On the fence:
Htn: hair lotion, feel greasy and to heavy for my hair.... Will save to try in the fall season.

Miss-
Glycerin based products of any kind feels good at first but the end result before the day is over is sticky, tangly hair even in optimal glycerin usage climates.
Hits:
Organic Root Solutions Creamy Aloe Shampoo - Cleaned my hair w/out stripping it dry like my Jason Tea Tree Shampoo does.
Feria Professional Color Moisturizing Treatment - You have to get it at Sally's or other fine beauty shops that cater to professionals, but it's worth it. It made my hair sooooooo soft. If only it came in a bigger tube.
Washing my hair in sections - Makes life so much easier.
Misses:
Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo - Here's the tragic thing. It's a lovely shampoo. Felt moisturizing, w/out making it feel greasy or dirty. So, why isn't it a hit you may be asking? The smell. Oh dear lord, that smell. It would be a bad smell if it weren't so strong. Like, turned up to 11 strong. Like yankee candles on steroids strong. Makes me nauseous just thinking about it.
Miss: Bee Mine Luscious Balance Moisturizer left my hair dry as a desert by the end of the day.
Hit:
re-visited Oyin Honey hemp
Still on the fence about HHBR Herbal Mist and Roots of Coconut and Aloe. I'm starting to think my hair hates aloe vera, seems like anything wit aloe makes it hard. I looked at list of ingredients on BM and they all look good but it has aloe in it and I'm thinkin that's the culprit and the same with the sprays. Still testing the sprays though.
