Co-signing on the Keraphix hit. I used it out of order (Moisturizing conditioner first and Keraphix last) so my hair was a little dry but I say it's a hit because my hair is a lot stronger after even that one use. I will see how it works when I use it next wash day.

I don't have enough products to have any misses.

[oglorious1]

Herb n Life Head Sprung, found this at the health food store, I was debating whether to buy this or not on a Friday, went back Sunday and there was only one bottle left. So I better stock up...great for detangling, moisture, and mask that MTG smell.

Misses: none so far, might have to give up on the DDT products (getting tired of looking at em)

 

[HoneyDew]

- Hits:
- Partial air drying and then sitting under the dryer after applying Keracare Silken Seal. (I always blowfryed in the past)
- Alopecil "Apretadora" Hair Fortifying Treatment before washing
- Culture Products – Wrap and Smooth Cream and MoistureAid conditioner
- The NEW CON Reconstructor
- Clip in Extensions
- Mixing Flowers of Sulfur, Emu Oil and carrot Cream. (My hair is growing so fast and without the MTG stinkiness!)
- Shen Min Topical – Not sure of the effectiveness yet, but it feels SO good on my scalp!

Miss:
- Revisted a few Nexxus Products – not a good idea –everything makes my hair feel hard.

 

[sithembile]

Miss:

Jasons Aloe vera conditioner - It left my hair feeling dry, I was disappointed as I love Jason conditioners.

 

[Victorian]

Hit:
Daily use of Jason Sea Kelp poo and Jason EFA con.
I've used both products before but not in this way. I'm out of all my good con wash conditioners, and the EFA is a good con but too heavy for daily con washes. I really wanted to try hard to use what I have before stocking up on stuff to start the new year, so I decided to try just shampooing each time before using the EFA. This is helping me avoid overconditioning and build up problems, but I'm getting the benefits of the moisture every day. My hair has been feeling fabulous lately.

 

[HoneyDew]

Another Hit:

Biolage Ultra Moisturizing Balm. I had a sample. GOOD STUFF!

 

[LovelyZ]

Hits: Dark and Lovely Naturally Almond Rain Oil Mist - Easy to use spray oil. Smells nice.

Dark and Lovely Naturally Honey Kissed Hair dress - nice product for keeping ends moist. Smells nice, too.

Miss: Motion Shine Enhancing Pomade - this product is supposed to protect the hair from heat damage, but I found it dries my hair which to me is counterproductive in preventing heat damage.

WGO

Miss:

Elasta mango butter for some reason this makes my ends frizzy....then again i'm having breakage issues so when i get that under control i will try it again.
