Dominican product that left U saying,\"That\'s all?\"

I know that when most of us hear "dominican product" we are expecting the second coming. Well sometimes i notice these products just dont deliver the "Ooompph" we think we are gonna get. For me this product would be Capilo Milk and Honey Shampoo and also the Capilo Milk and Honey Conditioner....i mean they got my hair clean but the Milk and Honey shampoo left me in a world of tangles and if it had not been for my CON (Cream of Nature)i would probably still be untangling my hair a month later.

So after all the hype what Dominican products have left you saying "That's All???" -- jainygirl

I've read / heard that most Dominican shampoos can be pretty harsh on the hair. I stay far away from Dominican shampoos.

So far I'm not liking Apretadora. I've used it twice and have renamed it "Tangles in a Jar".

I'll give it one more chance...

Salerm, did nothing for my hair. First left it thick and nasty so I used less and then my hair still came out the same as usual. it was soft but my hair is always soft and bouncy. It had no sheen or anything.

@SG: I haven't figured Apretadora out yet either. I'm not sure what it's doing. It wasn't recommended here, I just bought it on a whim, so I bought an experimental size. I won't repurchase. I didn't get tangles though, it actually straightens my hair a bit, like protein does. You're using it as a pre-treatment and pooing afterwards, right?

@Allandra: I wondered about the poos, b/c I noticed that the Nacidit poo gets hair so clean, it's like using a clarifier if I suds up twice. Once seems to be okay. It didn't have SLS or any sulfates so I thought it was ok. I'll continue to use even more sparingly.

Salerm isn't Dominican, but gets lumped in so I'll discuss it too. I hate to Salerm bash, b/c so many people here love it, but I missed the fireworks too, esp w/Salerm 21. Maybe if I had used it before Lacio Lacio, but Lacio puts it totally to shame. It doesn't matter what conditioner I use, if I use Lacio as a leave-in my hair stays soft & moisturized. The Salerm Wheatgerm mask was just alright for me too. Not bad, but not stellar. I'm going to try the Nacidit Wheatgerm, b/c it's a fraction of the cost & my other Nacidit products wowed the heck out of me

!

Yes. But both times I left it on longer the recommended 10 minutes. I'm going to follow the directions to a "T" the next time.

Do you cover your hair with a plastic cap? I do. The directions don't say if you are supposed to use a cap, sit under a dryer, etc.

Re: Dominican product that left U saying,\"That\'s all?\"

They must have changed the label b/c mine has no detailed instructions

. It just says apply from root to tip, then rinse. Follow w/a gentle shampoo. My Dominican BSS owner told me to use it for 20 mins., so that's what I did (maybe longer one time, but results were the same... whatever that means!

). I didn't use a plastic cap or heat w/it. I just slapped it on and put my hair up in a clip so everything wasn't green!!!

Haven't tried too many but Lafier conditioner was wack. I have far better results with my gallon of Nature's Advantage for CO washes...It cost $5.99 for the whole gallon!

10 en 1 - made my hair kinda stiff. I think it has keratin in it or something.

Wheat germ rinse - was just ok

I saw the 10 en 1 rinse at the BSS the other day. I may try it in the future.

 

[sassygirl125]

Re: Dominican product that left U saying,\"That\'s all?\"

My label is the same as yours. I won't cover my hair next time. And I know what you mean about everything being green! My shower curtains look terrible after I use that stuff!

I'm not so crazy about the 10 en 1 either... but I LOOOVE the way it smells!!

I treat it like a mild protein, and follow up with a moisturizing conditioner.

Re: Dominican product that left U saying,\"That\'s all?\"

My hair was not impressed with the Tropical Avocado and Tropical Negra these conditioners did not even make my hair soft.
The Nacidit Olive Oil conditioner is my favorite and my hair
loves it.
I just tried the Capilo Sole & Cinnamon this is definitely a keeper too.
The Toque Emergenica gave pretty good slip too.

Re: Dominican product that left U saying,\"That\'s all?\"

Dagnabit then that was it Lindy! I didn't follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. I don't know why I was expecting super slip from it. Your right, it does smell heavenly!

Re: Dominican product that left U saying,\"That\'s all?\"

I was not overly impressed with the Nacidit olive oil conditioner, but I love the rinse.

I treat 10 en 1 has a regular ole conditioner. Since it doesn't give me the slip I really like, I use a rinse afterwards.

Nacidit Avocado conditioner--- It did absolutely nothing for my hair

Re: Dominican product that left U saying,\"That\'s a

Salerm leave-in and Salerim Wheat Germ stuff.... The wheat germ stuff made my hair hard! and the leave-in feels like i'm putting body lotion on my hair. It does ab-so-lut-ly nothing for my hair!!

Yes I do the same thing except I use it as a mild protein deep conditioner and sit under a warm dryer for 15-20 with a plastic cap on. When I rinse it out in the shower, I put the Redken Smooth down conditioner on it for about 5 minutes while Im washing out in the shower. I love the stuff.

However, I am TOTALLY unimpressed by Rysell tropical conditioner. That stuff does nothing for me. Maybe Im not using it right. My 10 en 1 and my Redken smooth down butter treat puts that Rysell to shame!
