November 2013 Hits & Missess

[krissyhair]

I suppose these are my hair "hits and misses" for the month.

My hits are: exercising; water rinsing; curl formers. Misses include misusing olive oil and letting second hand smoke smell linger in my hair for days.

 

[IronButterfly]

MISS:
OBIA Curl Enhancing Custard. Left my hair hard, dry and fuzzy and no chance of second day hair. Just horrible.

Continued Hits:
Curly Kinks Coil Jam! Four day hair and loving it. Well defined curls and kinks and no dryness. Easily re-activated.
SD Mocha Silk Hair Milk (I'm sorry I strayed away so long). Especially effective re-activating the Coil Jam.
HH Soft Marshmallow

New Hit:
HH EspressoSelf! Moisturizing and delicious smelling.

Froreal3

You will love it. Are you gonna try it for BF?

 

[Froreal3]

^^Beamodel I think I wanna try it on Blk Friday. Thinking about getting a couple samples next week and ordering an ishload if I like it.

ETA: How is Oyin's shipping? Or do you get it from Sage and the like?

When I first purchased it, i got it from Oyin. But after that I got it from CurlMart bc they had frequent sales. I don't remember how Oyin shipping time frame was though. Sorry.

 

[MilkChocolateOne]

Hit:

using a small amount of Oyin Sugar Berries Pomade on my ends

 

[Beamodel]

Hit
Moisturizing my ends with HH Expressoself and sealing with sunflower seed oil.

My ends are so sleek and smooth. I don't feel the need to re moisturize tonight either.

Continued Hits:
Hairveda Whipped Creme Ends
Hairitiage Hydration: Mango Colada & Mango Cloud

NEW HIT:
Curl Junkie's Daily Fix Cleansing Conditioner

DITTO!

The smell is delicious, like a vanilla mint candy or something. It cleanses well and DID NOT strip my hair. It almost felt as if I had conditioned it. LOVE IT!

Yeah, it's Vanilla-Minty Deliciousness.

Nice and Creamy. Cleansing & Non-Stripping.

Very nice and definitely worth the Money.

happynappyhoney.com’s Moroccan Clay conditioning hearts....I'm puzzled by this product. I sent her an email asking how to use it. This is her reply:

Glad to hear that you are loving the DC! The conditioning hearts are pretty much a low lather conditioning bar & you can use as a co-wash or even a wash and go. Make sure the strands are soak and wet then apply by rubbing until you see slight lather. Wash out and strands should feel cleansed and silky soft. One bar lasts for months!

Thank you again..

HNH

That didn't help because that's precisely how I tried to use it and I almost had a set-back trying to rub and rub 'til I saw a slight lather. So, I don't know how it is.....Looked at YT videos, too and they said the same thing...difficulty applying the product. Two thumbs down!

TWO THUMBS UP! and a back-flip for happynappyhoney.com's Pink Sugar Hibiscus DC. Used as a leave-in. Hair is moisturized, soft and non-greasy. Detangled my hair very well, too. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product. Will be stocking up this Friday!

NEW HIT:
Curl Junkie's Daily Fix Cleansing Conditioner

new hit for me as well, bought it last september but used it only last week! my hair fainted

 

[KinkyGenius]

MISS
SD Shea What! - This just was not moisturizing enough for me unfortunately. I almost wanted to DC again after rinsing this out.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

Hit:
A Blow-out/flat iron that lasted for two weeks (I miss my curls, though.)
Avocado oil

 

[Holla]

Avocado oil

I saw this at Costco for $6.99 for a big bottle on Saturday. I almost bought it .... for my hair.

 

[HoneyA]

Hits:

Design Essentials Natural Curl Stretching Cream = flawless braidouts
Castor oil
vatika oil
Amla oil
Homemade whipped shea butter mix

 

[DoDo]

A continued hit was:

Oyin Hair Dew and realizing I could replace Qhemet Burdock Root Butter cream as well as Camille Rose Moisture Milk with it. I can get a liter of that stuff and I'm straight.

An oldie but goodie hit was:

A single french braid on twists because it is easy to do, keeps my twist set fresh and minimizes the amount of twists I need to do initially in order to look decent. This also keeps my hair stretched and I like how my hair looks in it. Cute protective styling for the win. Yay for going to sleep, waking up, and then not having to redo your hair!

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

Miss Argan oil. This does nothing for my hair.

 

[so1913]

Miss:

Chagrin Valley Babassu Marsh Mallow Poo Bar - I didn't like how this one left my hair feeling afterwards, nothing like the Ayurvedic poo bar.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

Hit: Bee Mine conditioner. This stuff helps detangle so well. Too bad I think it's too expensive (got it via a swap).

QB AHTB and eco custard combo. Nice soft twist out.

After using this two weeks in a row I think I'm going to use protein free conditioner more often.
