HITS:
Suave Professionals Humectant- Excellent for CW, very moisturizing and smells great.

Le Kair Cholestrol (pink jar w/ jojoba oil & aloe) extreme moisture and strength

NTM Hair Serum- Adds shine and moisture, softness

Aussie Moist Shampoo- The most moisturizing shampoo I have ever used.

Qhemet Biologics Alma & Olive Heavy cream- Wow, this cream is so moisturizing I don't think i'll ever stop using it. Oh and it smells good.

Qhemet Biologics Olive Cream Conditioning Instant Detangler- Really detangles and adds moisture, smells good.

Aussie Hair insurance leave-in conditioner- Adds great strength w/ no hardness

LustraSilk No Drip Activator- Great moisture and shine

In Between:
Suave Professionals Biobasics- This was an ok conditioner, but wasn't moisturizing enough for me.

Suave Professionals Awapuhi- This is ok, left my hair a little hard. I've had worst conditioners though.

Misses:
MyHoneyChild Natural Hair Cream- I really like the sample I got from Sophia a couple months back. So I ordered a full jar and what I just received looks and feels more like gel than hair cream. This is a totally different product from the sample I tried. Not sure what the problem is, but I won't be ordering this again. I feel like I just wasted $10.

Hits:

Cod Liver oil and Flax seed oil + tons of water: Newgrowth feels softer and moisturized with no product. The first time I tried Flax seed oil, I wasn't drinking enough water. Now I drink probably 150 oz. throughout the day. No breakouts :thumbsup:

CON Gentle Clarifying Shampoo - gives squeaky clean feeling, but doesn't feel stripped.

Pave's Undamaged Goods Deep Conditioner - What I think a hair masque should feel like. Very creamy and detangling is a breeze.

Almost a miss: Sheamoisture Leave-in. This was making my hair look "ashy" when used alone on wet hair. Mixed it with a little bit of Wonder 8 oil, now I have a pretty good daily moisturizer.
