Keracare Humecto
Phyto (tentative)

Misses
Surge on length of the hair! Be warned! Tangles galore! Breakage! Still good on scalp tho'.
Elasta QP Recovery
 
Re: February Hits and Misses

Hit: Honey hair soy hair milk ( A Myhoneychild.com product)...

I just tried it today. It added a lot of moisture to my hair, defined the texture in my new growth, and it smells really nice - like a dessert made with honey.

No misses yet
 
Re: February Hits and Misses

Hit:

Silk Elements Revive & Restore Hair Mayonnaise

I applied this and left it on overnight with a plastic cap on it. I repeated this process for 7 days straight. The shine on my hair is incredible! My hair is very pliable and elastic. I needed a deep conditioner to go with my Elucence.

Jury still out:

Dr. Miracle's Damaged Hair Medicated Treatment. It feels great on my scalp but I can't see where it really did much for my hair.

Re: February Hits and Misses

hits:

curly buttercreme (by miss jessie)--i use it daily to hydrate my hair when its fully airdried not to attain curls...it works very well for me but that peppermint needs to be thrown out the mix lol...i like this thick stuff alot :)

suave milk and honey conditioner-protein and deep conditioning
suave coconut conditioner-protien and deep conditioning

white rain jasmin conditioner--used as a leave in...i like it most because it doesnt take forever to dry...works great on my son's 3b hair for leave in...less tangles and less frizz for both of us
spectrum's organic coconut oil--used in a rosemary spritz i concocted...i dont smell any coconut but its cool...maybe my nose it broke lol.it works fine

peppermint eo--the stank is out this world and makes me want to hurl...im putting this in the hits box cuz it works but i think it may be givin me a rash or maybe i put in too much


revisited--
let's jam extreme hold gel--ok last mth i was being a genius and tryna use it on wet hair...so now i let my hair fully dry and slap it on..it takes a lot and i go thru a jar in a few days juss for the front of my head...but now its a keeper

rosemary eo--still does the job...partnered with safflower and coconut oil and some purified water and peppermint eo

purchased but not used yet--
suave green apple conditioner
shea butter with chocolate and cocoa--i didnt buy this concoction on purpose i wanted plain shea butter but got shipped this i think cuz she was forever late in sending it off...i'll keep it tho
black soap with some chocolate--smells like my other black soap so i'll keep it too came from the same joint as the shea butter... www.everydayhenna.com but purchased thru amazon

jury's still out

white rain citrus--i only used it once but it was aight

smooth n shine gel--bought cuz the rest of the let's jam on the shelf looked different colors and textures so i didnt want to chance it..it seems pretty good

curly pudding (by miss jessie)--it took a whole lot of product to make my hair shrink less..then it became crunchy unlike the label says and gooey at the same time...i have half a jar left and will pull it out later on in the year....it didnt take forever to dry for me like most says it does....i have given up on curl defining products...they juss wont work for me...shrinkage will win everytime i believe cuz i condition alot and its super elastic

After seeing your post, I had to edit my post up above. I purchased some when I went to Sally Beauty Supply a couple of weeks ago. I used it back then, and I'm glad I still like the way it does my hair.
