May 2007 Hits and Misses

[A_Christian]

More hits: Qhemet Products!!!!!

I love the Sidr Tree Butter! It's one of the best moisturizers I've ever used! I also really like the Amla and Olive Heavy Creme and the Honey and Olive Hyrdating Balm. These will definitely be staples from now on.

 

[NeeSee]

Hits: Aveda Universal Styling Cream
Aveda Brilliant Serum
Aveda Paddle Brush
Nairobi Foam Wrap Lotion

Still no misses.

Rediscovered Hit:

Using a homemade spritz to moisturize my new growth!

I'm 9 weeks post, and it seems like my creamy moisturizers just weren't cutting it as far as keeping my new growth moist. So I mixed up a batch of moisturizing spritz (conditioner, water, glycerin, oil), and my new growth is doing a happy dance.

Normally, I don't like to use liquids/sprays on my dry hair, but I think this spray really works for me late in a relaxer stretch.

 

[RubyWoo]

Yes I do and my hair has been really getting tangled lately and it really help that. I thought I would have to mix it with my razac (liquid leave in) but I didn't.

Thanks girl!

Today was wash day so I tried the silicon mix leave-in and my hair feels soo soft and silky and it's shiny! I love it! I may have to put this on rotation for my leave-ins after washing. But that won't be for a while..lol...I love my Lacio . It is definitely comparable to Lacio Lacio though. Thank you for the review!

Really glad it worked out. I know sometimes things just don't work for everyone. Lacio will remain in my rotation which I've basically narrowed it down to 2 for now...Silicon leave in and Lacio.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the others...maybe I'll use them for con washes.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

Hits: Dove Sheer Moisture Leave in Spray What a surprise! It is really moisterizing to my hair. It smells nice too.

JBCO - wow, I can't believe how soft it made my hair after I moisterized with Elucence and Dove Sheer Moisture. It was a hit with my natural locks. I'm going to make this a staple oil for after moisterizing.

 

[Mortons]

Hits: Vatika Oil

Just because the bottle looks good and it smells nice

 

[ebbiebaby55]

Hits:
Roux Porosity Control - I got a little sample size at Sally's. After one use my hair felt like BUTTER!!! It was amazing, I am in love!

Jilbere Shower Comb - I also got this on my trip to Sally's. Inexpensive and works like a dream. I barely feel it in my hair. I don't know what I was detangling with before. A definite good find from this site!

 

[Divalicious]

Hit: Qhemet Tea Tree Grapeseed Therapeutic Pomade. I have a dry scalp and this really helps.

No misses

 

[cheetarah1980]

Hit:
Elucence Moisture Balance shampoo
Elucence Moisture Balance conditioner

These products are so moisturizing it's ridiculous. I have very dry, very coarse 4b hair and this stuff works miracles. It moisturizes without building up on my hair. What more could a girl want?

 

[Priss Pot]

I have more HITS to add to this month, here they are:

Ida's Shampoo Bars
Shealoe Butter (FNWL) <-- Revisited Hit
Avocado Butter (FNWL)
Sweet Almond Butter (FNWL)

 

[yourleoqueen]

Hit: Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream
Wanna talk about some soft hurr? I freakin love this stuff, and the smell is divine!

Bought but haven't tried yet:
BB Growth Lotion
Dabur Amla Oil
Dabur Vatika
Parachute Coconut Oil
Shikakai(sp?) powder

(Guess who finally went into the city? Hee-hee)

Update LOL

Hits: Dabur Amla & Vatika
BB (Moisturizing) Growth Lotion

I soaked my head in Amla (I had a nozzel tip cap that fit the bottle perfectly!) put on my plastic cap and slept in it. Next morning washed with Suave Clarifying poo. My hair was sooo soft and I had no tangles what-so-ever. I then massaged in the BB Growth Lotion and put some Vatika over that. Been 2 days and my hair is still so soft I may not need to moisturize again for a couple of days.

BTW, the BB Growth Lotion and the Vatika smell wonderful! The Amla smells old-ladyish, but I like it, reminds me of my grandmother. LOL

 

[scorpian]

Hit: BBD Stretch...The best conditioning deep treatment/reconstructor that I've ever used

 

[loonatick]

Boundless Tresses (jus started but i know its gon be a hit )

 

[Proudpiscean]

Revisited hit: Elucence MB conditioner and JBCO!

 

[Empress Yahudah]

Wow..I'm blown away by the Silicon mix leave in. I thought Lacio, Lacio was the bomb. Silicon Mix leave in makes my hair like butta. I'm like 10 weeks and my hair is soft and straight. I've been on a search for THE leave in so I've tried many...too many. I can't imagine anything topping this.

betta than Lacio ...i might have to look into this :scratchch

 

[Empress Yahudah]

Well I havent tried many new products since last hit n miss but ...

Hit: LAMAUR Bone Marrow Deep Penetrating Treatment...This deep conditioner left my hair very hydrated and i was playing with a shedded strand and that mug took force to break it was so stretchy and strong i guess cuz of the collagen in it ..def. a keeper I also notice I didnt see broken hairs like i use to(thnx Brownie518 )
Miss: well a revisited miss on Alma oil it still leaves my hair strawy(if thats a word) pro cuz of the mineral oil my hair doesnt like mineral oil

Dove Sheer Moisture Conditioner

Misses---Proclaim Glossing Serum, I am going to exchange if for some Porosity Control---its does not last, weighs hair down to much

Go ahead and try it, it really helps all kinds of issues. I just used it last night and detangling took half the time.

Care Free Curl Gold Instant Activator:

http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100316&navAction=jump&navCount=0&id=prod2330152

i've got a big ole bottle of this stuff that's probably a year old. it was actually sentenced to 3 lifeterms under the bathroom sink.

didn't like it so much when i had mostly permie hair but when i recently big minichopped this wiry hair of mine, the back ends (and other natural parts) were so blunt, stiff and dry feeling. my old standbys weren't helping at all.

had to dig through a few boxes for this since i haven't unpacked everything from the move yet but i'm sooooooo glad i didn't throw it away!

this and a teeny/tiny bit of water spritz before braiding and hair turned out so soft and moist feeling. definitely worthy of further experimentations

2 thumbs up and a thanks to Care Free Curl for the personal floation device!
