Hit

My ghetto improvised steamer. I wrap a plastic bag on my head, add no product, cover that with my sleep cap and call it a night. I'm guessing my body heat does something. I wake up to soft, luscious and squishy hair.

 

[ronie]

KCCC for twists: I had very defined twists but I just dont really get the hype with this product is hyped but it was just meh for my hair.

Hit

Talaih Wajiid The Great Detangler Awesome detangler and a good on the ground product

ASIAN Leave In Conditioner Great detangler, moisturizer, great slip and nice smell. Good on the ground product.

Continued Hit

Curl Junkie Smoothing Lotion Amazing!!! A staple moisturizer. The wind beneath my wings. I have several bottles on deck and will never be without it. It is thin but my thick low porosity hair soaks this up and loves it. I dont need to use much to get the job done.

Curl Junkie Smoothing Conditioner Great conditioner, would repurchase if on sale or if Aveyou ever had a groupon again.

 

[HoneyA]

Hit: Tresemme Flawless Curls Curl Hydration shampoo and conditioner. Pleasantly surprised. Does exactly what it says and my hair is silky and soft. This is a keeper.

I think people on here call that the Green House Effect (GHE), I'm going to have to try it because it seems to be working for other ladies as well.

Hits
Oil rinse with grapeseed oil (La Tourangelle) and Joico Reconstruct conditioner. Save some money and purchase both items at TJ Maxx.

Shop for Bumble & Bumble products at Ross or 50% discount rack at Walgreens.

 

[ronie]

Miss: Qhemet CTDG. It breaks my heart to put it there, cause it does the job well. The smell (strong raw cocoa butter), however, is a bit much. It did fade after a while, but i do like my products to either smell really nice or unscented. I am not looking forward to using it again, but i will try to finish the bottle somehow.
Hit: Bee mine deja hair milk

How did you hair feel post henna? I've always wanted to Hendigo, but never had the balls to actually do it, cause I'm lazy

It felt like each strand was lifting weights! Lol! It was strong and soft, noticeably thicker/fluffier. It was a little dry but after a quick cowash or two my hair was smoother and softer. Its a keeper. The only thing I'm experiencing is a little scalp tenderness and itching but hopefully after I cowash today it will feel better... Go for it! I left it in overnight and submerged my head in the tub to get it all out. Cowashed, showered then LOCB done!

 

[quirkydimples]

Continued Hit: Linange Shea Butter Relaxer

Hit: Nexxus Polymedic Emergency Reconstructor & Nexxus Humectress

I used the reconstructor as my mid-step protein and used Humectress under a heating cap...my hair feels wonderful

Another Hit: Cutting off two inches of scraggly ends

After my cut, I bought six bottles of Paul Mitchell stuff (mostly the Super Skinny line). The salon was having a Buy 1 Get 2 sale...so I couldn't pass it up. I plan to try some of the stuff at my next wash.

[Babygrowth]

Hit-
Spraying tea on my hair and DC'ing before I cowash (with the right products) soft, easily detangled hair every time!

 

[Forever in Bloom]

Big hit: Lush Caca Noir henna (already has indigo in it) mixed with Henna Sooq's Indigo Powder for Hair. Eliminated the need to do a double process I so don't have the time to henna first, then apply indigo.

My hair is finally the black I want it to be. Apparently, my natural hair color is this soupy, weird shade of light black.

 

[myronnie]

On the fence almost falling on to a Miss:
Naturalista Juicy Leave In Conditioner

This is basically just whipped shea butter. But wait IS IT? Because there are chunks of whole shea butter in my jar. Like really? So it's expensive semi-whipped shea butter..
It smells exactly like Claudie's Jojoba Cleansing Conditioner also!! It smells good and works like...shea butter.. I def will not purchase but I need a good whipped butter that isn't too heavy.

Nice Review! And thanks for saving me some money!..

 

[tiffers]

HIT
- Afrotastic Curl Elastic. Not much slip, but it softened up my hair on contact. After steaming and rinsing, my hair was VERY soft and moisturized. Detangling resulted in VERY little breakage.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@tiffers

Gurl....Thanks for this Review!

I had a 'sample' in my order and wanted a few more reviews before I decided to pull the Trigger. (It gets alot of mixed reviews) so I was undecided.erplexed

I'll try the sample and then wait on a Sale.
