Wow, thats kinda hard. LoL

Ummm, well I guess it depends on what your hair needs. Are you looking for just moisture? If so, go with the c-pak. That does not have any proteins except for hydrolyzed silk which is a moisturizing protein anyway. The olive oil masque has hyrdrolyzed soy protein, wheat amino acids and wheat protein. It may sound like a alot of protein but it is still very moisturizing. If you use it and don't like them, they do have a return policy and they will give you a full refund.

My hair does well with a good balance of both protein and moisture.

LOL why you got that pretty pink flatiron flashin in my face. Girl, I'm bout to return my wack Jibere to sally's just so I can get this . Still won't use it.

I still don't know why I bought that thing. I feel like I am cheating on my FHI. Even my BF asked me this weekend "Just how many of those things do you have?" I was like

It is so cute, too. I still have not used it. My FHI is working perfectly. I should have saved that $85. But now that I have it.....

Aveda Black Malva Conditioner: This stuff is amazing. It provides color and conditioning. Be warned though, be sure to wear gloves while applying, I had to really scrub my hands afterwards to get the stains out. But I love this conditioner, it's perfect for touch ups when my indigo starts to fade and my henna red starts to show through.

This sounds really interesting. I was about to color my hair to get rid of the remaining light brown highlights in my hair, but its such a messy process ( dont feel like messing my light green bathroom rugs) I am going to look into this.

I am heading there TOday to check that out; I think I want to try the Jamaican Black Castor Oil, too; is that one you can get at the BSS (says its for locks) or do you have to order it on line??

Don't worry, even if you threw out your receipt, Sally's will give you store credit should you need to return it.

Hits:boundless tresses. it makes my newgrowth soft and I see some new hair growing in parts where my edges came out. less sheading also.

giovanni direct leave in. very moisturizing.

Miss: Aubrey White Camellia and Jasmine Shine Conditioner Spray. I just bought that and it makes my hair so damn dry . Ugh. waste of money.
Dove intense replinishing mist is a better one.

 

[trulyurangel82]

I am looking for a really good moisturizing deep conditioner. Although, I love Aveda products, I am not totally sold on the Deep Revitalizing conditioner that they have. I need something a little more moisturizing. Where can I find the Dudley's Hair Mask?

aubreys gpb is pretty good.
another one is proclaim tea tree oil conditioner for damaged hair. I used to use that. I got it at sallys.

Hits
March was a lazy hair month. So these were really just okay...
1. Dax Supergrow hair grease (used on NG)
2. My trusty Optimum Care super protecting shampoo is always a hit
3. Braid Spray as a daily moisturizer (surprisingly effective)
4. I think thats it

Miss
1.Nexxus Therrape Shampoo(this is the DRIEST moisturizing shamppo I've ever used)
2. Buying the huge bottle of Mane-n-Tail Shampoo (Dry)
3.Silk Elements revive and restore shampoo (dry some more)
4. Sunsilk conditioner-the green one (dry again)
5. Using anything other than my trusty Optimum care shampoo

Silk elements revive is horrible! I bought a bottle years ago and my hair felt dry as a DESERT. worst shampoo I have ever used in my life.

Try Target... I heard they sell Boots products.

I am just getting in here for the day but you know the PJ in me was coming back to check every post in here to see if anyone raved about something I already have.

I picked up my Dudley's Hair Mask from my beautician but but but.....I did find it on the net. (This is an 8oz jar.)

Check here. --> Dudley Hair Mask

Anytime.

Shikakai Powder + Elucence + a bunch of oils stopped my 16+ weeks shedding and left my hair strong. I know it was the Shikakai because I've done the exact same thing in the past minus the Shikakai and didn't have the same results. I highly recommend it.

TIGI Beadhead Control Freak Serum. Saved my butt after an unfortunate bantu knot incident .

I went out and bought some but don't know how to use it. How do you use yours?

 

[HoneyDew]

MISS:

Those cheap Annie Satin Covered Foam Rollers!! Well these are more of a disappointment because I am still going to use them for now. It's just that the "satin" in unraveling!!! Each time I use them they unravel a little more. I am going to have to throw them out soon. (Yes, I do sleep with these and a scarf on most nights - don't hate! )

Anybody know where I can get some?? These Annie ones are the only large sized ones I can find. Scunci makes good ones, but they are all teenie tiny.

NOTE TO ALL: These used to be too big for my hair. Now they are perfect!! Progress, I think!!

 

[divinefavor]

Please say it ain't so Honey Dew!!! I just purchased about $27.00 worth of these online last week. Got them in the mail on Monday, but haven't used them yet. I purchased them because, my Hype Satin Rollers were starting to get raggedy.

 

[Divalicious]

Yay, my first Hit and Miss!!!!

Hit: Herbal Essence Totally Twisted Curls and Waves Conditioner. I had great slip and after a DC, my hair felt so soft and it was super easy to detangle.

Miss: Myhoneychild Type 4 Creme. It made my hair feel really dry. I'll probably mix it with a conditioner or something.
