~ FEBRUARY 2012 HITS & MISSES ~

@IDareT'sHair I was ready to dislike when I first received it, the consistency seemed to light and liquidy to moisturize or detangle my hair efficiently, but I was so pleasantly surprised! I can't keep my hands out of my hair, it's so soft! But, I will have to make sure this isn't just a first and only time moment.

Wooooww. I haven't been seriously tempted to order products in a while but this ingredient list is crazy..
 
Misses:
Darcy’s Botanicals Pumpkin Seed Conditioner (simply put, this sucked)
Sweet Cocoa Bean Curl Smoothing Cream (this stuff made my hair ridiculously hard)


VIP Hits:
Darcy’s Botanicals Daily Leave-in (the best leave-in I’ve ever encountered)
Elasta QP Creme Moisturizing Shampoo (my will stipulates that I am to be buried with this product)
Elucence Moisture Acidifying Shampoo (a very good, non-stripping, highly concentrated pH-balancing & chelating shampoo)
 
Hit: Hairitage Hydration! So far I've used the silk and aloe cream, happy hemp, horsetail hair butter, and I got a sample of the sweet butter pomade. The pomade smells exactly like Oyin's burnt sugar pomade and works like it too (and I LOVE the burnt sugar pomade). I rollerset my hair with the horsetail and silk aloe. It can be a little oily together but I was experimenting. Either way my hair felt soooooft. I'm in love. I'm currently in a sew in and I moisturize my leave out with the silk and aloe. Next week I'll use the happy hemp, lol.

Continued hit: my water, aloe vera juice, and jbco mix. My hair truly loves aloe. Also, since my sew in I've added sulfur to it. I think I can go ahead and add sulfur as a hit as well. I got a deep trim in late October and I swear my hair is looking like it's catching up. I've added sublimed sulfur to my bee mine mixture as well. We'll see.

Miss: Damn near spending a good chunk of my tax return on products I'd like to experiment on (after I paid sallie mae of course). I'm perusing shescentit and shi naturals as I type....
