HIT: Keracare leave in

I really want to try this. My creamy leave in is the one thing I am trying to find a staple for. Den do you use it on wet hair or dry?

OMG I love this soo much, i just bought it today and applied some on dry hair, to my newgrowth and ends, now my hair is soo soft, smooth and moisturised its worth every penny. it has a very creamy rich consistency, and it smoothes into hair very well. I think this could be my staple, i can't wait to try it on freshly washed hair

Loving the Mango Butter! Glad it worked for you.

I am happy to say that I have nothing else new to report.

I always stalk your fotki and that is one of the reasons I got. No regrets here.

ORS Olive Oil Serum?....I will not shop...I will not!!

Don't worry, if I can get more soon, you'll have

I am so glad it works for you. I am a Mango Butter junkie. I have 2 1/2 jars. I am scared to run out! lol

softsheen-carson breakthru!

I finally used this stuff and it's just what I need. It gets my hair clean and doesn't leave a weird film like Cream of Nature does. I love the smell for some reason. I wish I didn't have hard ( or is it soft?) water so that my shampoo would lather. I didn't feel the tingle that people on this board said they experienced.


Revisted Hit: Sunglitz Silk & Shine Silk Therapy. I bought this from my hairdresser because she was out of biosilk and using it on my hair. I like the way my hair feels but the smell is UGH!! It's too perfumy. It makes my hair feel incredibly smooth but you have to make sure not to use so much. I'm going to probably go and buy a bottle of biosilk though because the smell is more pleasant. I dont use these things too much though becuase of the alcohol.

On the fence: Isoplus mousse ( the alcohol free one ). I think I used too much of this because there were a FEW flakes in my hair and my curls came out kind of crunchy. this doesn't realy matter because i did a roller wrap anyway. When I straightened my hair it was silky smooth.

miss: Ion Soft Bonnet hair dryer. I have come to terms with the fact that this dryer really sucks and i cant wait for another one. I think it dries my hair too fast!! and it comes out thick, bushy, and I have to straighten it out everytime I use it. I hate that.

Hit: Dudley PCA. Great basic moisturizer

Miss: Nexxus Therappe moisturizing shampoo. Managed to simultaneously dry out my hair AND leave my scalp dirty. I will be sticking with my NTM. Will have to wash again tomorrow...

nexxus therappe ate my hair up girl. It set me back for a month.

I hate that about CON!

Does breakthru have tetrasodium EDTA, Disodium EDTA, or just EDTA? That is the ingredient that is good for those of us that have hard water.

I ordered the tiny bottle from Sheldeez last night. I haven't bought any new products (other than my soft bonnet dryer) in so long so I figured I could treat myself.

I hope to be here on Monday to report a hit on this dryer.

hit: aphogee 2-min keratin reconstructor

misses: africas best organics shea butter plus moisturizer. i'm just annoyed cause it has a sort of pissy smell after a while. maybe i got a bad batch....

 

[Namilani]

LOL! I'm guessing somebody must've gone out of business! I was pretty shocked to see them there. The old pj in me woulda bought some, but thank God I'm finally set on my shampoos if nothing else ... How much are these normally?​

 

[envybeauty]

My first post!! ..after lurking/stalking the albums for months now...

My misses are in my siggy....as a reminder to me that not everything is for everybody (i.e., ME!)

Tried 4 Nexxus products this month and only liked Keraphix! It's a HIT!
The others (botanoil, therappe, and hummectress) were disappointing.

Also like Elasta QP Mango butter!
