Comme ci, comme ça
- Curls Curl Soufflé: it is an okay product. I like the consistency and like it on my body, but it does only an okay job of moisturizing and keeping frizz at bay. I will probably not repurchase it for my hair ever again.
 
New Hits-

Lace Naturals-Ayurvedic spritz,my hair/scalp is really moisturized & not sticky...Smells herbal,but lite..

Herbal Essence (come clean) conditioner-I am in shock,this is a really nice lite summer conditioner,for those that condition daily,this is perfect...My hair was left soft,silky,I even used it as a co-wash/rinse-out..Can't believe it $3.99 WHAT? Yep,$3.99..Again is a lite summer con.....Brought it on a whim..

......................................

Continued Hits-

Camille Rose-Almond Twisting Jai,has a soft,lite fluffy hold & doesn't cause build-up,no white residue.

EVCO (cooking kind)-For oil soaks,with plastic caps..really prepares the hair for heavy styling/strengthening after color treatments.

G.O.W (Soy bean) oil-Still works as a nice pre for very dry hair & a sealent.
..............................................

Old School Hit-

Blue Magic-Hair Grease on the very ends,right before style gel,for braid-outs

Happy Hair Growing!

I have downgraded this to a MISS. It is just not holding up. Used it on wet, damp, dry hair and still barely any moisture. I have like a quarter left at this point. Going to use it up on my body and move on.
 
Hits:

- Stretching/Braiding while air drying
- Soultanicals Marula Muru on dry hair (moisture without any greasiness or heaviness)
- The ease of a simple ponytail braid-out
- The ridiculous amount of shedding/breakage I get from the above (see below; that's what was left in the comb after being uncombed for 3 days)

Hit: Hairveda Green Tea Butter Love the way this makes my twists come out plump, shiny, and juicy.

Hit: SD Razzberry Coconut Affair Smells awesome and elongates and pops my curls upon application

Hit: SD Shea What Deux. Thick upon application, but has a nice light scent and leaves hair super soft upon rinsing.

Hit: SD Mocha Silk Infusion. Packs a lot of protein in a little innocent, sweet smelling package. Leaves curls popping and hair is not protein hard upon rinsing.

Hit: Hairveda Hydrasilica Tea Mist. Smells good and herbally and great for that extra boost of moisture.

Continued Hit: Hairveda Whipped Cream, Hairitage Soft Coconut Marshmallows, Hairitage Sweet Butter Pomade (so mad she discontinued), and SD Vanilla Silk

Miss: Hairitage Hydration Soft Summer's Twisting Gel Smells like the early 90s and doesn't tame my edges at all.

Neutral: Hairveda Red Tea Souffle, and Hairveda Whipped Gelly. Neither tame my edges, but I will use them on my twists/twist outs

PJaye that's not much shedding at all .I shed alot more than that .:blush:
 
Hits:
Caviar Curls Velvet Leave In Detangler-does exactly what its says
Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter-love the consistency and it moisturizes pretty good
Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave In-smells sooo darn good
Naturelle Grow Marshmallow Root Deep Conditioner-does exactly what it says


Hit:Carol's Daughter having a 50% off sale for the month of July.
Miss:Me not having any money to go back and get any LOL

Jury Still out On:[/B]
As I Am Coconut CoWash-it does provide a deeper clean or at least it feels that way and not sure how I like it
CURLS Coconut Curlada Conditioner-not sure how i feel about this but I see this making a decent cowash or a leave in but as DC...I think I'll pass
Duafe Naturals Protein Rich Hair Milk-the word "Milk" can be misleading when it comes to this product. It is not a hair milk. It is a shea butter based moisturizer. Had I known this, I wouldn't have ordered it. It does work as for as a shea butter moisturizer would.

Im gonna assume you're at a nail salon and not at home @PJaye :lol:

btw what's stretching while air drying?

FelaShrine

You're not supposed to look at the background of a picture, just the foreground.:lol:

For me, stretching involves "ponytailing" and braiding until dry. In general, stretching requires the hair to be kept in an elongated state, via banding, braiding, twisting, etc., in order to prevent one's curls from shrinking while drying. This has worked so much better for me than air drying loose or in a bun.

@Beamodel

I feel the same way. She left a really bad taste in my mouth. :rolleyes:

Fortunately for me, as soon as it came (finally).....I listed it and it sold like in 8 minutes.:look:

And that was a huge relief, because I had got so mad by then...it was going skrait in the Trash.
