[Truth]

Hit: My phony pony puff (that looks exactly like how my hair would if i picked it )

 

[25Nona]

My hit so far, I've only tried them once and they made a huge difference in my hair. I'll have to use them a few more times and will know for sure, but for now.
Hit - Diluted Johnson and Johnson Shampoo and Pantene Breakage defense conditioner.

Hit:

Keracare Intensive Restorative Masque

I bought the big 32oz container and I am glad I did. Has a thin silky consistency which goes on easily so this one container will last me a LONG time. Smells good, a little like some garnier products. I used it as directed.....30mins with heat. Hair felt much stronger after rinsing and after blow drying. Looking at my hair today after flat ironing, it seems to have more natural sheen and my ends that are overdue for a trim are much smoother. I plan on using this weekly as my dc for a while to see the improvements with consistent use. This product has me really really considering trying other keracare products again. I bought this because I am moving towards trying an avlon brand relaxer and it would be nice to have staples from the same company. I'm very glad I gave this a chance. I should have bought it sooner when I was coloring my hair like crazy. With this conditioner, my return to color might happen sooner than I expected.

No Misses Thank god!!

 

[LynnieB]

Filled out some freebie form somewhere for Suave. They sent a full bottle of their new Suave Professionals Shampoo, Almond & Shea Butter for Dry, Damaged Hair as a "gift". Came in a pretty black box and e'erthang along with some "meh" expectations. It's supposed to be something like Aveda Dry Remedy poo/condish - something I'd never go out of my way to buy .

But HEY - I like it and want to try the conditioner too.

JMHO on a first time use of a free product. It's really not bad at all.

Hit: Joico Body Luxe Thickening Conditioner (Green Bottle)
Left my hair feeling soft and it airdried wonderfully- used it as an overnight deep
conditioner - would not do this again as it is a mild protein.

[nymane]

Mega Hit: Silicon Mix (I'm late, I know)...It's extremely moisturizing and I didn't need half the jar to saturate my hair. The only thing I don't like about it is the smell...but that's minor

 

[WesternEyes]

[Hairology]

MISS:
GroHealthy Thick and Healthy Olive Oil Cream
This stuff was terrible. It was not a great moisturizer, it did not penetrate
well and left a dull film on my hair.

 

[blacksapphire]

Mega Hit: Silicon Mix (I'm late, I know)...It's extremely moisturizing and I didn't need half the jar to saturate my hair. The only thing I don't like about it is the smell...but that's minor

is it the avanti version?? If not you should try it smells like baby powder

 

[nymane]

is it the avanti version?? If not you should try it smells like baby powder

Yeah it is but it doesn't smell like baby powder to me...well kind of I guess, but its sooooo strong

 

[DigitalRain]

Hit :Afroveda Shea Amla Whipped Butter Cream: I love the thick consistency and it leaves my newgrowth soft. I've heard people say they hate the smell, but I like it.

Hairveda Whipped Jelly- I find this doesnt hold worth crap, BUT it works great for me as another moisturizer.

Miss: none so far.

 

[caramelma]

HIT: Elasta qp Olive oil & Mango butter Moisturizer ( it is more creamy than the regular mango butter and so much better IMO)

 

[sharifeh]

Hit: silicon mix with heat on dry hair

I've had this condish for so long and I finally tried it as a dc on dry hair with heat.

Yeah it is but it doesn't smell like baby powder to me...well kind of I guess, but its sooooo strong

Yes the smell is really strong and perfumey....but I still really like it. And it doesn't break the pocket! yay!

Darcy's Botanicals Avocado & Honey Twisting Cream. Not moisturizing at all. I feel like it sucked the moisture out of my hair. I threw it away.
