Hit: Nutrafol vitamins. I’ve been weaved up with leave out since December (back to back installs) I’m on month 4 of the vitamins and can tell a huge difference in growth rate. My eyelashes and nails have been growing a ton as well. No issues with acne. In fact skin is clearer. Only problem is if I take them in the morning the biotin makes me dizzy. So I take them right before bed with no issues at all.
Hits:
Its a 10 Coily Gelled Oil: Great hold, no flakes
Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Reconstructor: makes hair silky and smooth in minutes with no heat
Keracare Hydrating Detangling Shampoo: Works way better on my chemically treated hair.
Olaplex Step 1 and 2: Very little breakage with this
OK:
As I Am Coconut Cowash: Cleanses hair well enough. Does not impart enough moisture
Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor: Mediocre protein treatment
Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque: Mediocre moisture treatment. Does not soften or silken hair even with heat.
Camile Rose Almond Jai: Gives moisture with no build up but will not repurchase
Miss:
Authentic Beauty Concept Amplify Conditioner: Flaked very badly when used as a leave in
Image Intrakera Deep penetrating leave in conditioner: Doesn't play well with other products.
NYBEE Royal Edge Regeneration Superior: Holds edges but not all day
Miss but will used it all up: Taliah Waajib Curly Curl Gello, I did a twistout that lasted one day, my hair was flat and stiff the next day after the takedown. I will use to add curls to my ends for a low ponytail as my hair has a soft curl and very hydrated.
Hit: Authentic Beauty Concept Amplify Conditioner as a rinse out- My hair was like butter rinsing this out. It's serving deep conditioner vibes after only 3 mins no heat!

Saffiyahbotanicals Stretch curl gelee. This used to be my go to. My hair hates it now. 16 oz jar in the garbage. My hair hates every single gel and curl cream I've tried. Here's hoping Negesbanda Juicy gel works. Otherwise I'm going back to the creamy crack.
