LHCF STAPLES - that Don't work for you???

[JadeFox]

denman brush - my hair hates that thing, it literally pulls out chunks of my hair. i really wanted to like it and used it both wet and dry
megatek - way too much shedding
fantasia ic gel - i really want to like this gel, because it gives great curl definition, but by the time it dries, my hair looks like i rolled it thru a lint trap

 

[glamazon386]

Pantene Relaxed and Natural
NTM Silk Touch Leave In
Anything with sulfur in it - found out I was allergic
Suave/V05 Conditioners
Giovanni Direct Leave In - it was bleh I wouldn't repurchase
Cowashing

 

[HairBella08]

Keracare hydrating shampoo and keracare humecto - both did nothing for my hair at all. I had better luck with Curls products.

well, if you shed with megatek, you *Have* to take garlic pills or wash with garlic shampoo.

It makes sense that if you're going to do something to your hair, like say clarifying, then you're going to have to overcompensate in the other direction with moisture. Megatek (a hard core protein) is no exception.

It's too bad about the denman, it's a great, great brush.

With the Ic fantasia... use less product, and only add it to wet, conditioned hair...(i do it right when i come out of shower) then you'll get beautiful results...

hth.

hydrathermal naturals! whatever. That shampoo stripped the mess out of my hair. And the smell was not ok. Its still in my drawer.

Shea butter on my ends. too heavy

Dominican conditioners except Silicon Mix Pearl, and Crece Pelo - don't do anything for me.

 

[Nightingale]

Pre poos
coconut oil
fantasia ic gel
glycerine heavy products
Cheapie conditioners like suave and VO5 (too thin)

 

[Samory07]

Shave your legs with them. Or add baking soda to them and use them to clean your hair instead of using a drying shampoo. Or you can put them on your feet at night with some socks and they'll be soft in the morning.

Thanks so much for the ideas!!! I'm definitely going to try them

Any aphogee product makes my hair hard.
NTM products produce no change in my hair, it is like I put nothing in it.
Organix self-heating oil made my hair feel like straw.
Garlic shampoo did not help with shedding.
Jojoba oil does nothing for my hair.
EVOO does nothing for my hair
Castor oil does nothing for my hair.
Bee Mine did not help my hair to grow.

[chebaby]

I discovered the hard way that my hair won't tolerate silk amino acids and most oils. As I tried each new item, I was so hopeful that I would achieve the same results as members who posted with great outcomes and each time I was disappointed. I've learned to keep it really simple. My hair seems to behave like a finicky infant. It's hungry but it's very stubborn and won't eat much of anything!
