JULY Hits&Misses

[A_Christian]

More Hits:

-Kemi-Oyl...Good for light moisturizing, doesn't weigh my relaxed hair down

-Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo...Gives an awesome scalp tingle, I still felt the tingling sensation on my scalp long after rinsing all of the shampoo out of my hair and scalp and I rinsed for a very long time to make sure I got all of it out.

-The following combination: applying a generous amount of Dudley Creme Protein to Dry Hair, leaving it on for 10-15 minutes with no heat followed by shampooing with Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo.

Next, conditioning with Avalon Organics Tea Tree Scalp Treatment Conditioner (all of Avalon Organics Conditioners are Paraben Free)! I got more slip with this combination than I do with Humecto! No tangles whatsoever.

It could be because I'm only 3 weeks post touch-up so I'd have to wait until I'm 16 or 18 weeks post before I'd make Avalon my staple conditioner. It's nice to have found a paraben free conditioner with slip.

Dudley Creme Protein does have paraben though so I hope that I would still get the same amount of slip with just the Paul Mitchell Shampoo & Avalon Organics Conditioner. I'm just trying to use the Creme Protein up & don't plan to repurchase.

Get it! Get it!
It made my scalp feel great and it didn't make my hair feel dry or stripped of all of its moisture like shampoos usually do.

Yeah, it's good stuff. I'm at the bottom of my clarifying shampoo, and I need to get a new one. I may go back to PM TT Shampoo as well.

This tea tree shampoo is it clarifying? I just thought it was stimulating.

See what yall made me do...

I went out and bought the generic version of the tea tree shampoo, couldnt stop there so I bought that jamaican mango and lime Island oil.

I will give a verdict in a few weeks.

Are we gonna start the Aug. hit or misses in the beginning of Aug. or the end?

HITS

Oyin Whipped Pudding as a pre-shampoo treatment- Worked like a charm. I will need to stock up on this when the website reopens.

Loreal Mega Moisture Nurturing Creme- I was skeptical about this but it actually worked pretty well. It made my hair extremely soft and the coils of my hair were more defined.

Kids Organics Gro-Stong Triple Action Growth Stimulating Therapy- I love this product, it's like a grease but it's not too greasy and it smoothes down my hair nicely.

Aura Rosemary Rinse- I really like this stuff and will continue to buy it. The consistency is creamy and is easy to work into my hair and it gives a little tingle to my scalp.

It did make my hair soft, but my blowout didn't last. I am six weeks post relaxer and have been using MTG, and I have a lot of newgrowth. I was almost tempted to relax but after using the BBD flatiron lotion, I think I can stretch for another six weeks easy.

Oh ok...I was thinking about trying that one or one of the others that they have. I'm not really sure yet. So the BBD Flat iron cream worked well for you?? R u relaxed or natural?

I am relaxed 4a/4b. The BBD Flat Iron lotion is the best, my hair is still straight and silky despite the humid weather. I get my hair washed and set and use the BBD growth stretch creme as a leave in. After the rollers are taken out, I have my hair blown out with the flat iron lotion.
