Click to expand...


Oh, thanks! I am having a bit of a Silk Elements moment right now. I think I might try the Mega Cholesterol some time and I have some sample packets of their conditioners I need to tear into! :p
 
Phytospecific index 2 relaxer. :D at first i felt like my hair was underprocessed (used to it being bone straight with affirm lye reg)but now i am used to it and think it is healthier this way.

the hair relaxed w/ phyto is much softer, shinier and fuller than the rest of my hair
 
Hits--

Nioxin Smoothing Reflectives--using for my wash and go and this is the best gel ever. My hair feels so soft and free. Definite staple

Misses--

Fructis curl spray gel for my wash and go--Never going cheap again
 
Hits:
Keracare Humecto, bottle version
My hair had so much slip, felt extremely soft, no shedding or breakage. If the bottle worked well for me, I can only imagine how the tub will do. The tub is supposed to be better.

Misses:
Capilo Sole & Cinnamon
The first treatment went well, but that was it. And the ingredient list sucks (alcohol, petroleum, mineral oil)

Jury still out on:
UBH creme moisturizer
UBH dew spray
Garnier Fructis Long & Strong Leave In moisturizer

I also loved the bottle although now I only use the tub version. It seems like no one likes the bottle. Using the bottle got me to want to get the bigger size.

Huge Hit!! La Bella Los Caballos shampoo. I think this is going to replace my Mane and Tail shampoo. It made my hair so soft after I rinsed it out.

Oh I am just kidding girl. That is one product that is not too disappointing if you don't like it because it is so inexpensive.

But, really, I think that conditioner is only good for detangling or softening. I don't think it is good enough to use alone.
 
Hits:

Marc Anthony Strictly Curls lotion

Paves Flawless Straight and Narrow Repairing Relaxing Balm - made my wash & go frizz free but it stinks like heck.

Misses:
Shampoo- :wallbash: the tangles are horrific 75% of the time but I am not brave enough to go curly girl-shampooless.

Cantu Shea butter leave in - too waxy, drying.
