August 2008 Hits and Misses!

The bee mine serum for me is a hit, melting my new growth, Thank God! And it smell so good!

MY GOSH! Your hair in your siggy! Phenomenal! :spinning:

When/if....WHEN (I'm claiming it):grin: my hair grows that long, "can't tell me nothing" will be my theme song. :lachen:
 
Box braids. I think it may have been because I washed them...I'm not quite sure. But boy oh boy, it was a mess...
I had the same problem with box braids. I kept them in for 2 or 3 weeks and washed 3 or 4 times. They started to mesh at the roots and tangle at the ends. I worked on taking them out over 4 days. Never again.

YES! It was the roots that were the main problem for me. I had to really moisturize that mess when taking them down, but even then I heard that awful tearing sound. :perplexed
 
HITS:Ojon revitalizing hair treatment. Usually oil prepoos do NOTHING for me, but this was phenomenal--my hair was parched before I used it and it seems to be holding moisture a little better.
Also applying conditioner like a virgin perm--who knew it would make such a freakin difference!!:grin:
MISSES: Nothing yet. Gonna try LUSH jungle hair moisturizer and american cream conditioner.

Did the Bee Mine seem to enhance your curl pattern? It seems like my curls and waves have been seriously

Eisani!
Don't know if it enhanced them, but girl.. I love the way it loosens my new growth and makes it more manageable. I am 8 weeks post with new growth, that loves this stuff.

Your hair is pretty in your siggy. I wanted to ask did you use the new forumation of Aphogee 2 min reconstructor or the old. I did not get the same results from the new. I liked the old better.

tee....thanks...it must be the new formula cuz i just bought it in the store last week. The scent is nice but theres something that is off about it.

Hits:

- Vatika Enriched Coconut Oil
- Dabur Amla Oil


The recent thread on Vatika oil made me break my promise to myself not to buy anymore products before I finish what I already have! :nono: Oh well, My willpower lasted long enough, it was time to treat myself; That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. :look: :lol:
 
HIT:

This spray has been a great product to use while I am in braids. I use it before apply my leave-in spray and my hair and scalp love it.

Here are the ingredients: Purified water and extracts of Lavender, Burdock, Bhringraj, Saw Palmetto, Nettle, Ginger, Aloe Vera, Mint, Green Tea, Hops, Cherry Bark, Rosemary, Lemongrass, Horsetail, Capsicum, Zinc, Vegetable Glycerine, essential oils of Ylang Ylang, Bay, Lavender, and Rosemary.
 
On the fence: AO Honeysuckle Rose conditioner
Not really any slip, but my hair felt just ok when I rinsed it out.
 
Phyto 9 - a hit! This is an oldie but goodie (hadn't used it for awhile)

Yep that's how it was with my hair. I didn't really have any slip and it was just OK. Not really worth the price in my opinion. It didn't even work well like a Dc.
