Miss:

Nacidit Olive Oil Conditioner: It left my hair feeling too coated. It didn't moisturize to me. I had this same problem w/Alter Ego Garlic Treatment. The Alter Ego did not stop my shedding and I had that same silicone/coated feeling. Are all dominican products like this?

Hits:

Redken Hair Cleansing Cream - Smells good and didn't leave my hair feeling stripped.

Mastercuts C-Pak Treatment - It smells yummy, moisturized my hair, gave me lots of slip and softness and the ingredients are pretty good.

Regis Design Line Olive Oil Hair Masque - Leaves my hair feeling strong, soft and moisturized. Also provides good slip.

Aveda Sap Moss Concentrate - Not too big on the smell but it did leave my hair feeling moisturized before I shampoo

Aveda Brilliant Universal Styling Creme - This is AWESOME!! It leaves my hair feeling soft, smooth and shiny and a little goes a long way.

Undecided:
NTM Shampoo - It felt nice when rinsing it out but it seemed like it left a coating on my hair. Will try again after I clarify.

Paul Mitchell Supercharged Moisturizer - Used this before but I couldn't remember if I liked it or not. Tried it recently and this also felt like there was a coating on my hair. It made my hair feel soft but the coated feeling, I don't like.

Naturelle Hemp Hydrating Shampoo - This is okay. Smells nice but at this point, it doesn't really do anything for me. Probably will return to the store.

I really like the Nacidit Olive Oil rinse. I use it after I rinse out my DC and while I'm detangling in the shower. I'm deep into my stretch and it helped me comb out my hair (even through the NG) without tangling.

Really? I love the smell of this. So, how do you use yours?

I just use it daily on my hair before I tie it down at night.

I guess I did not DISLIKE the smell really. It just was not something that I fell in love with. I prefer my hair smelling like my shampoo and conditioner. This cream I can smell all the time and even on my scarf when I put it on. I have gotten used to it and I actualyl like it now. My BF has been raving on how good my hair smells lately, it has to be this Aveda cream he is talking about.

Okay, props to Navs as well!!!

Ooooh....I just copped a bottle of the new V05 Tea Therapy Vanilla Mint Tea Clarifying Conditioner....

I said why not....and I'm kinda feeling the smell.

Dove moisture mist-waste of money, my hair may be too thick. It was like spraying with water.

It hasn't been doing anything for me either. Maybe I need to clarify...but I doubt it and my hair is not thick at all!

I thought I was the only who didn't like this stuff. My hair responds better to creamy moisturizers. Ahh well I was hopeful. Good thing it was cheap, I tossed it.

SAME HERE!! I cannot use that stuff!!! You are so right - just like water. My hair laughed at that stuff and told me to keep it real.

Ooo, i will have to try this.

 

[baglady215]

About the Dove, I didn't like it on dry hair, but it has MEGA detangling properties on wet hair. That itself may make me repurchase.

 

[HoneyDew]

Oh...no...

 

[baglady215]

HIT: Biolage Leave In Tonic - found it on clearance for 50% off at Happy Harry's (a local drugstore). I used it on dry hair tonight before my braid out and it made my hair very soft.
