The only thing new I tried in Feb was a MISS: Kiehl's Lecithin and Coconut Enriched Hair Masque with Panthenol for Dry Hair. It was just okay. No magic like other products.

I have such a hit and miss relationship with Kiehl's. I love the Conditioner Rinse with Coconut and of course Silk Groom.

This month, I am going to try the Deep Conditioning Protein Pak, probably towards the end of the month. I broke down and got it after wanting it for so long. Please let there be magic!

Let me know how the Deep Conditioning Protein Pak works out for you. I used their Lecithin and Coconut Enriched Hair Masque with Panthenol for Dry Hair a few years back. I get the same results with Miss Key 10 en 1 (minus the coconut). The consistency is pretty much the same (very thick).

Re: February Hits and Misses

Just to let you all know that after Chaya's review on the Joico Intensive Moisture Tx, I emailed the company for a sample. Well, today I received a FULL SIZED BOTTLE!!!!! I couldn't believe it....what a treat! I will be sending them a flowery email thanking them for the gift. It's nice to know that true customer service is alive and well...I'll also post results on the board soon!

Miss: Joico Intensive Moisturizer

...I so wanted to love this, but it did nothing for me. I had to re-wash and follow up with my beloved Humecto. It will be going back to Trade Secrets.

Hits:
Pantene R&N wrap&setting lotion

I tried Keraphix by Nexxus and I love it love it love it. I love the smell and the fact that it's a reconstructor. Definitely going to be a staple.

Lukewarm responses for:

Neutrogena Triple Moisture Silk Touch Leave In.

I am just not raving about it the way many of you are. While I liked the way it softened my new growth, I was not impressed with the way it performed on the hair shaft. So, I will continue my search for a more compatible leave-in product.

Redken Extreme CAT.

Essence raved about this product. I was lead to believe that it was a strong reconstructor, like Joico K-Pak Reconstructor. For the price, I regret having purchased the Redken Extreme CAT instead of the Joico K-Pak Reconstructor. That's what happens when one does not carefully read the list of ingredients. I did in fact purchase a tube of Joico K-Pak Reconstructor today. Trade Secret had its buy one, get one at 50% sale on Saturday (3/5) on Joico K-Pak. I think this was what my hair needed, and I think that it alleviated my ends breakage dilemma. My hair looks fuller, and feels stronger.

Elasta QP Mango Butter.

I even went on-line to purchase this product. Again, I cannot share in the rave fest on this one. I actually knew better when I purchased the Mango Butter: my hair really does not respond to so-called natural oils.

So, I guess I will be sending the Redken to my friend in Boston. LOL! She is the main beneficiary of my product misses.

I love my new, gigantic silk scarf and oversized silk hair bonnet from tenderheaded.com! These will last me a long time.

Elasta QP mango butter is NOT natural. Real mango butter is better. I ordered a free sample from Elasta QP and new right away that it was not going to work for me. I use real mango butter instead and put it in a double boiler to soften it up. Something that works even better is shea butter. I have a huge tub of that at home and once I am finished with my mango butter I will not be buying anymore. But look at the ingredients list for the EQPMB. MB is way, way down the list.

Herbal Essence Style Refreshing Mist: My hair likes to pick up smells and since I cant wash my hair everyday, a few spritz with this mist make my hair smell like i just shampooed. It smells really good.
