4b and SitriNillah Masque?

[loolalooh]

I currently use Curl Junkie and LOVE IT ....

But they've upped the price AND shipping costs these days. So in the span of 4 months I went from spending about $17 total for 8oz ... to now $24 total. I'll keep on spending that much if I have to but ...

I'm eyeing the SitriNillah Masque really hard and wonder if it will do just as good a job? I want to hear some reviews on 4b hair first:

Is it moisturizing? Does it leave your hair soft? Etc.?

I tried it and wasn't a fan. I tried to DC with heat and without heat. Both ways left my hair just blah. I get more moisture from cheapie conditioners. To get rid of it I mixed it with some other stuff and used it as a leave in moisturizer. Maybe I used it wrong or needed to clarify, but I wouldn't purchase it again. The smell is heavenly though.

^^^ Thanks mucho for the review.

Any other 4bs?

I haven't used it...but I have read the comments about some of the ladies who used this...mostly negative-- it didn't do anything for thier hair...but again, I haven't tried it; so this isn't coming from mo

I tried Sitrinillah and it didn't work for me at all. I tried it all types of ways.

I tried SitriNillah Masque from Hairveda and really liked it. I find it works best applied to dry hair and with heat (I use a steamer cap). After I rinse it out, I use a very mild no-poo (Hairveda Amala Cream Rinse) to keep the softness and slip. Using the masque after shampooing didn't seem to do much for my hair either.

I like it but it's not a staple. I find it works best as a pre shampoo on dry hair when I'm coming out of kinky twists. I'm not wowed and the ingredients are average. I feel you on CJ. I only purchased it because curlmart.com had free shipping and they recently had a flat $7.99 shipping. That's the only time I'll buy CJ but I'll stock up when I do. Have you looked into Jessicurl WDT? If you try it and like it they offer a nice deal when you buy (3) 8 oz bottles or the gallon.

Im a 4a/b and I am looking for products that are great for my hair. Loulou82 and loohalooh, what does the curl junkie do for you? How does it affect your hair?

 

[loulou82]

CJ Hibiscus and Banana Deep Fix is a deep conditioner. The revamped formula is thick and creamy. It moisturizes the hair very well and leaves it very soft. It smells exactly like that old-school pink bubble gum. If I had to pick my top 3 moisturizing conditioners it would be Jessicurl WDT, AO HSR, and Curl Junkie.

Loo: This site sells CJ for less- http://www.curlicious.com/?manufacturers_id=17. Shescentit's Banana Brulee Conditioner may be comparable to CJ.

I don't like it... wanted to though. Glad all I got was a sample. If you want a great DC, you can't go wrong with Pantene R&N DC mask. It's perfect... great smell, softens the hair, melts NG, and gives really great slip. And it's about $5 I think.

I'm a 4a and unfortunately it did not work for me as a deep conditioner. I may try to use it on dry hair as a pre-poo as I love the scent.

My Pantene Breakage Defense Mask works wonderfully as a deep moisturizing conditioner.

It didn't work for me at all. I ended up exchanging it on the exchange part of the board.

Ooh-wee. I missed that free shipping deal. Thanks for the Jessicurl suggestion. I'll definitely look into that. I'm really loving this Curl Junkie but if a less expensive DC is comparable ... I'm on it.

I'm with Lou. It does a good job moisturizing and softening the hair. I like it because I don't have to add anything (like oils, honey, etc.) to enhance it. You know how some ladies say their hair feels like butter? I never had the experience until I tried Curl Junkie.

Wow ... now this price is more acceptable. Thanks for the site recommendation! Now I just gotta finish up the $24 container I bought. LOL. And Thanks for another suggestion. I'll look into Shescentit as well.

I've heard a lot of people mention Pantene R&N. I may look into that as well. Thanks for the suggestion.
