HIT so far

Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Repair - I had 2 samples of this and used both. So far, I love it!!!!

 

[Aggie]

I don't know if I ever mentioned this but I think it's time I do but

A couple great new HITS for my hair are:

Keracare Hydrating shampoo
Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Lotion for fine hair, I felt like I could die and go straight to heaven after using this one. It was incredibly misturizing for my fine strands and made detangling soooo easy.

HIT:
Suave Humectant Conditioner: i really love this stuff. its so moisturizing and offers me so much slip. the slipperiest condish i've ever used. and the scent is amazing! ♥

MISS:
Garnier Fructis 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment: i hate this. i tried it two weeks in a row to deep condition. what i'm trying to find in a dc is slip, long lasting moisture, and a good scent. this particular dc offered me none of those things. when i rinsed it out, my hair felt soft, but that was only for a few second. i couldn't detangle with this in my hair, or after i rinsed it. i figured since it had so many oils in it, it would at least give my hair some slip, but no. also, those little beads never dissolved, and some are still in my hair. and the scent is horrid. i'm not really into that apple-watermelon scent; it is so overpowering. i won't be trying this again. ♥

Hit:

Taliah Waajid Protective mist bodifyier. WHY oh WHY did I sleep on this so long? I knew about this stuff since 2008...Because it has no glycerin. Ususally moisturizers don't do squat for me unless they have glycerin. But this stuff is wonderful. Plus its got wheat germ and hempseed oil in it so I'm getting lil ceramide bonus too.

hit
real Denman knockoff brush- i finally got a knock-off of the denman. i love it! detangling was so easy and none of my hair got ripped at all! i didn't lose much hair. it really smoothed my hair, and made my twists looks so much better. my twistout was the bomb too. the only thing i didn't like is that is increased the shrinkage in my hair. but thats alright. i'm not letting go of this brush. ♥

[chebaby]

miss: KCCC, i think i finally got it through my head that my hair hates this stuff.

 

[gimbap]

Miss: I co-washed with Aussie Moist, used Kinky Curly Knot Today as a leave-in, and then used Eco-styler Olive Oil Gel to do a braid out. Something about the mixture of these products caused serious product buildup. Dried white stuff all on my hair. I washed, condtioned with Aussie Moist and then did a braid out with the ecostyler gel ONLY and there was no buildup, so it has to be the Knot Today.
