March 2007 Hit or Miss!!!

[Cleve_gryl]

Hit: Neutrogena Total Moisture Silk Leave In. Dont ask what took me so long to get to it...

Me too!! I just picked this up last night. Another hit, Vatika oil.

Miss: Dove Sheer Mist leave in...i think my hair likes creamy vs. spray

 

[baglady215]

HIT: Kenra Clarifying Poo... Found my new staple clarifier! My hair was so clean yet so soft. Thanks Honey Dew!

Cleve_gyrl, pretty curls!

 

[A_Christian]

Hit: Elucence Moisture Balancing Conditioner

I didn't care for it at first but it has worked very well at mositurizing and detangling my hair recently. For some reason it seems to work better when I use it after shampooing with the Elucence Shampoo versus another shampoo.

MISSES:

MTG: used for almost four weeks now. The smell is horrible that sulpher smell has been inbedded in my fabrics, had to wash clothing 5 times to get rid of smell. It was to oily and broke out my face. Did nothing for my hair. When I walked by my Team lead was like what it that smell? I have been smelling like burnt rubber.

WGO: after a while made my hair gummy and NO "wild growth".

 

[OneInAMillion]

Hit for me too! I liked it better than the Reshma.

Hit: Silk Elements Luxury Moisturizing Creme... the BOMB for braidouts

On the fence: BB Growth Creme... makes my hair hard

Glad you liked it. How often are you going to use it? I'm tryin to use this stuff every week .

I'll probably use it every 2 weeks. I bought the last box at the Indian store, and I told him I would be BACK, so hopefully he has restocked.

HA! I did the same thing. I bought one, loved it, then went back for the last two. I told him to order that stuff! I have to go see if he got some, because that was the only place I was able to find it.

 

[HoneyDew]

HIT: Kenra Clarifying Poo... Found my new staple clarifier! My hair was so clean yet so soft. Thanks Honey Dew!

Cleve_gyrl, pretty curls!

When i say you post this, I was so happy. I LOVE this shampoo. My hair starts cutting up if I don't use it at lease every other shampoo. I have hard water based on a water analysis I did and this shampoo has really come to the rescue.

 

[Catina72]

Hit:
Sunsilk 24/7 creme, the green bottle for Anti-frizz, I airdryed with this and sealed with oil, my hair was almost as straight as if it had been blowdried!! This will be a staple for me.
Revisted hit:
Elasta QP Intense conditioner, helps with detangling and provided slip, I hate the smell(banana) but I can hold my breath for these results!!

No misses yet.....

 

[LaNecia]

Nothing to report yet...I'll be back in about two weeks (with I suspect to be some really GOOD news!!)

 

[bablou00]

HITS: Just picked up some more Mizani Night time. I havent had it in 5mos and my hair was missing it. A shower filter. I cant wait to wash again with clean water. Roux Porosity Control. No more tangles during long stretches w/ this stuff

Misses: Throwing S-curl out the window. It did nothing for my new growth.

 

[Lynnerie]

Hits: Alma Oil-pre poo, Coconut oil- Thanks to the Indian woman at Bombay Grocery Store.

 

[preciousjewel76]

Hits:
Goody "So Gelous" Detangling comb (thanks, LocksofLuv!) - great medium-tooth comb for detangling wet hair in the shower. I use it after my Jilbere shower comb.

Silicon Mix (thanks for the sample, amcwah!) - I'm 11 weeks post, and this really provided great slip for my hair. No problems detangling.

Revisited:
Aphogee Intensive Keratin Reconstructor (the "two minute" Aphogee treatment) - I completely forgot I had this under my sink. Used during last night's wash to get my hair in shape for my upcoming touch-up. My hair loved it! Made it strong and soft.

On the Fence:
Greit Oll 9 en 1 Rinse - doesn't seem to provide the slip that the Nacidit and Praital Silk Worm rinses provide. I'll try again, but I wasn't impressed.

No misses to report!

LUV this! Did you use it according to the instructions or some other way. I got good results just from leaving it my hair for 3 min. Just think wha 10 min under the dryer would be like.

I did 10 min under the hood dryer, then let it sit because I had to watch Grey's Anatomy (even though it was a rerun). I think it really penetrated, because when i took the plastic cap off I could not see the treatment on my hair anymore, I really like it when the product disappears

 

[B_Phlyy]

Hits Revisited
Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Shampoo
Roux Porosity Control Conditioner
L'Oreal Vive Nutri-Force Conditioner


Used all of these last night and today I am having one of the best hair days I've had in weeks. And my hair is fully cooperating despite the fact that there is a small snowstorm going on outside.

 

[gymfreak336]

Huge miss: Redken heavy cream conditioner- I don't know why this didn't work. I really wanted it to work but it was horrible. Me and redken just don't get along

Hey CAPlush. What didn't you like about the shampoo?

 

[CAPlush]

Hey CAPlush. What didn't you like about the shampoo?

It tangled up my hair and I had to use a whole lot to get it to lather. After rinsing, my hair just felt ok, and I couldn't shake the tangles out like I usually can.

 

[Gisselle]

wow! I am going to try it like that for my next protein treatment.

How often do you use this protein treament?

 

[HoneyDew]

How often do you use this protein treament?

I use it like the bottle says. Leave it on for 3 min and rinse.

I do protein every other week. I don't always use my Joico K-pak, though. I only use that one once a month because it is pretty expensive for the liter size that I bought.

 

[EMJazzy]

Hit: Pantene pro V treatment (intensive curl hydrating mask) ME LIKEY!!!! it's verrrrrrrrry moisturizing!!!! For those who are interested it's on sale at Giant for $1.83

No misses...

Hits:
Lacio Lacio--makes me and my dd's hair feel wonderful

Silk Praital--this stuff made my hair so soft, my weave nearly slid out of my head...had to redo it for my challenges!

Neutrogena clarifying shampoo--every other week, this stuff works wonders for us.

Misses:
relaxer stretches and no heat challenges--I got so much breakage stretching for 3 months. My hair either has to be all straight or all natural. A mixture of the two leads me to so much disappointing breakage.

hair dye--not only was my abundant grey not getting covered, I also got dryness and breakage, sigh so now I plucked the grey hairs around my part and called it a day. My hair is black, white, and medium brown now. Yum (not!)

biotin--broke my face and back out horribly, not worth faster hair growth for me.

On the fence:
Acetite de Oliva shampoo and conditoner--not noticing any difference after using the shampoo, and the conditioner lists mineral oil as one of its ingedients.

My flat iron--I turned the temperature down and used it, and since I've relaxed and such, I haven't seen any increased amounts of breakage, so I'm slowly adding it back into my routine. Oh how I have missed you beloved Sedu...

Now that its no longer 14 degrees outside, I can definitely see a difference in my hair. My skin and hair stayed dry throughout most of February, and full of static. Come on spring.
