[curlyhersheygirl]

Hey Divas
Lets close out 2017 strong.
List what's working and what's not for this month.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

HIT:
Ayurvedic Powders and Oils

 

[Evolving78]

Hit
CON 7-1 leave-in
Silk Elements Cholesterol
CON oil moisturizer lotion

No misses so far.

 

[von rose]

Miss:

Dudley DRC - more neutral on this but it was too sticky and runny. And definitely not as effective as olaplex (which I can't find anymore).

Hit:
Customer service of both NaturelleGrow and Curls&Potions. They da real MVPs

 

[nymane]

HIT
Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock Instant Shine & Repair Treatment

Joico does it again.....just amazing.

 

[KinksAndInk]

Continued hit:
-KindredButters mango & pumpkin cream deep conditioner. I don’t think anybody really listens to me when I talk about the amount of slip and moisture I get from this DC. I can skip the detangler and the leave-in. It’s love, light and unicorn tears in a jar.

[shasha8685]

Hit
Silicon Mix Bambu (my hair responded really well to this!)

I’m happy somebody listening. I be rollin my eyes so hard at folks asking for good moisturizing DCs. Like come on sis. I know you see KB being mentioned all up and down these LHCF streets. You can lead dry hair to water but you can’t make it drink.

I got 4 backups on the way.

 

[InBloom]

Hit

Mixing my semi-perm color with conditioner and processing that way.

 

[Platinum]

Miss: Coconut oil (or maybe just the one I bought last month). It made my scalp itchy and my locs "crunchy".

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Hit: APB Hair Lotion
Although the consistency is looser, the performance is still the same: super soft hair.

I hear you sis! Since she's having another sale, I might try it based on your recommendation .

 

[kxlot79]

Is it cold where you live? Coconut oil can get “solid” in your hair in cooler weather. And if it was itchy, maybe you have an allergy? Ever apply it elsewhere?

Mega Hit: Cream Of Nature “Snot” Gel
I was never one for edge control but this stuff has me wanting to do some styling a la FKA Twigs. And I’m a type 4!

I live in Florida . I haven’t used coconut oil in a while. I don’t recall having a reaction in the past from it. I bought this one from an Indian grocery store.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Continued New Hit:
Naturelle Grow's Hibiscus & Honey L-I (got this on a recent swap and I love it)

 

[Lissa0821]

Major Miss: Aphogee Balancing moisturizer conditioner. It was awesome with my relaxed hair but does absolutely nothing for my natural hair. Into the trash it will go today.

 

[LuvlyRain3]

Revisited Hit
-Hydratherma naturals Amino Plus Protein- I forgot how great this stuff is. My hair is so strong after I use this and the slip is amazing. Gotta keep this in rotation

Continued Hits
-My aloe vera prepoo mix- everything my hair and sensitive scalp needs
-TGIN honey miracle hair mask

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Hits: Jakeala's Silky Hair Oil as a prepoo
Kinky Tresses Coconut Mango Butter (this stuff is fabulous, now I want to try the entire line)

 

[IDareT'sHair]

MAJOR MISS:
Stalking U.S.PS Tracking Info!....

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Revisited Hit

@LuvlyRain3
Agreed!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Hits: Jakeala's Silky Hair Oil as a prepoo

@NaturallyATLPCH
Love This!

But never thought of using it as a Pre-Poo?

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Hit: Black Castor and Flaxseed Oil Eco Style Gel. Mayunnnnn! Has my cottony 4a hair defined and so pretty!

Miss: Buying two plastic dressers to clean up and organize my hair products, oils, powders, and tools and it barely making a dent.

I just bought a bookcase for this purpose. Good luck! lol

@NaturallyATLPCH
Love This!

Yes it works really well. My hair was very soft and pliable. Coconut oil is the first ingredient so I figured why not?

I am going to order an ayurvedic coconut oil from Lakshmi's Cupboard eventually to prepoo with. In the meantime, I'll just use my ayurvedic things around here.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Oh, I forgot another hit:
Mane Choice Ancient Egyptian DC

This performed exactly as I thought it would. My hair was soft and balanced. I like DCs like that. Reminds me of the APB Not Easily Broken DC.
