Hits:
MyHoneyChild- Type 4 Creme (smells great and moisturizes scalp and ends)

[HoneyDew]

honeydew,

do you mind telling me where you purchase this? tia

I ordered it from Ebay, but you can Google it for other places. I seems that drugstores carry it, but I had trouble finding it. But I did find it on Ebay for a pretty cheap price.

[sweetcashew]

HITS

Soft and beautiful Extra lite creme moisturizer.
I can't believe I actually found a moisturizer that leaves my fine hair soft but not weighed down. I'm mad I didin't try this before.

MISS

Elasta QP mango butter.
Every time I use it I've noticed a burning on my scalp after wrapping and my skin around my hair line and the nape of my neck. I can't really stand the smell either.

 

[myco]

Hit:

Infusium Moisturizing Conditioner:
Spreads through the hair like Elucence. Air dried hair is soft and smooth after leaving in for only 5 minutes this morning. I hope it holds up like this when I'm 11 weeks post relaxer.

IC Straightening and Thermal Protectant Serum:
Not too heavily scented, keeps hair smooth and shiny, without weighing down. Great for rollersets.

Optimum Multi-mineral reduced pH Body Heat Activated conditioner:
I think whatever minty extract is in it makes your head and body feel cool, as opposed to the conditioner really heating up. But it's still refresshing and works well as a medium protein treatment.

Misses:
Motions Weightless conditioner and hairdress. Just didn't do anything special for me.
