Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter
Carol's Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey (extra points for best smell!)

Elasta QP Mango Butter (I give up...I've had it for about 1 year and my hair just isn't responding the same way it did when I first started using it)

Beyond the Zone Split End Mender
Surge 14 (I see an improvement in terms of strength/shedding, but not a lot of growth...but then again, it's only been a little under 2 weeks)

No water in the ORS Jojoba Oil, but it does have some nice ingredients. It's made of soybean oil, cyclomethicone, lanolin, coconut oil, paraffin, castor oil, jojoba oil, isopropyl palmitate, fragrance, propyl paraben, Vitamin E, and cetyl alcohol. It's very light and melts into my hair. I like it.

Got the name wrong but I can't edit the post so I have to give a

to Fantasia IC Nighttime Moisturizer.

Bought it a loooong time ago (years), thought I'd try it recently, and it is now headed to the waste basket.

How did the Roux Mendex help your hair? I am a 4a/b, relaxed. Thanks!

Re: December Hits and Misses

miss: redken active express conditioner

 

[MissB]

Re: December Hits and Misses

MissVee,

I use Affirm 5N1 before and after a relaxer and I use the Mendex in between if my hair needs a little strength. The Mendex makes it feel really strong and soft and it smells good also. If you follow this up with Porosity Control Conditioner, it's a nice combination.

Re: December Hits and Misses

MissB,

So it is a protein conditioner, like Aubrey's GPB?

 

[MissB]

Re: December Hits and Misses

I consider it a mild protein conditioner.
