March 2019: Hits & Misses

[Aggie]

OMG! Guess what y'all? I went swimming through my stash and just found that 2 of the 4 Wetline Gels (35oz each) I have left in my stash are the original formulas. My prayers were answered. I am soooo happy. I think I'll use those last, when my twa grow out a little longer. I don't want to waste them right now.

Revisited Hit
Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Luster Lock instant Shine & Repair Treatment

 

[Lita]

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.

@Shadow_Lace Yippee! Glad it worked out for you..Yep...

Happy Hair Growing!

I love this one too @Lita. A definite HIT for my hair as well.

Another HIT:

Keracare 5 in 1 Reconstructor. This stuff is amazing. Even though it's a protein, it really leaves my hair soft and strong while on my hair and after rinsing it out. Hmm, I need to pull that out for my next protein treatment this weekend.

• Schmidt Deodorant

I kept making to ask why this was a miss for you. I ADORE this product because it works well for me.

Hit:

TXTR by Cantu Treat Moisture Mask

I have to say I was initially skeptical about this line. I'm impressed by this d/c!!
It's very moisturizing, and it helps detangle my hair. The trick I've discovered is to allow it to majorly absorb into my hair, then use it to detangle my hair. I used it after my clarifying shampoo and it worked great for a 1st try. The next time I used it after my regular shampoo, it still worked like a charm.

Although it doesn't contain Coconut oil, it does have Shea butter (for anyone wondering).

Lol, sounds like me. My 1yo is almost always the first to try something new I bought.

I’m trying to enjoy it while I can. His dad keeps saying he looks like a girl with his curls. He doesn’t like braids in his hair though so washngo it is

Aww, I bet he looks adorable. I love that you're embracing his curls.

Tentative hit:
Olaplex #4 and 5

It turned underarms dark. Like I could literally pull off the skin off. Idk if the baking soda burned my skin. But it was weird. It literally turned my top layer of skin super dark. I applied 3 wk old fermented rice water to it and the skin peeled off.

It's likely the baking soda. It may have been too much for you as far as the pH of it.
If you're interested, we have a deodorant thread in the makeup/skin care forum.

Yup. It did the same thing to me. My gf told me it was the baking soda.

Miss: Wanting more Briogeo

 

[keranikki]

Hit:
BoBeam Conditioner- the slip is amazing! I was able to detangle my hair with ease. I may stock up before the sale is over.

Forever Hit
Conair Double Wavy Comb

 

[naturalyogini]

Miss
Soultanicals slip n glide knot proof detangler. Yes it's slippy. BUT it makes my hair hard and it caused my hair to seize up. I lost a ton of hair detangling with it because the strands kept sticking together. I used Bekura buttermilk over it and usually that product makes my hair so soft. Not now. I'll just use it to detangle my hair BEFORE shampooing. Done with this line. I mean it...no really...

 

[mzteaze]

Miss:

Curls and Potions Chebe Gloss - I didn't like the smell nor the really small jar of mostly inexpensive ingredients plus Chebe.

*Cackles about you being done for real with the line*.

You laughing at me. I do like the butter shampoos, though
