See I'd be acting a fool. A complete and utter fool. I swear this makes me want to stick to my otg products. I can't be bothered. Long shipping times, high shipping costs AND delivery bs. Nope. I just can't.

 

[rileypak]

Well @rileypak just got her order and both of hers were there.

@rileypak What size did you get?

Got 2 - 12oz. jars.

ETA: Never again. This was my first and last time purchasing from HQS. Too much tomfoolery and hand wringing.

@CeeLex33

IKR?

It's here and has been here since 07/20 but for some reason it's held up at USPS.

Last time that happened with this particular vendor, it got: "Returned To Sender" so I don't know what's going on with it?

I've been on the phone for the past x2 days with USPS trying to track it down.

You will owe. Something not right.

Yup. Either that, or it's busted & leaking. Something's definitely up.

I love that combo

 

[KinksAndInk]

Miss: the smell of Jakeala's beau vert hair masque. Smells like feet and black n milds. Can't remember how it performs but the smell alone makes it a do not repurchase.

@IDareT'sHair it does. I was like oh no this is nonsense. And the performance is just ok for me. Not worth it. The last of the jar is being used as a prepoo mixed with a bunch of oil and prayers.

Yeah I like it a lot

I don't remember the 'scent' but I actually did like the Performance (if I remember correctly)

I will soon find out, because I have x2 Jars in my Stash.

Black and milds though. Lordt!

Yes lol. That's the only way I could describe it.

What was wrong with them?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@gorgeoushair
No 'tingle' whatsoever.

I convo'ed her about and received less than a suitable answer.

I have not purchased anything from her since.

As bad as I hate 'mixing' up stuff, this has worked out really well for me.

ETA: I even put in the "Note to Vendor" - Extra Tingle.

Possible Hits:
Shea Moisture Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil. I liked it. Creamy. Good slip. Detangled well. But I think there are more reasons to it. Oh, but the smell idk whose olfactory they are using but it's like Sacha Inchi smells like old lady perfume, High Porosity smells like it should have stopped at SI but kept going and Manuka and Mafura smells like it's still going through the change (not yet old lady). Anyways, when I rinsed, nice soft hair. I was surprise because this didn't work before.

KCCC. It's ok. Went on better than Curl Maker. Still had forsaken aloe.

I need to come back with an update CRN Curl Maker.

 

[Saludable84]

Last night I was falling asleep writing my post.

So Curl Maker, I realized, works because even the aloe is horrid, as long as my hair is wet, the aloe is tolerable. Also, I used Shea Moisture SI a couple days ago and applied that right after. SM has a habit of keeping my hair hair wetter, longer and so that helps. Yesterday, my hair was completely dry and a mess. Sprayed with some water and it found some act right.

As long as I have water, the aloe is tolerable.

KCCC went on much better. I stopped using KCKT because I realized that started making my hair look dull, but the combination of both made my hair soft. So will see with using KCCC alone.

Was it the SM Manuka conditioner that you used? I was just eyeing it but didn't pull the trigger.

The masque. The one in the amber jar. I've been eyeing it for months but my fist time using it, I didn't like. I've been revisiting the line and decided to give it a try. I really liked it. I will strictly be rotating between 3 of the Shea Moisture Masques (that's all I can use) and I'm good for OTG conditioners.

 

[CodeRed]

Hit: Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Conditioner

This stuff is great. Slippy hair in the shower and it was soft, shiny and fell nicely after I blowdried. I really like it.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Thanks T! I want that moisture cream or the macadamia cream. I guess I will add that to the list to try with Simese twists. Between the two lines, whose butters do you prefer?

@AgeinATL
That Macadamia Butter is Whipped to Velvet Perfection.
