Hits: NTM Hair Masque (love it!)
Suave Coconut Conditioner

Miss: Dove Moisture Mist (what does it do?!)

Revisited Hit: WGO- Great sealant

Just straight made me laugh right now....:lol: :lol: :lol:

I think it's good/a hit as a detangler for wet hair :) ...
but on dry...:confused: :ohwell: :look:

and can I take a moment to say in March 2007, I'm feeling Cassia and Garnier Sleek and Shine Leave In? HIT. :p
 
Hits:

:smirk: EVOO
:smirk: Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Time Renewal

(I decided to try both the shampoo and the conditioner when I found them at a clearance sale, and these are the first Pantene products I've ever liked. The shampoo lathered really well on the first rinse, did a great job of cleansing my hair, and left it super soft. I picked up the deep-conditioning mask today, and I can't wait to try it too.)
 
Jojoba oil is my new LUV:love: . I mix it in equal parts with castor and coconut and the results are:eek: :eek: :eek: . STAPLE.

Thanks Mona, I'll keep an eye out and let you know when it arrives!

On the Dove Moisture Mist...

I made a leave-in mix that my hair absolutely ADORES:

1/2 bottle of DMM
NTM Touch Leave-In
NTM Smooth Shine Anti-Frizz Cream
NTM Smooth & Shine Serum
1 capful Silk Amino Acids
1 capful Sodium PCA

It doesn't do much on wet hair but on dry hair it's awesome. I apply at night before typing up hair w/scarf or pin clurling.

My list for now:

Hit
Proclaim Olive Oil Glossing Shampoo (did not strip my hair, gentle lathering, made my hair feel kinda soft)
Proclaim Olive Oil Glossing Conditioner (a light conditioner that made my hair very soft; it seems that it's also light enough to use as a leave-in since it just "melts" into the hair)
Lenzi's Request
Kenra Thermal Styling Spray


Miss
Joico's Leave-in Protectant (I didn't like the way it made my hair feel when I applied it...smells good though)

Somewhat Hit
NTM Hair Mask (it's kinda nice, but I won't repurchase)
 
Hits:
Fantasia IC Hair Polisher

After seeing Angie10's blinging hair in her siggy, I ran, not walked, to Walgreens and purchased it. Oh dear, its so nice. This is definitely a keeper.:)

You are right, I have this poo and hate it!!:mad:
 
Miss: Silicon Mix :confused: I was so excited to purchase this product due to all of the reviews......Great slip, but even though the hair was soft and bouncy, it did not feel moisturized. The strong scent gave me a headache.

My daugther is going to see if she likes it, if not, I have a lhcf donor and wiill be sending to her.

Jury is still out on Salerm21- I will update on the next poo.

Girl me too!! The smell was too overpowering and it gave me a terrible headache, too:perplexed
 
Miss: Dabur Amla Oil...the smell gives me a headache

Hit: Dabur Amla Oil..The first oil I have found that my hair loves. It doesn't just sit on top of my head and doesn't make my hair greasy.

I am so torn...Do all amla oils smell like Dabur?

Try the Dabur Amla Lite. It smells good! Perfumey.

I think doing this is not good for me either. I am just not myself and it does effect my well being. I will even skip workouts or not wash my hair because I am not getting enough sleep. Not good. :nono:
 
Hits:
Aussie Moist Conditioner - I bought this recently and I love the smell and how it makes my hair feel.
BB Oil Moisturizer w/ Castor Oil & Aloe - I had this since last month and it's still doing good for my hair

I have also found an simplier and faster regimen for my hair...detangling in two sections and styling my hair into two buns.

On The Fence:
Infusium 23 Original Leave-in Treatment - I bought it just recently...not sure if it's doing anything for my hair yet.
Sunsilk Black Shine Shampoo - I bought this last month. I like how it leaves my hair soft and it lathers really well, but it doesn't make my hair blacker.

No Misses yet!

Hit: Joico K-Pak Shampoo and Reconstructor... I liked the shampoo. It left my hair strong but still soft. The reconstructor was wonderful as well. I can't wait to try the Daily Conditioner.

On the fence: Joico Intense Hydrator... It was okay, but I have better moisturizing conds. I will probably not repurchase.

I am quickly becoming a salon product junkie. I am getting such excellent results from Kenra, Redken, and now Joico that I want to try every line. :ohwell:
 
Aubrey Organics GPB- I love this stuff. I dunno why it took so long for me to try it. I think I just wary of the protein but not anymore. My hair is really soft and well conditioned after using it. It's a keeper. Next week I will try the honeysuckle rose. Also, GPB smells like the original Avon Skin So Soft (green line). I like the smell.

I knew that scent reminded me of something. I just couldn't place it. You are right, it kinda smells like Skin So Soft!
 
hits:
Aveda Be Curly curl enhancing lotion (as a moisturizer/leave-in)
Aveda Sap Moss Shampoo (revisited hit :love:)
Aveda Cherry Almond Bark conditioner + castor oil :yay:
Aveda Be curly conditioner (as a corinse/detangler)

no misses so far :D

on the fence:
Aveda Shampure conditioner - it's okay, but not enough slip. but it does leave my hair really strong yet soft :ohwell: not sure if i'll repurchase or not.

eta another hit:
braiding the roots of my 2strand twists :weird: - they feel more secure and better hangage overall.

Hit:

Africa's Best Instant Detangling Conditioner

(glad I finally found something to add to arsenal so I don't have to be dogging up my NTM DDC all the time - praying I find more of this on the shelves)
 
ok, the verdicts in on paul mitchell super skinny. it works!!! i'm 14 weeks post and i could actually comb through my hair :woot: :woot: :woot:
 
Hits.........No new hits.

Miss.......Asha Herbal Shampoo. This did nothing for my hair. I wash twice and was wondering what was going on. To give it the benefit of the doubt, I clarified and rewashed. Nothing. So I picked up the Nexuss Therappee and my hair was back how it should be. Also, after my first time using it in the shower the ink smeared off the label. :nono: I will use this to clean my comb and brushes just to 'use it up.'

Miss.....Asha's Coco De Leche Hair Milk. This is not milk at all. It's very very thick and just sat on my hair. I expected it to be thin like the Carol's Daughter Hair Milk. Not at all. I will stick with the CD
