hot oil treatment with EVOO
Queen Helene Cholesterol as a DC, Love it. I can't believe it seeing how the ingredients are so bad.
Cowashing with my VO5 and EVOO
Trader Joes Nourish Spa Condish
Vatika Oil
