[Bette Davis Eyes]

Continued Hit.

APB Moisturizing leave in conditioner. Softening upon contact, sunk in, slight sheen and smells awesome.


New hit.

Cream and Coco BaNana smoothie yogurt. Thick, creamy buttery type product. Smells freaking amazing. Multi purpose and it sunk into my hair.

 

[Saludable84]

Yes, I cowashed with it once but decided it smelled too good and made my hair too soft to wash it out.

I've already added it to my BF list.

This is a must. The only reason I didn't buy last Black Friday is because I hauled epically the the previous BF and just not had to restock.

Since I cleansed my braids today, lemme post these hits:
SM African Water Mint Shampoo (can't wait to use this when my hair is free)
APB Mango Daily Spritz-this stuff is so awesome! Smells great and is very softening. I'm on my second bottle and will be getting another when she opens.

Huge Miss:
Received my HQS today. Came with no Notification/No Nothing. Which was fine, because to be honest, I didn't think it was coming at all. Point Blank. Period. (lol).

Okay..I ordered the B1G1 Free 12oz Greaseless Moisture. I open the box and it is x1 12oz Greaseless Moisture. (and a 4oz GM) which she promised everyone because of the delay in Shipping/Response etc...

In full disclosure, I have opened and escalated a PP Dispute with this vendor, because to be honest, I never thought it was coming due to unanswered convo's from me and several others.

And so now, it is a Partial order. PP has said they will make their decision by 07-31 based on: Item Not As Described.

After alladat...yeah, she needs to go ahead and shut down shop.

@ms.blue @NaturallyATLPCH

She doesn't care and it's sad when the lack of care is towards a long time customer.

Hit:
SM Sacha Inchi Masque.

CRN Curl Maker. So, how I never paid attention to the ingredients is beyond me. As I was using in the shower, on soaking wet hair, I said to myself "does this have aloe in it?" Looked and it's the 4th ingredient. I said I'll see how this goes. Aloe and I are very funny. I've never used this by itself on wet hair, only as a sealer. This product really adds weight to my hair, which wouldn't be a bad thing for a WNG. So here it is, 2 days later and my hair is surprisingly soft and does not need to be rewashed, just refreshed. $21.$&@?!99 this $&@? Better work. Cat piss smell, it better work.

I cant use it,

ALOE and coconut oil together so high, it caused my hair to be dry and crunchy. everyone else seems to love it though

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Continued Hit

Soultanicals Knot Sauce and Kids curl Detangler for baby josiah. Melts his knots away and gives his curls a nice bounce. The problem is... do I order more of the curl detangler now

 

[Saludable84]

I don't love it. I like it, but there is something about it that won't let me feel it's great when I applied I felt the aloe without realizing there was aloe in it. Ugh. Coconut oil I think my relaxed hair didn't like because nowadays my hair isn't complaining.

 

[Dee_33]

Looks like this tgin honey mask is a hit, I dc'd with it Saturday and today is Thursday and my hair is still moisturized. Hopefully it'll work just as well this wknd.

I like this stuff. The jar in my shower is for back-up. This is another product I like, but won't let be great.

New Hits
Extreme Wetline Professional gel - I got medium hold with no crunch, shrinkage or flakes.

Eternally in Amber - Excellent CS. One of my combs was missing. She shipped the missing item immediately. The combs are lightweight & flexible. They are truly seamless.

Curl Junkie Curl Rehab - love as both DC & leave-in. Has slip. Saved me from protein overload. Protein & glycerin-free; mixes well with my stylers (Eden Bodyworks Curl Defining Créme, Fruit of the Earth, SM 3 Butters, Ecostyler, Xtreme Wetline, AO B5 Design gels, SM original & Kids smooothies)

Continued Hits
SM Sacha Inchi smoothie & gel
Oster comb & Tangle Wrangler
Neem oil
Dudu Osum Hair & Body Oil

Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner - Affordable at $4 for 16oz. It detangles & moisturizes despite being a clarifying conditioner. If your scalp feels like this ; Cowashing with TTT will have it feeling like this: !

SM Coconut Hibiscus Hold & Shine Mist - Glycerin-free, moisturizes & defrizzes twists/braids. Soothes scalp due to neem oil & shea oil. It has no hold and doesn't dry sticky. Pairs well with Curl Junkie conditioners.
I either use this straight or mix with Oyin Handmade Juices & Berries. Juices & Berries has slip. The SM Hold & Shine Mist cuts the former's sticky feel.

Alikay Naturals Lemongrass
Mielle Organics White Peony
SM Kids Coconut Hibiscus mist
LUSH trichomania shampoo bar - soft, moisturized hair
One Naturals Hair Biscuit - soft, moisturized detangled hair. Better affordable dupe of LUSH Godiva bar.

On The Fence
JessiCurl Deep Conditioning Treatment (unscented) - Love the smoothing effect of cocoa butter. It has salon sizes available. Mixes well my stylers. Doesn't absorb unless used with heat. Not enough slip unless used on wet hair.

Miss
My Mason Pearson styling comb broke.
Millcreek Botanicals Henna Conditioner - Protein overload
SM High Porosity Masque - Protein overload
One Naturals Hair Biscuit - Discontinued due to lawsuit by LUSH.

Wow...I'm sorry you had to put up with such nonsense @IDareT'sHair

Looks like Hydroquench Systems is the new AfroVeda.
