Hey Cuzzins!

Whats A Yassssss

What A NOOOOOOO

What's A "Maybe" but I'm undecided this Month

Major miss: Tresemme Strong Hold Mousse. I got a sample size to see if I could find a cheaper alternative to my styler. Not only does it not give strong hold, the nozzle is broken so I can never just pump it out.

I can finish it but I'm going back to an old faithful after this.

Hit:
Alberto Balsam coconut and lychee conditioner

CRN Curl Maker - Used with mouse and increasing the amount of gel I use,

 Miss
CRN spiked honey mousse - I'm waiting to see how this dries and how it holds up.

ETA:

There was no hold and my hair dried without the definition I'm used to, it was just dry looking and frizzy. I will probably use for roller sets.

Hit: crème of nature honey curl activator

I initially thought this was trash but I realized that I needed to add more water. My wash and goes have beeen giving and doesn’t get smushed while sleeping. I just went on a vaycay and didn’t have to do nothing with my hair and I looked fabulous!

Do you find this prevents shrinkage?

On the first day it’s elongated but the days after it shrinks a little bit every day. You could refresh with a few sprays of h2o

Sounds good to me I think the CRN product I initially wanted to try was the honey hydrate leave in, the creme of nature honey curl activator sounds like it might be similar, but half the price.

The honey hydrate has no hold at all but the CON does even though the hair feels soft. I paired it with a creamy leave in today and it looks even better

I think I'll give the honey hydrate a miss then I will check out the CON one though, probably sometime next year as I'm about to move over to roller sets and buns in the next 3 - 4 weeks.

I highly recommend. It acts better than my crème styler from Miche which I loved but it’s too expensive for me to wash and go 2x a week

I've not tried their cream, only the tropical oasis gel, I wasn't that impressed by it, but I will give at another try. The Miche products are a bit more expensive than other lines, my favorite gel so far is the Doux big poppa, which is not too expensive, and I can pick it almost anywhere.

Hit: The Mane Choice Do It Fro The Culture conditioner. Smells nice and makes my hair soft
