Hit--karishma henna! My hair felt strong, soft and moisturized after this treatment. It was easy to rinse out too, no grit in my hair. Only thing is it made my gray hair copper

Biggest Hit so far:
OYIN HAIR DEW!!!!
This stuff is the BIZOMB!!!
It smells so good, and then it's sooo moisturizing. My natural hair doesn't stay as moisturized as it did when I was relaxed, and THIS STUFF HERE?!?!? YAAAAZ!
Next once I moisturize my hair section with Hair dew, the next hit I use is
OYIN BURNT SUGAR POMADE
That stuff even SAYS it's a humectant on it -- and I mean to tell you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE has been able to ever give me 2nd day hair EVER!!! I am currently rocking a twist out that is 5 days old!!! And it STILL LOOKS GOOD!But it's wash day so I will take it down... BUT NOTHING EVER HELD MY HAIR LIKE THIS BEFORE!!!! Its usually a frizzy *** mess by the 2nd day.
I will say, I used just a small tad of Ecostyler Argon Oil per section, but it was minimal, and even with that, Ecostyler has never held my styles like this when I used it with SM Smoothie or anything else... SM Smoothie was a miss for me, because of the glycerin..
Anyways, I can't wait to try more products from Oyin! Thank God they got picked up by Target, because I hate ordering stuff online, I want my product when I pay for it, and if I don't like it I can always go back to Target... Thank GOD!!!! Yay OYIN!!! I can't sing enough praises!!!
Now - MISS: Karen's Body Beautiful Butter Love - SUCKED! It was dry and made my hair dry. I didn't like it at all.
Another MISS: Karen's Body Beautiful Super Duper Hydrating cream... YUCK! Nothing special about this line - and this is the exact reason I don't like to order stuff and I just wait till I can purchase it IN STORE. I would end up losing money because I would never mail it back... I don't have to worry about rude vendors - Target takes it right back! This line was horrible. With high prices like that, you should never have a complaint about a product...
Anyways, Y'all DON'T SLEEP ON OYIN HAIR DEW & BURNT SUGAR POMADE!!!

Miss:
LCO - Too much for my strands to try and soak up.
Continued hits:
Oyin Hair Dew and Burnt Sugar Pomade
On the fence:
Eden bodyworks curl defining cream - Idk if using as LCO is what made it subpar or its just not on the level of the other creams I have.

My recipe is less than stellar, it was my technique that changed. I use Naptural85's recipe as my base (I think 1/4 golden flax, 2 cups of water). I add a generous tablespoon of liquid coconut oil and about a teaspoon of argan oil along with some fragrance. But I think the most important part was using older flax seeds, incorporating a longer boiling time and using a reusable jelly strainer bag. Whenever I use older flaxseeds (maybe 4 weeks in the fridge) the gel is much thicker, which makes a better hold. I don't know why old flax seeds produce a thicker gel, (I'm guessing it has something to do with water content?) but from now on, I'm buying my seeds well in advance. The jelly strainer is crucial because mesh strainers and pantyhose couldn't filter out the gel (It was too thick!).

Hit: Organix Biotin and Collagen conditioner. I saw thickness in days. I was impressed.
Miss: Some random argan oil gel from the BSS by Salon Pro Exclusives. Terrible. It literally began to sud in my hair. I saw bubbles. I was through with it then. And the hold was terrible.

Continued HIT! Darcys Pumpkin Seed. And let the church say amen! Cant nobody do me like Ol Faithful.

*Garnier Sleek & Shine Anti-Humidity Smoothing Milk and Garnier Marvelous Oil Deep Nourish 5-Action Hair Elixir. It's been rainy and humid, but this keeps my frizz under control. I'm really loving Garnier right now!
*Lightly spritzing my hair with water mixed with coconut oil before moisturizing and sealing at night. My hair feels so much softer and moisturized in the morning.
Miss:
Homemade flaxseed gel w/ coconut oil. I'm sure I didn't make it right, but it flaked and left my hair hard.
Undecided:
Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream
