Continued hit: APB Hair Cream
New Hit: Cleansing frequently. I cleanse three days a week and have seen rapid growth with my short hair than my long hair. I did not get this much growth twist bunning and cleansing once a week.
So protective styling and not cleansing my hair frequently was doing nothing for my hair. Go figure lol...

I could wash my hair every day if I didn’t have to deal with tangles. My hair loves it. Only way I can get away with it is mini box braids. The take down is hell though.
 
New hits:
- Acupuncture for thinning hair. I'm 9 treatments in & the proof is in the pictures. I've received more growth in a month than I had all year using other methods.

- Onion juice. Three weeks in with a smell but it's proven to be very effective. It will be the stink I will live with.

- Henna Sooq Sweet Honey conditioner. My hair loves this product and I love the smell. This week I think I found the perfect way to use this product. Fully saturate your hair with CP tea and warm the product between your hands before applying to hair.

Cont'd Hit:

Donna Marie Super Butter Creme - this butter still does not disappoint me. I have tried others after using this one and I still go back to it because it really leaves my hair super moisturized.

She Butter - I like this whipped with other beneficial oils for sealing my hair and ends. It really keeps my ends from coiling around itself into single strand knots. It's a keeper.

Yaaaaasssss! I really love this conditioner as well. I am out of it but it is a replenishable (I just made this up) deep conditioner for sure. I even like it as a conditioner to mix with my prepoo oil - yum yum :lick:.

Love it too but the Sally's version! Is it really a DC cause the ingredients say leave on for 1-3 minutes and rinse. It's funny cause I have loved this conditioner for years and never read the directions until this past weekend. I always used it as a DC until this past weekend.
 
Hit
Eden’s Bodyworks co-wash cutting down to using shampoo 1-2 weeks, so using this in between.

DE express almond butter conditioner works as soon as you put it in.

QB morniga tree detangling ghee (great leave-in, dc/rinse out conditioner, moisturizer)

Taliah WJ kinky wavy natural herbal style and shine (use it as a pomade or twist cream) downside it has nothing but glycerin based ingredients in it.

Somewhat of a Miss
Mane Choice Egyptian 14k gold gel. That stuff is super sticky. Have to use a lot of water with this product, but it works good twisting. I was using it to lay my hair down. It caused dryness and flakes the next day.
 
Hit
Alba Botanica Hawaiian Conditioner - my hair was feeling a bit drier than I liked after the protein treatment I did on Saturday so I decided to try this out. Love the fact that I can find it easily in stores and hair is soft and moisturized after using it.

I've been using Curls Blueberry Hair Mask and it doesn't seem to do much for my hair. The only time my hair has been ok after using it had been when I use one of my rinse out conditioners before it and even then it doesn't add to the results. My hair always ends up feeling dry when I use it as my sole conditioner. I'll be really glad when I finish using it up.

It is a deep conditioner. Mine is pretty thick so I would not call it a rinse out conditioner. I do use it mixed with my oils to prepoo with sometimes though because it gives good slip :yep:.

SM Marshmallow & Blueberries kids 2n1 Shampoo/Conditioner, it cleansed J's hair but it felt really waxy but creamy on his hair strands. I'll use it up but its not a repurchase. Might use it as body wash for him.

Sorta Hit

SM Marshmallow & Blueberries kids 2n1 Detangling leave in conditioner, on wet soaking wet hair ( in the tub), it was not detangling AT ALL. Im thinking its going to slide thru his strands and boom, NOPE! . It works best for him on hair that's been dampened with water first and then massaged it, Its a kinda thick creamy type lotion almost but hard to get out of the bottle. not a repurchase but I do like it on his hair dry/dampish

I didn't use enough water with it I guess, so I had a setback. So now it just sits in my hair drawer smelling nice. It's super sticky. But, I'm glad it's HG for so many folks.

Yeah it give you a lot of shine, but it will turn on you without water! Lol i will keep it though. I might used it right after I wash my hair and left it wet, or use it on my DD. I bought it for her anyway.

I agree. This is why I stopped fooling with her. If I want her deep treatment, I will order from Naturally Curly during a sale.

Chile I thought I got lucky on that deal! I was strolling on instagram and saw the sale. I thought this might be a replacement/dupe for vanilla silk. Girl, I was happy until I saw that darn shipping! Like really?

Yes it has gotten worse over the years but the USPS shipping hike made it worse.
It is an excellent DC though. Grab it from NC when they have a sale, at least you can combine it with other things to get free shipping or reasonable shipping.
