I didn't like that one too much either. I am trying to figure out a way to use it.

Sally's carries Vitapointe.

I remember I used to keep a bottle of Kemi in my purse for my personal aromatherapy moments when I'd get stressed at work. It's time for us to be reunited...

Thanks, I found it at Sally's today.

Hits: J/A/S/O/N Sea Kelp conditioner and poo' and Curls Whipped Cream

Misses: none yet

co-signing. that conditioner does stuff to my hair that no other conditioner has come close to doing!

 

[HoneyDew]

HIT:
BREAKTHRU Fortifying Moisturizing Shampoo - I am VERY impressed with this conditioning detangling shampoo. Everyone told me that it detangles and softens like CON but w/o the buildup - THEY WERE RIGHT.

 

[Glitter]

hits: [1] Tresemme anti-breakage detangle leave in spray. It gives an intense little blast of moisture that makes it easier to detangle my natural hair. [2] sunsilk conditioner. my hair really likes this!! not that expensive and makes a great conditioner for cowashes. [3] nioxin pills. i've been taking them for awhile and i think they have really helped me grow in some bald patches.

misses: none so far

on the fence: NTM leave in, sunsilk leave in, Dove intensive moisture conditioner...i haven't used any of these long enough to form an opinion.

 

[Kurlee]

Another Hit:

Jessicurl Too Shea, left my hair butter soft!!

 

[Wildchild453]

I have some of this that I bought earlier this year for braids that I never got. I think this would be good as a braid spray and I am excited to try it after I get some this weekend.

I have my hair in box braids so I've been using it every 2 days since it is a treatment. All seems to be goin well so far

 

[Healthb4Length]

Miss Jessie's Buttercream-HIT!!!! It's been four days since I put this on my hair and my hair is still moist, lite and fluffy! Not heavy and greasy!

Jilbere de Paris Tourmaline flat iron--My hair is so straight right now! I don't get that burnt smell either and it's light weight and easy to use.

ETA-ORS Replenishing Deep Treatment in the bottle!!!! A huge hit! THe packets were not as effective for me, I gave the bottle a try and I love it! It was thick and rich and my hair was soft and had tons of slip...I fell in love with this product all over again!!!!

The baggie method: Revitalizes and gives ends a deep conditioning pick me up.

Revisted hit:
LeKair Cholesterol Plus: This conditioner has a permanent place in my siggy, although I must admit, I'd gotten distracted and have strayed to other products. I deep conditioned with it and fell in love all over again.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Hits:

Elasta QP Scalp Stimulating Shampoo and Condtioner.

[amina kamal]

Hits: Aveda DR treatment, Henna from hennaforhair.com, AO Honeysuckle Condish

Miss: Amla oil (full of mineral oil), Mumtaz Henna (did not mix smooth, did not get same results as with the other henna)

 

[gymfreak336]

Hits: Rusk smoother leave in- goes on smooth and once I let it soak in, my strands are much softer, great smell too

Aphogee- I tried this treatment last night. My ends are colored so they are prone to dryness and breakage. I decided to give this treatment a go and my hair feels 10x better, I don't know why I waited so long to try it.

ORS Creamy Olive oil shampoo- This baby moisturizes and detangles like a charm, plus it removes mineral buildup which really gave my hair a boost. It will be a part of my regular rotation

 

[prettywhitty]

Hit: baggying my ends at night. I can't believe I waited so long to try this.
I baggy with that heavy cream Qhemet makes mixed with ORS olive oil.

Another hit:ORS creamy aloe shampoo. It really makes my hair soft and it gets rid of any leftover calcium deposits I may have after using ORS relaxer.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

ITA with Letita, get in your car and go back right now, MK Star.


Hits:
Aubrey Organics GPB conditioner- This stuff is amazing!!
Redken Heat Glide

Revisited Hit:
VO5 Tea Therapy Conditioner- This cheapie makes an excellent cream rinse for in shower detangling. I love the ingriedients and the smell.

I had this in my basket and then I put it back I just got the Hemp Conditioner and shampoo from Sally's so I should at least use that first... But the ingredients looked incredible. Lord help me to resist the conditioner and shampoo!!
