That's a good idea. Do you mix it with anything or just spray on it straight?

HONEYDEW! Omg, my heart hurts a little for ya thinking about that dryer. Surely it can be returned??!! Even still, I'm sure you were all set to use that thing! I'd probably end up crying being the emotion wreck I am, lol!
To justify me adding to this thread:
Hit: Kelp capsules! I've used them about a month and my nails and digestion are better if nothing else. I was an acrylic-junkie and decided to go natural everywhere... My nails are STRONG even after the last year of torture! My new growth is strong, too. It just seems like the texture is changing. Um, not really for the better, either (more coarse, seems more dry). I won't say it's a miss b/c I don't know how it'll be once I relax.

Dang! That's the same thing that happened to Glossy, but at least she got to use hers for 2 years first. That's messed up HD!!!

I love this as a leave in too. I dont use it as often anymore but it's still good. (Sunsilk is holding me down right now in the leave-in dept. for less.)
Ooooh! Which product by Sunsilk? I love your hair! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
. Castor Oil is also a huge hit for me.

HIT: Nacidit Olive Oil poo, con, and rinse 
I finally stepped out into the full dominican realm and all I can say is WOW!!! I thought Aveda DR made my hair melt, but it ain't got nothing on these. I must say I usually give products a few weeks to see any lasting effects, but these and Emergencia just make me wanna holla!

Hit:
Sunsilk Straighten Up Creme- This is really helping me manage my new growth. It helps tame and elongate my wash n goes, plus control shrinkage.
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle as a leave-in on damp hair- Just YUMMY!!
Revisited hit:
Braidouts- love these. Nicely maintained by co-washing too.

You are more than welcomed. The purple one is my top pick.
The Dark Pink (Anti-Caida) is for breaking hair. I didn't know that when I picked it up. (I picked this one up by mistake) But it's great!! Here is the write up on it from the Sunsilk site.
Anti-Caida
You’re the girl who sees more hair on your brush and your bed than on your head. Don't worry. It’s normal for hair to fall, but the daily stress that your hair suffers may be making the problem worse. Sunsilk Anti-Ca

Thanks for the additional info! I don't have any breakage right now. Funny thing is before I read your reply I was looking at this in my local grocery store. I'm in North Carolina and the Harris Teeter markets have Sunsilk buy two get one free.
Off Topic: I'm a Taurus too. Thanks for the help my psychic sis! :blowkiss:

Redken All Soft Velvet Whip - it's a leave-in thermal softening treatment and it is excellent. I have been using it after several washes so far and I love it! It does just what it says. My hair is so soft. I can feel it as soon as I put it on. I got a sample of this to try so now I am going to get the full size.
Redken Clear Moisture Instant Polishing Prep - this is a leave in cutting and detangling lotion. I have used this a few times and it is a great detangler for me. Definite keeper.
Revisited Miss, Now a HIT
BTZ Split End Mender - I never cared for this but I was about to throw out the bottle and decided to try it again. This is a nice creamy leave in. I used it for wraps and pony air dries. Great results every time. I meant to mention this weeks ago.

I really think this product is what I am looking for. I am kinda in between creamy leave-in right now, since my favorite was discontinued. I have a few I have been testing out, but nothing has really given me fireworks.
I just don't like the way the Redken All Soft Conditioner smells, so I assumed this one smelled the same way.

HIT
Sareca's Red Palm Cream. It's great!
On The Fence:
Nutrine Garlic Poo: Suppose to help with shedding but it leaves my hair so dry and tangles. I still have some shedding but I dont think the tangles and dryness is worth it. (plus this has SLS and my hair is not use to that after using the yummy Eluence!

HoneyDew...OT.......What did you ever do about your Pibbs??

They are going to send me another one, and refund me shipping for returning the defective one. I was looking forward to using it next week after I remove my braids.
I reported the product to http://www.cpsc.gov/talk.html. I would not have if Glossy hadn't experience the same thing.
I am going to be afraid to use this thing, but it helps that I am aware.
Oh, mine was not a pibbs. It was the Pebco Pro-tools one that is about 50% less that the Pibbs. I like the dryer and I think it will be good for me - if it will not burn and melt!
Thanks, for asking Letitia.

I am so glad they are sending you another one. I was really wondering how they worked it out for you! I am glad they did the right thing. I can't wait to hear your update on it once you get to use it.
*OT again,
I order the Chocolate fling today.
