April 2015 Hits & Misses

[*Michelle*]

Miss - Aphogee Curlific Curl definer....um GAG!!!

Hit - Aphogee Curlific Moisture rich leave in, very light weight and doesn't leave a residue/stickyness. Feels as though there isn't anything in the hair...weightless!

HUGE Hit - Aveda Be Curly Curl definer....can we say my hair is defined and ultra soft. Although I do like SHINY hair and don't get that from this it does leave a nice healthy natural sheen. I know it was this because I accidently forgot to put the leave in in and used it. I'm use to straight hair and never use a leave in. I realize it's much harder to get shiny hair on curly hair and I def would rather have a soft natural sheen then hard shiny ramen noodle curls.

HIT: Novex Bamboo Leave-in conditioner.

 

[Brownie518]

APB Moisturizing conditioner - I got this as a sample a while ago and just recently tried. Nice and thick and super moisturizing. Nice slip, too. I'm going to order an 8oz of this in Cake Bake

 

[loulou82]

Started as a Miss now a Hmmm...

Silk Dreams Shea What Deux. I couldn't quite get it to work for me previously but I rubbed it in my hands first, applied and steamed. The conditioner melted into my hair and left it quite soft. Yay!

 

[girlonfire]

Hit: VO5 strawberry moisture milk conditioner. Mama used to use this in my hair when I was a youngin and I strayed. It still works! Now I'm not about to use this as a leave in but it's a pretty decent detangler!

Yep. That moisture milk is what got me on the VO5 bandwagon when I used it in 2013. I remember it being used when I was really, really young but I hadn't used it for a long time... The only thing I don't like is that plastic-like smell. The smell of the one I got in 2013 was better. Now it just smells weird.

Using the scalp invigorator with oils to massage my scalp. Not only does my scalp feel good but I'm noticing a positive change in my hair.

Continued hits
APB's LI and puddings

@curlyhersheygirl

How do you like the scalp invigorator? I bought one but forgot I had it! SMH![/QUOTE]
@mzpurp It's awesome. I use it weekly as I mentioned and it is very soothing to my scalp. I don't use it as a shampoo brush , just solely as a massager with oils and I love it.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Continued Hits:

Jakeala Honey Hair Mask, soft bouncy hair after rinsing
PB by Annabelles White Chocolate Mousse Mask, easy application, soft smooth hair after rinsing

New Hit
Twisted Sista Dream Curls Cream gel, This looks like loose flaxseed gel. The consistency is perfect to slide down wet hair. Its oober slippery which is a con as well because you could spill it but I LOVE it. Coconut oil is WAY at the bottom of the list, thank goodness.

Sweet Soul Magic Curl Stimulator Gel, Probably due to the water now in this is very loose but it still has that gooey sticky texture and glides down the hair shaft. So far so good. On my second run with it and loving it.

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

I'm so jealous of your curls!

Miss: Mielle Organics going up on their shipping by switching to UPS

 

[IDareT'sHair]

CONTINUED/ON-GOING-FOREVA' KINDA HITS:
Claudie's Reconstructor
Claudie's Protein Renew

 

[Lymegreen]

Major Hit:
Shea Moisture JBCO Leave- in

This is what my relaxed hair has been begging for. My hair has turned a major corner around breakage. This product is so light and allows my relaxed hair to move as well.

I stocked up this week.

Miss:
BelNouvo Co wash. meh.. I won't repurchase. But I will use the rest of what I have.

 

[gorgeoushair]

Miss: CVS not giving me a raincheck on the Purification Masque(I bought the last two and a body lotion and wash) because they said I was at my limit. Heck I wanted 4 masques!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@gorgeoushair
How did CVS know you had 'reached' your limit?

 

[gorgeoushair]

Because it says limit 2 on receipt. The 2 purification masques has limit 2 and the body lotion and wash has limit 2 on receipt. He was a manager. Maybe if it was just a worker, they would have given it to me anyway. IDK.

 

[gorgeoushair]

Be sure y'all are scanning your CVS cards at the coupon center. I got a 20% off coupon and it knocked off almost 15.00 of my total. I got $90.00 worth of stuff for less than 30.00.

 

[Beamodel]

Instant Hit

Alphogee Curltific Leave in
Left me with extremely soft new growth and very moisturized hair

 

[blackmaven]

Miss: CVS not giving me a raincheck on the Purification Masque(I bought the last two and a body lotion and wash) because they said I was at my limit. Heck I wanted 4 masques!

That is a load of crap,they could have gave you a raincheck .......The CVS I went to allowed me to do separate transactions. Plus I did a rain check.

I purchased 8 masque online. I got tired of stores claiming in stock,go there looking at naked shelf.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@gorgeoushair I Agree with @blackmaven.

I have never heard CVS come talmbout "you've reached your limit"

 

[NicoleSelah]

Miss

Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditioner. I hate the smell too.

I'm glad I got the small size because I would have been mad if I bought the larger size.

 

[gorgeoushair]

@blackmaven @IDareT'sHair

Yeah I agree considering I was just going to get 4 masques and they only had two.

I purchased some online too. Heck if I'd known that I would have purchased more online.

I'm ticked SM started this whole mess in the 1st place.

@flyygirlll2 Is this the ceramide complex you're talking about? www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005UGULTO/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1429374905&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&keywords=Ceramide+Complex&dpPl=1&dpID=41YLnbPPe7L&ref=plSrch

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Newest Huge Hit:
Jakeala's Nappy Hair Butter (Had it in my Stash a while, just pulled it out)

Now I see what all the Hype was about!

I'm using Peach Bellini in this one.

@gorgeoushair

Me too! I don't see the purpose. Why release a dandruff line when clearly you already have one. Heck the Purification Masque is right beside the dandruff shampoos at CVS so what does that tell me.
