[Aggie]

Miss

Not being able to start wash day.

Miss For Me Also @shawnyblazes :

I'm having the same issue. We have a death in the family and my day tomorrow is already taken up with family. I may not be able to do anything until Monday and I really need to hendigo my hair urgently. My gray hairs are screaming for some color.

That was my issue LAST week. Nothing is going to stop my henna tomorrow.

What Happened??

The little one was with me all day. I wasn’t expecting it. @IDareT'sHair

@mzteaze

...too funny because I have been silently doing that for months now .

 

[ladybevy]

Hits:

Olaplex #4 Shampoo & Olaplex #3 - Have some heat damage and it has been helping. I have already seen some changes. I have been using #3 overnight (as recommended by my hair stylist) and the shampoo is just wonderful. A little goes along way, lathers nicely and leaves my hair feeling moisturized & soft and not stripped at all.

Shea Butter - Been using it for about 2 months now and my ends are looking healthier. My hair stays moisturized longer.

Agreed with all this.

Miss:

Deva curl heaven in hair
The smell was horrid and my hair felt really really weird after returned

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

Hit
Claudie's deep conditioning hair mask.
This was in heavy use the last 2-3 weeks at my house and each time everyone got great results.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@curlyhersheygirl
....

 

[naturalyogini]

Hit: Jlexillc Fenugreek dc. It's in a jar now. The only issue is that I can't detangle with it. But after leaving it in for 2 hours, my hair was soft and silky. Still not sure it's a repurchase.

Adding Bhrinraj to my Henna mix. My crown hair stopped shedding instantly.

On the fence:
Jlexillc scalp serum. This stuff stinks. I put some on my scalp overnight and I kept waking myself up. Definitely just a 2 hour prepoo.

Still a hit
Bekura Buttermilk, Mousse and Behari water.
Jlexillc hair butter. Expensive for the amount. But it makes my hair so shiny.

 

[naturalyogini]

Hits:

- Rice Water plus my CP tea (knockoff)
- Henna Sooq Red Raj henna

Maybe not for me :
- Henna Sooq Cocoveda Hair Masque - nothing outstanding that says buy me again

I wish it had more slip. I'd only buy it on sale.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@naturalyogini
Have you tried the Honey one?

 

[mzteaze]

I wish it had more slip. I'd only buy it on sale.

The product makes more sense IMHO for those who aren't mixing their own henna/cassia masks which is likely why it is a MEH for me.

Now I have to think about how to get rid of it.

 

[Aggie]

Sending positive vibes and strength. My condolences to you and yours.

Thanks hon . The funeral is over now the emotional healing begins.

 

[naturalyogini]

@naturalyogini
Have you tried the Honey one?

Yes. I like it. It makes my hair heavy. I don't use heat.

Hmm. I guess you're right since it's more like a henna gloss.

 

[Aggie]

@Aggie Im so sorry for your lost..My prayers to you and your family..

You ladies are ever so thoughtful. Thanks so much @Lita. Your prayers are appreciated .

 

[Aggie]

NEW HIT:

You know that Banyan Botanicals Bhringaraj oil really does make me sleep like a baby. I think I like it a lot .


Note:

Not suggested to use and stay on the scalp for more than an hour to three hours in winter months since it has a cooling effect and can make persons prone to colds and flu, sick.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Now I have to think about how to get rid of it.

@mzteaze
If anybody can find a way to get rid of it...you will!

You will mix it up till times get better

 

[Shadow_Lace]

Continued Hit: Wetline Extreme gel (it goes w/ multiple leave-ins & doesn't take forever to dry)

Hit: TMC Tropical Moringa Endless Moisture Sealing Cream

Thanks to Lita for helping me w/ this one. I use it as the C in LCO or as a leave-in underneath gels.
It has a little slip, which is just enough to help get some stragglers (shed hair, tangles/knots). It's very moisturizing. It definitely held-up in the winter, & now early spring.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Hit

Afro Whisperer Sugar foot shortening

softening , silky feeling, sheen for days, sank right in. winner winner chicken dinner

Sprouted Curlies Banana Cream

Yum, thick, moisturizing , softening, with steam, it got the job done

Miss

Getting my kinky twists installed. A long drawn out ordeal. I'll have to find another braiding salon in 8 weeks.


Neither hit nor a miss
Revair - I was expecting the hair gods to start singing. It was okay and honestly I got the same result that I usually get with stretching my hair. I will give it that it was quicker. I just wasn't impressed with the price versus the bulkiness/hose/noise

Bekura Beauty

Leche De Babasu Hair drench , my hair was okay as I was applying it. It wasn't extra soft, it wasn't moist feeling until I put another dc on top and hit it with steam

APB Hydration Leave In conditioner

Super moisturizing on wet/damp hair but when it dried, it was meh.

 

[Lissa0821]

Miss:
Curls Blueberry Bliss twist and Shout cream, it leaves my hair a little dry which I am pretty sure is due to the coconut oil.

Hit:
Camille Rose Almond Jai, it has soften my twist nicely, its a little to heavy for my fine hair but I still really like it.

Found 3 medium size jar of Wetline gel original formula

 

[Aggie]
