~~*February 2008-Hits and Misses*~~

[wantlonghairagain]

I have not seen the products yet. I would love to see the ingredients. My gut feeling is that it will be crap and they need to stick with hair bonnets. But that is just me.

That was just wrong!!! But probably right.

BIG HIT

HE Long Term Relationship conditioner - great conditioner. My hair came out detangled, soft, smooth, silky, and smellin' sweet!! As soon as it touched my hair the first time, I knew.

 

[Namilani]

MISSES: The Nexxus Phyto Organics line (Humectin, Omistyler, The Arts, Babassu Mud...) minus the NEUTRAL Theratin Shampoo!

 

[HoneyDew]

Hit:

Activate Hydrating Conditioner, Repair Mask and Straightening Cream - GREAT products. Are they discontinuing them(got them from big lots)? I hope not.

Miss:
Activate Hydrating Shampoo - Nothing wrong but not very hydrating - medicore. Not good for hard water users (I should have looked at the ingredients - my bad!)

Hit turned miss:
After about 6 months of using it, CHI Silk Infusion - I don't think i like the way my hair feels with this. It is TOO soft, if that is possible. Something has not been right with my hair and I took out this product and it feels better over all. I will continue to use Fantasia IC Straightening on its on. I like the way my hair feels after using that alone.

Hits

- Aveda Damage Remedy Line (Poo, Con, Reconstructor)
Just used this on my 12 week post hair. It's like butter, I swear.
-CHI Silk Infusion
Yes, I'm mad late, but I just got a sample from natieya (THANKS GIRL!). Once again, has my hair like butter. It's awesome. I just couldn't get these kinds of results with Fantasia IC Serum. I think I'm in love.

 

[Namilani]

HITS: Redken All Soft Shampoo, Heavy Cream, and Conditioner. My hair is soft, silky, moist, smelling great ... I wonder if I'll have to always use all three together to keep these a hit, though. I know for sure I love the shampoo! I see liter bottles of the shampoo and conditioner, I need to find the Heavy Cream in one. I'll be back tomorrow with Anti-Snap's verdict. Too, it's a hit that I got to try these all for $9.95!!!!

Alrighty, I'm off to check out info on other Redken products !

Where is everyone getting their Aveda from??

Where is everyone getting their Aveda from??

Whenever I buy any, I get it right from the Aveda store. There is one near me. You can order online as well. If you go to their site, you can do a search for places near to shop.

Big Hit - Schwarzkopf Oil Nutritive Repair Butter with Argan and Shea Oil. It's a rinse out treatment and lists that it's "anti split ends" on the jar. It smells wonderful and it leaves my hair soooo soft. I love this stuff.

 

[nomadpixi]

Big Hits:
Silk Amino Acid and Honeyquat from Lotioncrafters added to cheapy cholesteral-type deep conditioner. My hair was breaking AND shedding before my touch up, and this stopped it.

I used SSA straight up as a spray the night before my relaxer. Nicer results with my texlax. Also deep conditioned with both after my touch up, let it air dry with a silk scarf on, then added a bit of parachute coconut oil. Talk about bling! I've created a nice daily spray with a few drops of each in a spray bottle with aloe, castor oil and water. Between this and MTG, I should have healthy APL by June-even in this dry *** weather! (yeah! just maintenance after that, no BSL for me. Too much hair: I got a pea head)

Being this far away, I can no longer afford to be a PJ, so I had to REEEEEALLY think hard about whether this would work or not. It was SOOOOO worth it!!! I finally love my hair!

 

[morehairplease]

Hits:
Sunsilk Anti Esponja with Avocado (left my hair very soft and smells great)

Shikakai Powder (leaves my hair silky)
Castor Oil & Coconut Oil mixed together (not greasy, great oil !)
Aritha Hair Soap (leaves hair clean and soft)

[Sunshine0801]

HIT: CON Shampoo. I used it years ago when I had a relaxer and tried it again today. My hair was clean but did not feel stripped or dry.

HIT:

Went to Sally's and picked up Silk Element's Revive & Restore Moisturizing Hair Lotion and I put it on my new growth while wet and it soften it right up without feeling oily.
