August Hits and Misses!

[LovelyLionessa]

Definate Hit: ApHogee Intensive Keratin Treatment (Only protien I've ever used that leaves your hair soft, silky, and slippy...it's awesome!)

Big Miss: JOICO K-PAK Moisture.... can you say brillo pad? Why can't we PJs just stick with what we know works?

Chayil

Oooh, I just bought a bottle of this yesterday. I always like those little sample packets but that was just too little conditioner for my BSL hair. I broke down and a bought a bottle since my hair has been feeling a little stretchy when wet, I have been overconditioning it a bit with moisture rich products so I figure the Aphogee Reconstructor will help. Plus I love the ingriedients in it. Thanks for the review!

CANTU GROW STRONG strengthening treatment is a joy to apply after my washes! I have been using this thing for a hot minute and it defines my curls, softens, and shines after a wash when I am getting ready to twist my hair. I can't tell you guys yet about the overall health and growth of my hair due to this product because of some split end issues I have been dealing with for awhile, but otherwise- this thing is the truth!!

[LovelyLionessa]

On the fence: Elasta QP Glaze

I just can't bear to put this down as a miss yet. I love the slicked down look it gives my edges but unfortunately it only lasts a minute. If I can't get the results to last longer, I'm afraid I'm going to have to put it down as miss. Hopefully I didn't waste my money and I can figure out how to "work it."

 

[aminata]

Matrix Curls Conditioner

 

[PinkPeony]

My trick is I use it on wet hair and tie down. It works so well for me. I hope it does better for you cause I love this stuff.

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Hit/Revisit:
Roux Porosity Control- This stuff is serious business, it helped detangle my hair that decided to do a 360 on me last wk. which I believe the Queen Helene Garlic shampoo had something to do with. I have never in my entire life had tangles like that.

Nexxus Therappee- it has already in two shampoos restored the moisture.

Misses:
Queen Helen garlic shampoo it has dried my hair out like crazy. After the few poos w/it I noticed a difference but was determined to curve some summer shedding that has been going on, I should have know better to listen to my hair.

Mane-N-Tail detangler- Detangle who/what oh because that crap ain't do nothing but drip all over me.

[tenderheaded]

Hits:

Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol - $3.50 w/ Sally's card. This is very concentrated. If you are stretching or transitioning, it looses up the curl pattern. I tried it 4 times to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Yesterday I had a BAD ACV experience - my hair felt like straw. Today my 10 wk post hair is laying down

Africa's Best Organics Leave In Hair Mayo - $3.49 at local bss 6 oz. A little goes a long way. It really does feel soft on my 4a/4b hair, and I need a relaxer!
