Update: I've been using the regular forumla Taliah Qaajid Protective Mist Bodifier. This is a HIT! I really like it.

OKay Aggie, you made me do it. I picked up the Taliah Waajid Protective Mist Bodifier today. Which one do you use. (Medicated or Non) I went ahead and got both since I liked the ingredients on the medicated version as well)
 
Aubrey Organics HSR Conditioner mixed with Rice Bran Oil (RBO). Made my hair feel like butter. This was the first time I have ever experienced this sensation and I have tried A LOT of products!!!! I hope lotioncrafters is having a black friday sale so I can buy more RBO. RBO is pretty inexpensive as it is, but the shipping is not.

Have you tried shopping for it on www.vitaglo.com? They offer free shipping on purchases of $50 and above. I get all my Aubrey Organics, all other natural oils, and essential oils from them.

I'm sorry to hear this. I am afraid of BKT. :look:

You wouldn't be a true LHCFer unless you've had at least one setback!

Now that it's over, HAPPY HAIR GROWING! :grin:

Joico Deep Penetrating Reconstructor
Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm
Joico Silk Results Conditioner
 
Miss:

Aussie Hair Insurance
I used it instead of my regular Herbal Essences LTR, and when I took out my rollerset, my hair felt terrible. It felt really dry, crunchy and...naked, I guess. Normally after a rollerset, my hair feels really smooth, moist and coated, but in a good way.

It's a good lightweight spray moisturizer, so I'll probably be using it like that until it's gone. And then I won't buy it again.
 
Hit: Silk Elements "regular" relaxer. I used this today w/ no burning WHATSOEVER, even though I made the mistake of scratching yesterday. Also with washing the relaxer out, hair wasn't going down the drain. This was a complete 180 degree turn from my Linange relaxer experience--burn city (w/o scratching!). :nono:

ETA: this is the shea butter line.

Clairol Natural Instincts in Rosewood. Ahhhhhhh. =]

Unsure:

Linange Shea Butter No-Lye Relaxer...Wowza. Didnt burn but a lot of my hair fell out. :-( May have just been me and the health of my hair beforehand, but I just feel like with all that happened, I can't make a good assessment yet.
 
HIT: Hair One (new growth has never felt so moisturized) Little to no hair loss when I'm rinsing in the shower.
