Miss: Creme of Nature Lemongrass & Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner
It did absolutely nothing for my hair, and if anything I think it made it more dry! Humph! Waste of my $8...I could have went to the tanning salon today!

Misses:
Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm - it made my hair hard and tangled
Rusk Sensories Smoother Leave-in - it also made my hair hard; it must be the aloe in it
Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner - I gave it another shot to no avail; it sucked even mixed with oil
Continued Hits:
Matrix Biolage Ultra Hydrating Balm - I love this stuff; it's uber moisturizing and detangling
Skala Shea Butter Conditioner - the best leave-in conditioner
Colorful Neutral Protein Filler - this has totally replaced my ApHogee 2-Min.

As a product junkie I feel like I'm never gonna be done with the experimentation phase! Even though something works I always feel like there just might be something better! And not to mention the need for back ups just in case they discontinue my holy grails! Poor me lol!
O yea and i tried the silk wrap I raved about and after leaving the saran wrap on and adding heat I ended up with a deep condition! My hair was drenched lol! Total fail! Never again!

HITS:
1. Malibu 2000 Crystal Gel Treatment...meaning, I can still see and feel the results since the application on June 1st.
As daily moisturizers used only in the evening.
2. Cantu Break Cure
3. Hawaiian Silky 14in1
4. Cantu Grow Strong
5. Cantu Leave in
Disclaimer: I know the Cantu has protein but I believe my hair is enjoying these products since my Malibu treatment.
Revised Hit:
6. Pin Curling, now my hair comes out similar to a flexi rod set or rollerset thanks to the YT vids I checked out recently. I use to roll my pin curls a little differently before.

AOHSR - I mixed this with a little GVP Humectress (old formula) to stretch the AOHSR and I was floored.

Herbal Rich Hair Butter (potent infusion of herbs to feed and nourish your hair and scalp). I love this butter; keeps my hair moisturized for days. Not greasy or sticky.
Moisture Milk Spritz (organic green tea, nettle, and marshmallow root extracts); melts my tangles and knots away
QhemetBiologics.com
I love the combination of Honeybush Tea Soft Gel and Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee for my braid outs. Hair stays moisturized.
Just purchased a steamer – And what took me so long?? I can’t say enough about steaming.
1) Henna – Steam for 1 hour. No longer have to henna for 4 to 6 or more hours. I henna to condition and color my hair a dark brown color. It takes 1 hour now instead of several hours. And I no longer have to DC overnight to get my hair back moisturized and soft.
2) Hot oil treatments
3) Deep conditioning treatments
4) Light conditioning treatments
5) After applying hair butters, sealing and French braiding my hair, I steam for 15 minutes. I no longer baggy at night.
No misses.

Don't worry be happy
New Hits:
Hempseed oil: I know oils don't add moisture, but my hair feels more hydrated when I seal with this oil. It's light and softens my hair too.
Continued hits:
Taliah Waajid Enhancing Herbal Conditioner
Moisture and slip for daaays.
Rice bran oil Great as a pre-poo and sealant.
Hit turned Miss:
L'Oreal Nature's Therapy Mega Moisture DC: The first time it was nice, good moisture, decent slip. But then I tried it like 5 days later YECCCCKKKKK!!!! No slip at all, and made my hair feel coated in a strange way. I had to do like 2 DCs to get it back to normal. What happened? IDK but its going @ the back of the stash. Can't afford any setbacks

Suave Aloe & Water lily
It smells sooooo amazingly gooood. It conditions really well maybe because it has aloe vera and honeysuckle. Its such a stable.
Wet Bunning, what a time saver..
