@naturalyogini
She seems very nice. She may give you a Refund. Let me know.

Hope your Scalp feels better.

ETA: I'd just ask for the Refund/Return w/o even bothering to try the other two.

Michelle is a saint. She refunded my money back. This is the best customer service I have ever experienced. They will do well. Too bad, I'm allergic.

I did try the ayurvedic shampoo and the moisture mask. Liked them both. No irritation. I feel bad that she refunded all of my order. Oh well. I'll thank her again.

That pomade sounds good. I love mango butter in styling products and you know I love a good babassu DC lol. I haven't tried a styler with it yet.

MISS Devacurl Melt Into Moisture: Not impressed. At all. I let myself get sucked into a really good YouTube video and took advantage of Ulta’s 20% off sale and bought this expensive butt conditioner I’d never before used. I almost want to return it...it gave me ZERO slip, zero shine/sheen, and my hair doesn’t feel like I even used a dc. It almost feels like I used a protein conditioner. My TGIN Honey Miracle Mask, SM Manuka Honey or Mielle Mongongo all to WAAAAAYY better.

Good to know. I was going to splurge on it one day.

They have a $20 DC???

They have a $20 DC???

The BSS I went to marked up the price smh (I essentially paid for shipping OTG). But I didn’t care because I was just happy they had it stocked.

I love that dc and tried to turn my sister on to it but it wasn’t stocked ANYWHERE. We finally found it at one bss and I felt we overpaid there. It was 15.99. She ended up liking it too.

You never know. It may work for you. @blazingbeauty above wasn’t impressed with one of my favorites, Mielle Mongongo Protein Free. It really is amazing how different products work differently on different heads of hair. But, I am mad at Devacurl right now.

@oneastrocurlie like Dayjoy said, it may work for you! It’s definitely not a bad deep conditioner by any means - it was just on the thinner side for me/my ends and that was only a first impression. But I’m going to keep testing it out because it did moisturize.

It really is amazing how products work differently (although it’s be nice to find a TRUE hair twin - there would be no guessing). I feel like natural hair products have evolved to where at least 75% of people can find something that not only works but works wonders. I know for a fact that has happened for me.

I tried the DC'er.

I like(d) it, although it gets mixed reviews. Will repurchase at some point during a good Sale.
