LHCF: Ladies - give up the 411

[Syrah]

So we're going to play a game, cuz I realize that I"m tired of searching thread after thread trying to find some information (and my network craps out in the middle of advanced searches - I swear it's a conspiracy).

So Let's answer the following:

Hi, I'm: Username
My album can be found at: Put an asterik at the end if it's PW protected
I love: this is your ONE favorite product line. Ladies, I said ONE!!!
My Splurge is: this is that one product you buy that you know is expensive, but you love.
My Cheap Fix is: this is that CHEAP product you love...I mean, less than $5 (don't come in here with my cheap fix is NeXXus cuz we all know that mess is NOT cheap).
I don't get why folks love: that one product that folks LOVE that just didn't work for you.
My Little Secret is: the one product you love that folks don't seem to rave about
I want to try: for all you product junkies out there. ONE product.

Damnit yall...I said ONE and I mean it.

I'll post a copy of the question so people can copy and paste really easily.

[Syrah]

Ahhh...I hope ladies don't think the "I don't get why people love: _____" section is trying to encourage people to knock other people's regimens.

It's more about sharing what did and didn't work.

I remember everybody was raving about S Curl, so I went out and bought some (the big bottle) cuz I figured I would love it to. So I tried, , and I tried , and I tried and the mess just left my hair in a big goopy pile on the top of my head.

But it was helpful coming on to the boards and learning that while it worked for SOME ladies, it didn't work for all....and that my head was NOT defective (I came to that conclusion again about a few weeks later when I tried Elasta QP's Mango Butter ).

Everything doesn't work for everybody...

That's the only point.
