**July 2012 Hits & Misses**

[MsLauren]

Mega Hit:
Jessicurl Too Shea Extra Moisturizing Conditioner- I received a sample of this in my curlmart order and babyyyyy this conditioner made my hair so soft and very moisturized. But its 16.95 a bottle!! I will be ordering this when I come back from my vacation.

Hit:
Bobeam Cheris Hibiscus Poo Bar- didn't strip my hair and lathered nicely.
Coconut Oil- works nicely on my skin too

Miss:
Aubrey Organice HSR- It didn't do a thang for my hair! After all the hype I heard about this product I expected much more. I'm going to try it again underneath my steamer and if that doesn't work I'll just use it to cowash

 

[Ogoma]

Continued Hits:
- Oyin Honey Hemp (I put this in the freezer for 7 months and it is watery and smells terrible , but it still leaves my hair soft and shiny)
- Devacurl One Conditioner

Hit & Miss:
- QB AOHC as a leave-in: absolute miss; greasy weighed-down hair
- QB AOHC as a nighttime moisturizer, pre-poo, and to steam with: hit! hit! hit! breaks down hair nicely, makes it easy to detangle.

A revisited hit...Hawaiian Silky 14 n 1 spray. I have fallen back in love with this stuff. Keeps my hair super moist and defines curls.

Hits
B.A.S.K Palm Tapioca Deluxe Hair Cream (this might be an alternate to Qhemet's AOHC for me)
B.A.S.K Silk & Honey Latte in the Nectarine Vanilla scent
Aloe Vera Gel

Continued Hits
Wen Mango Coconut
Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk

Misses
Going on the IMDB page of any black actress. It's like people can't see a black woman as beautiful unless she's mixed with something. I went on Freema Agyeman's page and someone was shocked that they found her so beautiful, but concluded that it was because she was half Iranian.

 

[MrsJaiDiva]

Moderate Hit:
Jane Carter Curls Cream - Gave OK definition, and moderate bounce. Hair stayed moist all day, and no frizz. If I ever run out of AG, I'll have this in the stash.

Continued Hit:
Tresseme Naturals Moisture Condish
Wen Mango Coco
AG re:Coil Curl Activator
WnG's (I just don't care about the SSK's!)
Detangling with fingers, or Bohn comb
Saying away from the ghatdamned Denman brush.

Miss:
Garnier Fructise Curl Cream - So terrible, I threw it in the garbage after one use. Left my hair sooo dry, and frizzy...which was bloody Amazing, considering that I had oil rinsed and mixed some Tresseme Naturals in with the GFCC.

[30something]

Hit
Tresemme Naturals Nourishing moisture conditioner
Been trying to make this conditioner work since it came out in 2010(?). The new formula is much better then the original for me. Never knew how much isopropyl alcohol could actually dry out the hair until I tried the original formula.

Its got good slip for finger detangling, and co washes... it washes out pretty good leaving no product residue (which I hate and find common in cheaper conditioners rinse out).

 

[lamaria211]

• Aveda Repair Leave-In - Very expensive. Didn't see any changes in hair.
