August Hits and Misses!
- Thread starter crlsweetie912
- Start date
I haven't done this in a while so this includes a couple of months.
Hits:
Rollersets
Mesh Rollers
Ion Space Suit Hairdryer
NTM Hair Mask
NTM Silk Touch Leave In
ORS Hair Mayo
Wrapping Nightly
Wrapping with Saran Wrap after Rollersetting
Misses
Profectiv Healthy Ends - I think it's too much protein for me, made my ends drier
Jury Still Out:
Sedu Flat Iron - It could just be that my hair needs high heat to get super straight and stay that way. I guess I had hoped with a better flat iron that I could use lower heat. I've used it about 2 times now (fully, not just roots) so I need more time to see if it's the best.

Hits: WGO (on hair-not scalp)- I actually like the smell 
Hello Hydration conditioner- It helps w/detangling and it smells good-but it has cones. My Elucence still wins hands down.

HITS
NTM Silk Touch Leave In
NTM Serum
NTM Shampoo and Conditioner
VO5 Kiwi Lime Squeeze Clarifying Shampoo (I think thats what its called)
MISSES
Lustrasilk Mango/Shea Cholesterol - I like the LeKair Shea Cholesterol better. This one didn't seem creamy to me. It didn't do much for my hair.
Aphogee Treatment - it smelled horrible and I didn't like how it made my hair hard. Afterwards I had more tangles than usual. Won't be using it again.

1. Baking Soda to whiten teeth

5. Aveda Damage Remedy Shampoo + Brilliant Damage control - This combo keeps my scalp clean and conditioned. Plus, I love the scent of Aveda

Hits: 1. Transitioning! I love the feel of my natural hair. I usually wear it up with a surgery cap on, so I can't have hair-in-hand disease at work. But when I get home, it is on! I can't wait to get a little more before I give the permed hair the ol' heave-ho.
2. S-curl mixed with a little Kemi Oyl. Nothing-and I mean nothing-makes my new growth softer than this. I use it only on the new growth twice a week since it can get greasy if you become out of control with its use. A little goes a long way.
3. Nioxin/Viviscal vitamin regimen. Since I have begun the combo, my hair has taken off. So has the hair on my legs, my lip, etc...

4. Lots and Lots of H20 mixed with MSM in the AM.
Misses: Qhemet detangling solution. It wasn't enough for my hair. It didn't detangle and my hair was crispy the next day. Luckily I only got the trial size, so that will have to go to the side for now.
On the Fence: Qhemet Amla Cream. I have used it as a daily hair dressing and it's ok. I am going to try it on wet hair and see if it does any better.
To Try Next: Elasta QP DPR-11 conditioner and Elasta leave-in conditioner. I have read good things about these products, so I'm off to try them this weekend.

Are you talking about the leave-in cream in the jar? How was it? My Sally's has been out of stock on this for the longest time.
Miss: Sebastians colourshines in ginger- I don't see any difference or intensity in color. 
On the fence:
BBD Stretch- I love the smell (fruity candy) and it does soften my hair, but I think I have to use it more to get the effect of more elasticity. I don't think it's worth the price tag.
BBD Glass- I love the smell (tropical). It smells wayyy better than the pudding and works better for some reason than the pudding. I wish I had a proper hair cut so I could use it more, bu for the test run secion of hair, my curl was elongated and defined.

Hairtopia Vitamins are a hit {I *think* }...it has been a little under a month and I've already seen some thick newgrowth at the roots. My hair was not straightened but I can tell where the new growth begins and ends...I ordered my second month supply already

Deva care low poo. I got soft, frizz free curls after using it.
Herbal Essences hello hydration moisturizing conditioner. This stuff is amazing!!
Herbal Essences color me happy conditioner for color-treated hair. It smells just like the old formula. It gave me the same softness I get from the Hello hydration conditioner.
Citre Shine miracle extra strength anti-frizz serum. I didn't expect this to work better than Fantasia or NTM serum.
Curly Q's moist curls moisturizer. This is the kiddies version to Curls Line. I read the ingredients and they were the same but the Curly Q's was cheaper. So far so good. I just use it for the first time today and my curls are more defined.
Herbal Essences break's over strenghtening conditioner. Another hit!!
Herbal Essences totally twisted curl boosting mousse. This is the best mousse I have used so far. It doesn't make my hair crunchy but soft with shiny defined curls.
Sunsilk De-frizz conditioner. I am going to try it alone for cowashing next week. Today I used it along with the HE break's over strengthening conditioner for deep conditioner and my hair is very moistuized and shiny.
Vo5 moisture milks passion fruit smoothie shampoo. I wanted to try the conditioner for cowashing but it came with the shampoo as a package so I just used it as a clariying shampoo.
La Bella Los Caballos conditioner. The smells reminds me of Nexxus Humectress. (coconuts). It works just as good as Mane and Tail or better.

That's the one!!! It's a pretty good leave-in. For a cream, it isn't too thick or heavy and dosen't leave any residue. My hair dosen't quite seem as soft and shiny as it usually is when I use my staple Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In, but it definitely isn't hard or crunchy, either. I rollerset my hair, and it has good body and movement, but I think I'm going to stick with the Cantu. My hair seems to like that one best. HTH!!
