Mona, you've got me dying to try the White Rain conditioners. Do you only like the coconut? I went to the site last wek and saw that they have a bunch of intriguing scents. Also, do you just use it to CW?

My hair likes anything with coconut and the oil itself...so that was the first thing I gravitated to since last year and my hair loves it...so I fan out all over nyc trying to find it..lol.

Vangrey suggested the Fruit Fortifying, but her hair type is different from mine, so not sure if it would have the same effect on my hair. But I may give it a try after I make more progress. I have a lavender vanilla bottle in my stash (it was 44 cents, I had to), but I've yet to use it yet.

If I do CW's, I would use along with the DDTA.

I wasn't crazy about the DDC. How do you compare the Salerm Wheat Germ Mask to the NTM Mask? I love the Salerm Mask but I haven't tried NTM's Mask.

Girllllll...u better not let Sylver 2 here u talk about the DDC! lol..:sekret:

Okay...the Salerm Mask...the consistency differs....as you have used...u know how the Salerm mask is. Salerm has a bit thinner consistency to me than the NTM. The NTM mask is a bit thicker and creamier.

In terms of smell...NTM wins hands down to me.

I like the Wheat Germ oil in the Salerm. Makes the hair feel great.
The Olive/Meadowfoam Seed/Sweet Almond in the NTM line really works for me.

I know not for all, I have to accept that.

The key with the NTM mask...as with the Salerm WG Mask...you don't need to use a lot for it to be effective. I think users mess up when they put too much on. Sometimes it actually makes sense to use as directed on the label.

HTH. :)

Thanks! I'll have to give it a try.:grin: Salerm's Mask is good but it is ssssooooooooo expensive. I mix it with other conditioners to stretch it.

That's what I did recently.....mixed it with my staple moisture conditioners (humecto/ntm) at least get the benefit of it...

It hurt me to pay 14 for it (but at least that included tax. I think the lowest I can find it is for 12 bucks..which would bring it to 13).

It definitely is a hair luxury. I could get two NTM masks for the cost of it.

Let know how the NTM mask works for you...and even...give the DDC a try again mixed with it.;)
 
I am definitely a 4a/b type. My hair is coarse and dry but I try to take good care of it by wearing protective styles.
