SSI Sugar Peach Conditioner- echoing what @Beamodel said cause yaaaaaaaas soft fluffy hair after I finished using it today
I paired it Bekura YAM which made it even better. So now I'm irked that I only bought 1 bottle

Camile Rose Naturals Coconut Water Leave in-
Has slip and provides mouisture.
Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai Twist Butter-
So far I like this. Soft fluffy hair, especially paired with the Coconut Water leave in. Thanks for mentioning this product and the reviews @AgeinATL
@Saludable84

ETA- SSI Green Tea Hair Milk- I love this far. It's pretty mouisturizing @Beamodel

 

[flyygirlll2]

@Saludable84 For real though... A girl has to have options. That's why I nicknamed my hair little heifer cause she likes different things lol.

 

[Aggie]

I always get in trouble. I do it too myself. And I take a lot of my sisters in here seriously. They ain't never lie. I was just running hiding packages from my husband today because NurCreations, SheScentIt and Bekura all thought it was cute to come at once

The real struggle is determining who to try first

I know right?

 

[Beamodel]

So, what your saying is, I should have ordered 5 instead of 1?

Lol, pretty much. At least 2
I has great slip and softens your hair so well.

@flyygirlll2

I'm glad the Sugar Peach did your hair right too. I will try it next time with yam or jakeala sweet honey thang.

Why? Just why? Omg.

I will exercise self control.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@Saludable84 Sorry Girl I hate the fact that the YAM is pricey but it works well when paired with DC's. I think it gives them that extra boost IMO.

 

[KinksAndInk]

Miss: cowashes that come in jars. Give me a bottle or a tube or something. Deep conditioner in a jar doesn't bother me one bit but cowashes in jars irk my soul.

Miss
CJ Pattern Pusha -- It doesn't play well with anything.

Well, I opened a new account so I got it for $10 off but I doubt I can get away with that again, so the YAM better last. I'm hoping I just like it because if I love it, that will be a problem.

HIT: APB's Moisturising Hair Cleansing Whipped Crème.

Thank you @rileypak for raving about this alllll over the site!

This left my hair clean, yet soft and pliable. No stripping, tangling etc that I can get from some shampoos and at the same time my hair didn't have that coated feeling like it didn't clean properly (which is also an issue I have had with some cowashes/co-cleansers).
As usual I am heavy handed, so I probably used 1/4 of the bottle at the minimum. I WILL be stocking up on this at her next sale.

@KinksAndInk funny you mentioned cowashes in jars...I would actually like this one in a jar as it is pretty thick. I find trying to grip this bottle with my wet hands and getting the product out quickly an issue.

I totally agree. I couldn't imagine using it by itself because I would go through it way too fast. Adding it to other DCs or putting some on top after you apply your DC adds some amazing moisture and shine.

I have yet to find anything comparable so I just stock up during her 'sales'...

 

[gorgeoushair]

I actually thought the new Camille Rose was going to be a dupe for this or the Caramel Treatment but it's a leave in.

 

[fasika]

Hit:
- Protein pre-pooing. This will definitely be a regular thing. Maybe every two weeks for now, then once a month for maintenance.
- Heat DC.
- SM Manuca Honey deep conditioner

Miss:
-Garnier Pure Clean gel

another one joins the crew!!!

So it used to be in a jar and the texture was different. It was much, much looser back then. I was always worried about contaminating the jar (I did get water in one of them ) so I started requested mine in bottles after a while.
She thickened it up quite a bit when she made the switchover to the 8 oz. bottles.

Loc Soc HIT.

When my hair is free and wild I can just pull it on...... Cute patterns too.

Miss:
Siamese Twist Olive Bhringaraj Sugared Pink Hair Cream- couldn't get past the smell. It was supposed to have been in a Double vanilla scent but either the ingredients were overpowering or it was not scented correctly. I tried using in a variety of ways but it just wasn't enough for me to get past the scent.
J Monique Naturals Mango Tango Hair Butter- this butter was nice and thick and emulsified nicely but no wow factor for me.
BelNouvo Coco Castor Nectar Mist- I tried this based on the hype a while back, but I'm finally conceding that it's not that good. I used it up as a refresher/moisturizer since as a leave in it didn't do much.

Continued Hits:
Cream & Coco Cotton Candy Clouds and Jakeala Amla Hair Shea Parfait
Love the consistency and both are great for sealing in moisture on my mini twists.

 

[vevster]

Miss. traditional poo. Even diluted, I had a harder time detangling and saw some adorable curls in my comb. I'll stick to ACV and clay based poos when I want a deeper cleanse.

 

[ms.blue]

Miss:
QB hair butter and entwine hair styler. My twist out is filled with white flakes, feels rough/frizzy and just plain ugh.

 

[Smiley79]

Shea Moisture African black soap shampoo...my itchy scalp significantly improved...barely itches now. I do find it to be drying so a pre poo is a must.

 

[Saludable84]

Hit:
SSI Sugar Peach Conditioner. I like it so far. Went on well, slip was good and I liked the conditioning results. I do understand where it could have done more and why @flyygirlll2 used YAM on top of it. My hair felt good, not great, but my results don't break the outcome and the fact that I really liked the conditioner. It's also more on the side of creamy and not thick. I wish it came in a pump bottle because I hate squeeze bottles.

@Saludable84
Good Review!

I bought to use as a R/O, I see everyone is using it as a DC'er?

I plan to use it as a cowash and to aid detangling prior to DCing.

I was thinking of even trying it as a leave-in.

Miss: Not having enough room in the fridge for my hair products. Don't have enough handmade products to justify a mini fridge or anywhere to put one. I need to figure something out because my current situation isn't working.

Find a cool dry place in your home. Is your location humid?

Not humid and it's still pretty cool here. I've been thinking about the basement. The only problem is that I'd have to find a good hiding place because I have a sibling that loves touching things that don't belong to her. I'll probably just slow down on my handmade purchases until I move. Which means I'll have to pass up all the good sales

I've always just stored mine in a closet with no issues. Now I have a room and I just store them on the shelf. The only thing I store in the fridge are the teas I brew for tea rinsing.

Put them in a box marked 'Xmas Decorations' or 'Plumbing Supplies'.
