Hits:

Shea Moisture Purifying Masque: I hate the smell of this. It smells like artificial bananas and makes me want to gag BUT I love the texture of it and the way it gives me slip. I wasn't too impressed when I first washed my hair out but as I was waiting to put my bantu knots in I was in love with how soft my hair was without anything in it.

On the fence:

Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie: It doesn't have a strong scent to me. It makes my hair pop and my hair soft enough. I need to try it out a lot more before I can say either way but it's not bad.

Hit:

Nairobi Humecta-Sil Conditioner

It gave moisture and softness with a bit of a protein kick and a RIDICULOUS amount of slip. I need to find a vat of this stuff posthaste.

New Hit:

Adore Semi-Permanent Hair Color in Black Velvet

This is the best rinse I've ever used. It deposited a rich, shiny black tint that didn't leave my hair with a protein-ish feeling; it also didn't leave behind hard staining.

Shea Moisture Purifying Masque: I hate the smell of this. It smells like artificial bananas and makes me want to gag BUT I love the texture of it and the way it gives me slip.

I added raw honey, pureed bananas, JBCO, coconut milk, jojoba oil, VCO, Vit. E to a couple spoonfuls and it really toned down the smell.

Hit:
Caruso roller, used them for the first time today. loved the curls.

Silk Elements Megasilk Heat Protection in Olive Oil, Sprayed it in my hands and applied to my ends, still got a greasy looking head of hair. I will try it again on wet hair if it doesn't work it is going back to Sally's.

Hits
Giovanni Smooth As Silk Xtrem Protein Hair Infusion - Does everything it says it does!

Misses
1. Conair Xtreme Instant Heat Multisized Hot Rollers - Everything is great about this accept the clips! They leave really ugly creases and as far as I can see there are no other options to secure the rollers.

2. Shea Moisture Deep Conditioning Mask - I saw no benefits from this at all. Total waste of money.

3. Banana Clips (b4 my hair cut) - Rips my hair out where the two pieces of the clip are attached .

[Amerie123]

HIT:
ACV Rinse
Hask Placenta plus Olive Oil Leave in Conditioner *GASPS...just did a search and read it causes health issues; off to do more research :-(*

RE-MISS:
Coconut Oil (I wanted to like this in my hair so bad, but it makes a good skin oil).

 

[Tene]

Hit:

Argan Oil
Bask Java Bean & Honey Hair Balm
Bask Palm Tapioca Deluxe Hair Cream

 

[jareya]

Hits:

ACV rinse - tried one for the first time, and I love how clean, tangle-free and shiny it left my hair.
ORS Replenishing Pak mixed with honey and oils (EVOO, EVCO, castor, sweet almond) - I've tried the ORS Pak on its own before and wasn't in love with the results. Mixing in some honey and oils made all the difference - my hair felt soft, strong and moisturized.
