Can I list Sally's as a hit, ??!! I got that Proclaim giftset for $12.99!! It retailed for over $18! I also picked up the Proclaim Natural 7 Oil (I battled between choosing the smaller, orange, Kemi-Oyl look-alike b/c I'd heard good reviews about this one) and a Motions leave-in. I know I said I wasn't buying anything new, but I was under pressure! I also needed a Kemi Oyl equivalent that comes in a larger bottle! And you can never have too many leave-ins! You know... A night one, daytime one, one for dry hair, one for wet hair, one that smooths edges, one that holds your hair in place, one just b/c you should always moisturize your hair ...

What's in the Proclaim gift set? I didn't get a chance to go to Sally's to pick up the new sales pamphelet.

The Proclaim Natural 7 Oil is really good. I bought it a few months ago and I use it for everything.

And that oil is surely a hit! I got it on sale for $2.49 and I'm lovin' the smell!!

ETA: I just realized the glossing polish is only 6 oz, but I'm still pleased. The lady that rang me up was talking about how great a gift this is... "No, it's just part of my early Christmas." And she told me about some sale after Thanksgiving! Woo-hoo! I meant to get my card right then and there. I used to actually not care all that much for Sally's...

You are so right. Products will make your rearrange your spending habits. I can't remember the last time I got a new pair of shoes just because. I really dont need anymore shoes because I have far to many now. lol (i am a shoe nut!)

 

[AtlantaJJ]

That is too funny!

You guys got me laughing out loud at the dang computer at work again...they are saying "what so dern funny about that spreadsheet she's supposed to be working on??????" I'mo get fired playin with ya'll!!

Now I gotta go to Sally's!

Hit-
Elasta QP recovery oil moisturizer
This product is so great and the ingredients are really good. I don't really like Elasta's products so I thought this would just be another space-grabber under the cabinet. I can use this with absolutely nothing else on my hair and I have great curl formation and shine! yessir

Misses-
Infusium 23 leave in conditioner
I ran out of my staple and decided to use this poor excuse for a leave-in. I started shedding like crazy almost within a few days. never again

 

[Namilani]

Now don't nobody get fired!! Think about your hair!! (Only a hair nut, lol!!)

This Motions Anti-Breakage Lotion I got yesterday is still on the fence for me. I've got this feeling when I take my hair down it's not going to be too pleasant... I sealed it with that Proclaim oil, but I've never had a good experience with ANYTHING with "Lotion" in the title ...

And about me and my leave-ins ... Well, I like that HEAVY-butt KeraCare w/ Jojoba and gonna get me some Hairdress (once I get some more payments off eBay. That's sad... Selling "my house" for my hair ...) But until I get my Hairdress, I need a lighter one. I don't really like my Paul Mitchell the Conditioner (added an oil mix), that discontinued Herbal Essences one, and my Africa's Best Hair Mayo is alright... But just how I know I have my shampoo and condtitioner, I wanna feel that way about my leave-in!!

[Soul♥Flower]

What is the this?? I need to find some way to moisturize my scalp.

I do this to keep my new growth supple and combable(it also makes my hair look thicker).

Basically, I part my hair (row by row) apply some type of liquid to my scalp, rub it in a little, smoothing it down on my roots. Then use a fine toothed comb to smooth the section down from the roots. Then I use grease or oil on the same section and do the same thing. Make another part and repeat until I finished my whole head.

I've since run out of B&B growth serum so now I'm using surge and sulfur8.
I don't do this every day, only on days when I wash my hair so I won't get all itchy.

Welcome the QP Oil recovery crew. I love this stuff. I wasn't crazy about most of the QP stuff and would not have tried this if it wasn't for the ladies here who raved it. (PJism isn't always bad when you find a staple!)

I have this in my collection. I better try it out. But it looked like it would be some good stuff! Glad it worked for you.

 

[preciousjewel76]

Hits: Seamless combs (from tenderheaded.com)

Misses: Jason Natural Biotin Conditioner - I used it, mixed with oil, for a prepoo and it didn't really seem to do anything great for my hair. I love the Sea Kelp con, though.

 

[Nanyanika]

HIT:
Surge mixed with coconut oil and conditioner

 

[HoneyDew]

HIT:

Pantene Pro-V Relaxed & Natural Conditioning Wrap & Set lotion

I bought it for a rollerset, but it turns out that it is really good for airdrying to a soft finish.

Yeah, that's how I use mine also. I haven't done a rollerset with it in ages. Thanks for reminding me I need to go get another bottle.

 

[HoneyDew]

It is very moisturizing. I normally use Pantene's smooth stsrt comb in treatment or the Pantene restoratives leave in cream and they both make my hair soft, too. But, I found that with the Relaxed and Natural spray, my hair dried faster and a little straighter.

 

[omnipadme]

I love that gloss polish, it's the best one i've tried and it makes my hair so silky soft
