HITS:
-Aphogee Balancing Moisturizer=Got a tip to use this as a cowash and its been doing me really good! Smells great, hair felt very moisturized afterwards. Even when i had over 20 weeks of NG.
-HairVeda Almond Glaze=LOVE this stuff! Smells great and it did slick down my edges like nobody's business. I didn't even need a headband or hair scarf to tame it. Not too greasy and gives shine!
-Pantene Pro-V Curls Styling Milk=I saw a lot of naturals using this and they said it helps tame frizzies. So i tried it on my relaxed hair. Smells soo good and i applied it to wet hair and did a normal rollerset. Curls looked good to me! AND my rollerset had more staying power.
-Castor & EVOO Hot Oil Treatment=Put half EVOO and Half Black Castor oil in an applicator bottle and applied all over scalp only.(dry hair) Shower cap and 20 mins under dryer.
I usually get dandruff issues right after i relax and wanted to try something different than ACV. Hair & Scalp feels great! No flakes! Didn't even feel the need to grease my scalp yet.
MISS:
-Shea Butter=GREAT for my skin but didnt do jack on my hair or scalp. Just sat there. No shine, didn't slick anything down right. Gives a nice sheen on my ashy legs but nothing for hair.

SE hair grease for dry scalp--helped relieved horrible itchies, moisturized well and made my hair shiny and it was cheap!
CHI Silk Infusion-softness and shine
Miss
Head & Shoulder's Aloe Moisturizing poo, well it stopped the itching but it dried out my hair wicked! Must find a moisturizing shampoo that relieves the itching.

Undecided: Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Conditioner..I used this right after I deep conditioned for a half hour with the Damage Remedy Reconstructor. I don't know ..I did not feel much slip but I did notice I did not shed as much during that wash. I will just have to try again.

Miss: Pantene relaxed and natural breakage defense mask- kinda thick with no slip had to mix with humecto to soften hair. Im not sure but is this a protein product??
Ive been on the fence with this one but Im going to go ahead and call it a hit:
ORS olive oil cream - has done its job with the fall weather keeping hair moist.

I have never used this variety before. I usually stick with the Hello Hydration of the Dangerously Straight. How does the Replenishing Conditioner compare to the other two?

Miss: Cantu shea butter. Did nothing for my hair
HITS:
Hair therapy wrap- I love this to do my DC. I can move around while DC my hair.
Jessicurl Weekly Deep Treatment: Left my hair moisturized and soft-love it. I wish it wasn't so expensive but I wil repurchase
ORS Aloe Shampoo- Left my hair clean without stripping it. I may use this 1x a week. I like that it is readily available too.
MISSES:
Chagrin Valley Soaps for my hair-wasn't horrible but left a film I think--I may try it again to make sure but for now I will use the soaps for my body--> which they are excellent for.
ON THE FENCE: Pantene Relaxed and Natural Mask- Great detangler. I don't know if it was this product or Chagrin that left a film on my hair and also left it hard. I will try re-using this as a co-wash and see what happens

Hit: Mizani Hydrafuse Moisturizing Treatment
I've had it for a while but just recently used it; It's very moisturizing and provided a good amount of slip.

Hits:
FHI Hot Sauce-Made my hair super duper smooth and shiny and lightweight. CHI SI never made my hair feel so wonderful
Silken Child serum- Nice and thick. Smells great and adds great shine
Silk Elements Olive Oil Regular Relaxer- Worked beautifully. Straightened perfectly, no burns. Just shiny, soft and smooth hair. I love it even more than the original relaxer!
Misses:
Silk Elements Olive Oil Moisturizing Treatment- Moisturized my hair, but didn't give any slip amd I lost more hair than usual. I won't repurchase
NTM leave in- I used and loved it months back, but I used it recently and it made my hair break. It took a few uses to realize what the problem was. Too bad
