Miss:
-Having a ton of products
: I'm not really a junkie I just hadn't found my holy grails. But for the past 2 weeks with the increasing dews I've found a few products that work very well. I don't know if it'd be the same in winter but I need to sell off a good chunk of my stash.
Hits:
- Higher dews: makes my lo-po hair very happy
- Curl junkie smoothing lotion under CTDG or Komaza pudding: Very soft moisturized hair
- Komaza Protein treatment with a little extra silk amino acids

I hate that! You can't even go to the Target website to see what stores in your area carry it?

Using Soultanicals moisture dip condish after my henna. It did something to the color. Made my edges and front orange. There was color bleed on the rim of my plastic cap. Warning don't use this conditioner after color.
Semi miss
Grittiness of Moroccan henna. I rinsed and rinsed and rinsed. I still have have bits of grit in my hair.
On a brighter note,
Hit
My first henna/indigo was quite easy. No allergic reactions. Yay!
Soultanicals Moisture Dip conditioner. Felt nice after rinsing out.
Tresemme new formula no silicone condish, whatever it's called is fabulous. Moisture and slip. I used half the bottle rinsing out my henna.

my Sally Beauty doesn't carry honey hemp but they have other oyin products. They have Karen's too but it's the Lavender Vanilla scent. I prefer the Pomegranate Guava scent.

Hit: Shea Moisture High Po Cowash
This stuff is really good. Soft, clean moisturized hair. Wish it came in a bigger bottle but I'm using it once a week I can stretch it for a month. Now I want to try their other cleansing conditioners now.

New Hit:
Jakeala's Beau Vert Mask. Very moisturizing. This is similar to APB's detox mask, just with some added goodies.
Continued Hits:
All things APB. This line is slowly taking over my stash.
Miss:
Waiting almost 2 weeks to get shipping notice from NurCreations.

Haven't tried APB's Detox.
APB's detox is nice too. It's a tad lighter and has a nice tingle on the scalp. I'll be keeping both in my stash.

I hope there are no consistency issues. I know she got LHCF-Slammed.
That's why I tried to be patient. I didn't want her rushing, throwing stuff together.

I was going to let SM Purification go anyway (too much going on with them) and Beau Vert will be a nice replacement. I'll look at APB too.

Exactly. That's why I didn't contact her about the delay in shipping my order. Hopefully once we all get our orders everything is OK

I left SM purification mask on the wayside because of all the changes. That's why I really ventured out to try APB's detox mask and I wasn't disappointed. Now I have two options.

Yeah, after stockpiling a few jars, I thought: "This is crazy" it's not even worth all that time and energy.
....I have a few jars left and have given a few jars away. I've mentally moved on from that product.
Which was actually the only SM product that was always a definite repurchase. Still have the Manuka and 5n1 Superfruit to try.

Yeah, I didn't want to pressure her.
Especially since this was my 1st time buying from her.
But, two weeks was long enough.

Been looking for a good replacement for the Purification Mask. Appreciate the suggestions.

Yeah, that Jakeala Beau Vert is pretty amazing. Haven't tried the APB Detox yet.
I would use SM Purification as a Cleanser sometimes.
But I can't see myself doing that with the Jakeala though. I used it as a Treatment under the dryer & with Steam.
The SM Purification, I would either use on Dry Hair or as a Cleanser.

Agreed.
The original SM purification had African black soap in it so it could be used as a cleanser. I never used it that way , just as a treatment. So these two masks gives me very similar results to what I got when I used SM purification as a treatment.

Yeah, I was looking for something that is more of a cleanser that doesn't overly strip the hair. Thanks ladies, the search continues...

Miss: Rose water. A big ole mess for my face and even bigger mess for my hair. I decided to use rosewater on hair because it was making my face too oily so I got the bright idea for hair....NO, NOPE, OH HECK NAH
That stuff dried my hair out...just sucked out all the moisture my hair had.

HIT: Mixing Hairveda's Acai Berry and Red Tea Conditioners and using under heat for 30 minutes as a DC!
Whew, chile! I liked this combo so much as a rinse-out that I was curious to see how it performed as a DC under heat and I'm so glad I tried it! My hair was silky, soft, detangled, juicy and strong---but not brittle! I think I'm going to alternate between using the Sitranillah and this combo as my weekly moisturizing/rebalancing DC after my Megatek treatment!

I have only used it twice but I'm already claiming "hit" on my Chi Keratin leave-in. First, I really like the consistency. I expected a "mist" but it's more creamy. Makes my hair super smooth; I enjoy the smell; doesn't take much to get the job done....can't wait to see how it works the rest of the month.
