~*~February 2009~*~ Hits & Misses

[shtow]

HIT: GVP paul mitchell super skinny serum. I used this to flat iron and my hair was so silky!! I have also been using this every night on my flat ironed hair and my hair is swangy and silky. Everyone around me has noticed the difference.

Miss: Aphogee 2-min Keratin Reconstructor

It left my hair hard--just like the ORS Pak did.

Oldies but goodies

1)Lekair Frenchee's Super Gro- This stuff made hair thick in one week and it made my new growth sprout more, what I mean is the growth wave is deeper and longer.

2)Lekair Plus Cholesterol

So far Proclaim conditioner is a hit. It thick like a lotion which is what I wanted because it's winter. I don't think I'll be using this in the summer.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Hits:

Henna Treatment- more like a revisited hit will be doing these 1 a month.
V05 Strawberry conditioner after the henna treatment- my hair felt like I DC, I would have never thought V05 could do such a thing.Now I know why sooo many pple like to co wash with this. Now either the ingredients changed for the better or my hairs health is really showing. On hot summer days I like to rinse my hair inbtwn hair days and this will my conditioner rinse of choice.
Alter Ego garlic conditioner- I love this stuff it makes my strands very smooth, and keep them seperated (hard to explain), shedding is down to very few if any.

Hits...so far
Pantene Nature Fusion Smooth Vitality Shampoo and Conditioner.
Smells really good and I don't say this about Pantene products. I didn't feel slip, slip but my hair felt really soft and smooth after it dry and I'm 9 weeks post relaxer.

Turned out to be a miss..
ORS Lock and Twist gel..drying for me

 

[HoneyDew]

Sign O' the Times.

I remember when this thread used to be 10 pages by the end of the first week of the month.

HIT:

Fractionated Coconut oil. I don't really care for extra virgin coconut oil (the smell, the fact that I have to rub it to melt it, etc). So I got this one to try.

I like it. Very light. No scent. And cheap!

Revisited HIT: Praital Silk Worm Moisturizing Cream. I put this down for a long time but pre-poo'd under the dryer with this a few nights ago and my hair came out strong and soft. Love silk protein!!!

Hit: Avalon Organic Botanicals Lavender Nourishing Conditioner. I picked this up at TJ's a couple of months ago and really loved it. It has Beta Glucan (some kind of oat nutrition) and Babassu Oil. Love this conditioner!

I agree with this. I am jealous that it does not work for me like it does for others.

Yea, I was really excited too but I dunno, it didn't do anything, it just sat on my hair all white and thick, and my hair isn't hard to detangle, it's a few textures but not hard to handle
