Co-signing. I love this conditioner. I even turned my mom on to AOWC and she loves how it makes her hair feel. My mom is not really into hair much, so you know that this is the business.

[Nayna]

Hits: AO White Camelia and GPB - I've been over night dc'ing. I've never done this consistently but more and more people have been commenting on how great my hair is looking lately.
Jane Carter Leave in moisturizing mist- That stuff is poppin'! And it can be used as a heat protectant.

On the fence: That leave in from Kimmaytube. I've tried it with KBB, Knot Today and Giovanni Direct. It's just ok on my hair. With the Knot Today it felt coated (I hate that stuff). I used it on 2 of my sisters that are natural and it's awesome (with the Knot today cus I had to get rid of that stuff). For me, meh. I like that it stretches my products. Maybe I'll switch out the castor oil for olive. We'll see.

Olive Oil Ecostyler Gel- I dunno about this one. It dries hard. I was using the pink one before and I see a difference.

 

[30something]

Mega Hit: Herbal Essences Long term relationship conditioner.. I use to co wash with it, thanks to my PJism I stop. OMG, I wish i didn't its so so so amazing.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

HIT:

HV Whipped Ends Hydration

 

[13StepsAhead]

Hit: HE "loves" product line--Drench to Quench moisturizing condish. I love it it gave my har soo much slip and softness. I'm not an ingredient guru but whatever is in this stuff almost made me break my neck from slipping in the shower.

 

[growingbrown]

Hits: (so far)
Isoplus Styling Gel Light (lays my edges down very good)

 

[jazzyto]

Hits prepooing with WGO and DC with White Camellia.

 

[divachyk]

On the fence about ecostyler olive oil version. I'm relaxed.

 

[Kimiche]

Misses: Products with glycerin as one of the ingredients, especially if it is high on the ingredients list. I revisited a lot of products with no success. This includes all the "juices" for me. So that means no S-Curl, Hawaiian Silky, Care Free, KBB milk/nectar, Darcy's leave-in and the list goes on. My hair hates glycerin and it gets hard as heck to manage. No thank you!

 

[Curly Luul]

Hits: Soft n Free curly activator – I don’t know why I ever stopped using this product because it always made my hair lovely and soft, my hair loves this and I have seen a great difference in my hair

Mega-Tek – It’s only been a few days but this stuff has worked wonders in my hair and hair line, its official I think I’m in love with it lol.

Elasta QP DPR11 – mixed with Olive and Argan oil this deep conditioner is making my hair really strong and supple. Thumbs up for me

Misses: Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1 is no longer doing anything good for my hair, after 3 years of usage its run its course. It now makes my hair extremely dry and causes bad breakage. Thumbs down for me

Keracare hydrating sulphate free – I used this once this shampoo made my hair dry and lifeless, when applying it to my hair I noticed it started to burn my scalp. Yes ladies I mean burn like fire :gotroasted:, why I don’t know! Will I ever use it again? No

Keracare Humecto crème – Made my hair dry and very fizzy, didn’t like this product at all. Won’t be using it again.:burning:
