May 2007 Hits and Misses

[HoneyDew]

HIT: Fermodyl 619

I had a good experience with this leave in. It made my hair smooth, but unfortunately my hair won't dry. I will only use this one next time if I dry loose under the hooded dryer.

It takes longer for me to airdry my hair with these, as well. But, its all good for me.

HITS!!! HUGE HITS!!!

NTM stuff (got at Nordstrom Rack store for like $4.99 each-- didn't realize they sold hair care products -- might as well their shoe selection sucks more and more each year)


and Loreal Vive Leave in and Ultra Conditioning Masque (got these for $1.99 at "Amazing Savings" discount store. Highly recommend for cheap haircare and Sally nail products.

I like the Neutrogena too. I also bought mine from Nordstrom Rack.

LMAO!!

Hits:
LeKair Shea Butter Cholesterol Creme- This stuff is a lovely frothy conditioner that smells like frosting. Great for deep conditioning.

2 inch grey magnetic rollers- These are larger than the $ store rollers I used to use, great for straightening and smoothing the hair.

ponytail rollersetting- I am still experimenting with this method and so far me likey, I don't have the patience for a full rollerset, this a nice alternative.

Hit:

Henna Queen Silk Worm rinse: I used this to detangle after shampooing and before deep conditioning and it detangled my hair effortlessly.

 

[envybeauty]

I LOVE these products!!! WHY DID THEY DISCONTINUE THAT FREAKIN' LEAVE-IN! Really a great product. The new Loreal Vive Conditioner is great, as well. I like the "Medium" formula.

I'm gonna try this this week. My arms aren't really long enough to properly rollerset my hair so I'm hoping this will be a good alternative for me since I love the way my ends look when they're rollerset. We'll see.

HIT:
White Rain Tropical Coconut Conditioner as a moisturizer

WOW!!!! After reading Letitia's review last night, I was anxious to try this although I wasn't ready to wash my hair. So I added some of this throughout my hair and wrapped it up. I took the scarf off this morning and My hair was soft and moisturized. I'm very pleased and can't wait to see how it performs as a prepoo. This might kick V05 S&C to the curb.

Returning hair products The PJ in me is getting tamed.

Garnier Long and Strong Conditioner - I revisited this to use it up. Now I know why I used to have it stockpiled. It's great for co washes.

Misses
Apple Pectin Deep Moisturizing Treatment - Why was this even invented? Left my hair dry and tangled. It gives no slip and actually lathered like a shampoo when I rinsed it out

Smooth N Shine Curl Activator Gel - It goes on okay but when it dries, it leaves a gummy residue on the hair.

Still Trying Out
John Frieda Radiant Red deep conditioner
Proclaim Curl Activator Gel

[macherieamour]

Oh no, what did you use from Tresemme that didn't agree with you, Mach? I love the Moisture Rich conditioner. Sorry you had a bad experience.

I know I was alllllll excited. I used my reg shampoo (keracare) and left it on for about an hour as per usual. Then I applied the same leave-in and serum and I was all tangled up

How do you usually use is Priestess? Maybe I messed it up!

 

[sareca]

Revisit on ma MegaTek. I've fallen in love all over again.

Thanks ms_jadu for reminding me and VWVixxen for tell me in the first place.
